The updated landmark Abu Dhabi hotel has the region's first vegan rooms

Emirates Palace Hotel has officially rebranded as Emirates Palace Mandarin Oriental, Abu Dhabi, signalling a new era as part of the Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group portfolio.

To commemorate the milestone, a ribbon-cutting ceremony was held at the hotel. During the ceremony, the hotel’s version of the brand's signature fan was unveiled. Designed by Abu Dhabi-born multidisciplinary artist Ahmad Saeed Al Areef Al Dhaheri, it's inspired by the UAE’s history of pearl diving.
