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

Located in the heart of Abu Dhabi’s cosmopolitan business district, Le Royal Méridien Abu Dhabi combines contemporary accommodation, distinctive dining, leisure and business experiences with sustainability initiatives that are increasingly embedded across the property’s operations.

A key element of the hotel’s sustainability journey is its Green Key certification, with Le Royal Méridien Abu Dhabi holding a Green Key 5-Star certification and having received the Green Key Award for eight consecutive years. The recognition reflects the hotel’s ongoing efforts to incorporate environmental responsibility into its day-to-day operations while maintaining the high standards expected of a luxury hospitality experience.

At the heart of the property’s sustainability initiatives is its Urban Greenhouse, where hydroponic cultivation is used to grow a selection of fresh greens and herbs. The produce is harvested by the hotel’s culinary teams and incorporated into dishes across its dining venues, creating a direct connection between responsible sourcing and the guest experience.

This approach is particularly reflected in the hotel’s culinary offering. Market Kitchen draws inspiration from local markets and farm-to-table principles, incorporating selected produce from the hotel’s Urban Greenhouse. Stratos Revolving Lounge Bar & Grill, Abu Dhabi’s distinctive revolving dining destination, offers panoramic 360-degree views of the city, while the hotel’s wider portfolio of dining concepts provides guests with a diverse range of culinary experiences.

Beyond dining, Le Royal Méridien Abu Dhabi offers 278 guest rooms, suites and hotel apartments, alongside leisure and wellness facilities including its outdoor pool, fitness center, spa, Le Royal Club Lounge and meeting spaces.

Heinz Grub, General Manager of Le Royal Méridien Abu Dhabi commented: “We are delighted to be recognized by the Luxury Lifestyle Awards for our commitment to sustainable luxury. For us, sustainability is not a separate initiative; it is increasingly part of how we think about the guest experience and the way we operate. From our Green Key journey to our Urban Greenhouse and the way our culinary teams use locally grown produce, we continue to look for meaningful ways to operate more responsibly while delivering the distinctive experiences our guests expect from Le Royal Méridien Abu Dhabi.”

The Luxury Lifestyle Awards recognizes and celebrates leading luxury brands and hospitality establishments across the global luxury sector. The 2026 recognition places Le Royal Méridien Abu Dhabi among properties acknowledged for combining luxury, quality and responsible hospitality practices.
