Is there somewhere in AUH (or just outside) where we can freshen up in either one of the lounges or perhaps an airport hotel to make the layover a bit more comfortable for the family?

Note 1: AUH arrival is approx 07:00, AUH-India is approx 14:30
Note 2: 2 UK passports and 1 Indian passport in the family

What are my options - if any?

Thank you.
Enthusiastic Flier,

My wife just transited through AUH on a 6.5-hour connection USA-India and used EY's Meet and Greet transit service, which includes access to the EY Premium Lounge. She said the service and lounge were wonderful.

I will post the full details after I get them from her. You would be escorted through the security checks, thus bypassing any queues, which would be helpful since traveling with a toddler.

That might be an option for you, but the cost is per person, so in your case it would be AED 325x2=650, which is roughly GBP 135.
