On our family holiday to Thailand with kids we flew business class to Thailand with Etihad Airways. As we were transiting through Abu Dhabi we decided to finish our trip in this wonderful Emirate for some serious fun. Staying at the WB Abu Dhabi Hotel was the perfect way to finish our trip and the children (and us) absolutely loved it. This is the world’s first Warner Brother Hotel and it is absolutely wonderful for a trip to Yas Island and the theme park fun of this area. We travel a lot and stay in a large number of hotels every year but the ten year old declared this the, “best hotel I’ve ever stayed at”. High praise indeed!

WB Abu Dhabi Hotel: Location
This is a really well located hotel. Just under 9 miles to Abu Dhabi Airport it is, of course, close to the Warner Bros. World™ Abu Dhabi – around a two minute walk across to it.
The other local theme parks, Ferrari World and Yas Water World are also very easily accessible from the hotel with a free shuttle bus to them.
Staying at the Warner Bros. Hotel Abu Dhabi
There are a number of different styles of rooms available at the hotel. We stayed in two of their interconnecting doubles which were a great space for a family.
There was a great Warner Bros. theme throughout with posters, cushions and even comics to read. The decor was lovely with big cushion chairs and quirky lamps.
There was a mini SMEG fridge to fill with drinks and a Nespresso machine with capsules to use.
There was lots of space to relax in the room and interconnecting for families is perfect. One of our rooms had a rainforest shower and the other a bath with shower over.
There were great products in the bathroom too.
We loved the huge, comfortable beds. We had some big glass windows which overlooked the WB World theme park.
The Facilities
This is a really fun hotel and there is lots of detail around to keep everyone occupied.
The downstairs lobby is huge and has clips of cartoons playing out. There’s also a fun shop here contained WB merchandise.
On the first floor there’s a large pool area complete with lifeguards. There’s some shade here and a younger children’s splash pool which is great fun.
The children loved the child sized deckchairs which could be turned towards the huge screen showing Warner Bros. classics.
We particularly loved this space in the evening when the shows continued and you could buy popcorn or snacks and sit out in the warm air to watch the entertainment.
At the front of the hotel they have recreated the friends sofa, lamp and fountain which is a really fun space to take photos.
There are plenty of other props around including the latest Batman car and lots of little detail from WB productions which are fun to spot.
There’s also a lovely swimming pool on the top floor. This is much more of a serene space with great views.
Eating in
We absolutely loved the food at the Warner Brothers hotel.
Breakfast was a fabulous spread of pretty much everything you could ever want. There were fruits and pastries, an egg chef, hot buffet style dishes and cold salads.
We loved all the Middle Eastern inspired dishes from zaatar croissants to humus and dals. There were lots of sweet treats for the kids like doughnuts and jellybeans.
We loved our morning meal here which really did set us up for the day.
We also ate in the Sidekicks family style diner for dinner which was also buffet style. This worked so well for us as a family.
There were plenty of child friendly favourites like pizza and fish fingers alongside curries and salads. As with breakfast there really was something for everyone and we all loved the meal here.
One of the real treats at dinner is that lots of the characters arrive to meet with you. We saw Tom and Jerry, Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck who all stopped for photos and interaction which had the children really laughing.
How child friendly is the Warner Brothers Hotel Abu Dhabi?
This is a wonderfully child friendly hotel and the children loved it and didn’t want to leave. There is something at The WB Abu Dhabi Hotel for all ages and its proximity to the Yas Island parks also makes it a great base.
My children have suggested we make it a yearly trip to visit they loved it so much.
