Le Royal Méridien Abu Dhabi has been recognized by Luxury Lifestyle Awards as the 2026 winner of Best Luxury Sustainable Hotel in Abu Dhabi, UAE, recognizing the hotel’s continued commitment to incorporating responsible practices into its luxury hospitality operations.

Located in the heart of Abu Dhabi’s cosmopolitan business district and within walking distance of Corniche Beach, Le Royal Méridien Abu Dhabi combines five-star accommodation, distinctive dining, leisure and business facilities with sustainability initiatives that form an increasingly important part of the hotel’s daily operations.

A key part of the hotel’s sustainability journey is its Green Key certification. Le Royal Méridien Abu Dhabi holds Green Key 5-Star certification and has received the Green Key Award for eight consecutive years, reflecting its continued efforts to operate responsibly while maintaining the standards of service and guest experience expected of a luxury hotel.

The hotel’s Urban Greenhouse is another important part of this approach. Using hydroponic cultivation, the greenhouse produces a selection of fresh greens and herbs that are harvested by the hotel’s culinary teams and used across its dining venues. This initiative supports responsible sourcing while bringing sustainability closer to the guest experience.

The commitment is also reflected in the hotel’s culinary offering. Market Kitchen draws inspiration from local markets and farm-to-table principles, incorporating selected produce from the Urban Greenhouse. Stratos Revolving Lounge Bar & Grill, with its distinctive 360-degree views of Abu Dhabi, adds another element to the hotel’s diverse dining offering.

Beyond dining, Le Royal Méridien Abu Dhabi features 278 guest rooms, suites and hotel apartments, together with an outdoor swimming pool, fitness center, spa, Le Royal Club Lounge and versatile meeting and event facilities.

Heinz Grub, General Manager of Le Royal Méridien Abu Dhabi, commented: “We are pleased to receive this recognition from Luxury Lifestyle Awards. Sustainability is an important part of the way we operate our hotel and serve our guests. From our Green Key journey to our Urban Greenhouse and the use of locally grown produce by our culinary teams, we continue to look for practical and meaningful ways to operate responsibly while maintaining the high standards and distinctive experiences our guests expect from Le Royal Méridien Abu Dhabi.”
