Abu Dhabi Family Suites and Apartment Hotels
17 family-friendly hotels with family suite in Abu Dhabi . Handpicked for families who want the best.
Abu Dhabi spreads across an island city and its neighbours, from the Corniche and the downtown towers to Al Maryah Island, the Qaryat Al Beri waterfront near the Grand Mosque and Yas Island with its theme parks. For families, a suite or a hotel apartment makes a stay in this heat far easier: a separate living room for nap times, a kitchen for breakfast and space to spread out after a morning outdoors. The hotels on this page range from serviced apartments with full kitchens to five-star resorts with kids' clubs, and I group them below by the part of the city they suit best.
Abu Dhabi's hotel apartment sector is large relative to other Gulf capitals, a byproduct of the city hosting long-stay business travelers and extended family visits. That means family suite options here skew toward kitchenettes and full kitchens rather than the connecting-door format common in traditional hotel chains, useful for parents who want to prep a toddler's breakfast rather than order room service every morning.

🛏️Why Abu Dhabi is Great for Hotels with Family Suite
A family suite in Abu Dhabi is less about luxury than about rhythm: the heat pushes outings to the morning and evening for much of the year, and the hours in between are spent indoors. I would choose an apartment with a kitchen, such as Park Arjaan by Rotana, Al Maha Arjaan by Rotana or Marriott Executive Apartments Downtown, for a stay longer than a few nights, and a resort with a kids' club, like Rosewood Abu Dhabi or Shangri-La Qaryat Al Beri, for a shorter break.
Downtown hotel apartments are the practical choice for longer stays. Al Maha Arjaan by Rotana, rated 9 by more than 3,500 guests, has suites with fully equipped kitchenettes in the main business district, plus a rooftop pool with a hot tub, a sauna and a steam room. Marriott Executive Apartments Downtown gives every unit a living room, a dining area and a full kitchen with washing machine and dishwasher, a short walk from Al Wahda Mall and about ten minutes by car from the Corniche beach. Al Manzel Hotel Apartments adds full kitchens and a rooftop pool, and Beach Rotana Residences offers kitchenettes, sea-view balconies, an infinity pool and an outdoor play area, about 4 km from Qasr al-Hosn.
The area around Khalifa Park and the Grand Mosque suits families who want space and facilities for younger children. Park Arjaan by Rotana has 172 furnished apartments, from studios up to three-bedroom suites, next to Khalifa Park, and its guests share the Bodylines club of the Park Rotana complex, with an outdoor pool, a sheltered children's pool, a play area and a floodlit tennis court. Park Rotana Abu Dhabi itself, rated 9.2, is five minutes from Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque and adds a game room. Pearl Rotana Capital Centre, by the National Exhibition Centre, has one- and two-bedroom options, and Shangri-La Qaryat Al Beri combines a private beach with a kids' club and a playground.
Five-star resorts on the islands bring suites together with full children's programmes. Rosewood Abu Dhabi, on Al Maryah Island and linked to The Galleria, has 40 suites, a kids' club, a playground and a game room, with views over the Gulf and the skyline. Four Seasons Hotel Abu Dhabi at Al Maryah Island offers water-view rooms and suites and The Pearl Spa and Wellness. Grand Hyatt Abu Dhabi Hotel & Residences Emirates Pearl, on the West Corniche, has a temperature-controlled infinity pool, and Rixos Marina Abu Dhabi adds a private beach with family and interconnected rooms, about 15 km from Louvre Abu Dhabi. Royal Rose Hotel offers suites with a separate living room, five minutes from the Corniche promenade.
Yas Island is the base for theme park days. The WB Abu Dhabi, Curio Collection by Hilton, rated 9.1 by more than 4,000 guests, is a short walk from Yas Waterworld and the Yas Marina Circuit and has a rooftop pool and a children's playground. Two listings near Ferrari World and Yas Mall, the Waterfront Yas apartment and a renovated one-bedroom apartment, are private one-bedroom rentals rather than hotel suites, with few reviews so far, so I would check the sleeping arrangement for a family of four before booking. La Quinta by Wyndham Abu Dhabi Al Wahda, with a rooftop pool, an indoor pool and family rooms near Al Wahda Mall, is a simpler central alternative.
Parent's take
I would choose Park Arjaan by Rotana for a family stay of a week or more in Abu Dhabi, because its apartments go up to three bedrooms, sit next to Khalifa Park and share a sheltered children's pool with the Park Rotana complex. Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque is close by, and my advice is to visit it early in the day, before the heat builds.

Families staying here find the in-suite kitchen genuinely useful for younger kids' meals on a schedule that doesn't match restaurant hours.
