2. St Regis Saadiyat Island (tends to be more expensive than the other St Regis but lovely rooms). Not much to do around there as you will be away from the city center.
3. St Regis Abu Dhabi (good breakfast buffet and adjacent to a mall; good for exploring the city).
Thanks! The RC is actually quite inexpensive- about $200 with an AMEX FHR, which I think is quite a deal.... PH and Four Seasons are closer to $300, and the Conrad is also about $200. With AMEX FHR we should get a club room upgrade (hopefully). So you feel the RC location is OK?
