Imagine this: you stroll into The WB™ Abu Dhabi and it’s like someone bottled up movie magic and espresso and set it on a chandelier. Now let me take you on a slightly dramatic (but accurate!) tour of every mouthwatering, selfie-ready, sunset-soaked corner of this place.
Craft Services – Selfieccino: foam art that flatters and flatters hard
Close your eyes (no, keep them open – you’ll want to see this). You order a cappuccino and the barista asks, “Portrait or cartoon?” You hand over a selfie or pick an iconic Warner Bros. face. A few swirls, a quick press of edible ink, and – boom – your froth becomes a tiny, caffeinated version of you (or Bugs Bunny, if you chose wisely).
Sensory notes: warm steam, the faint snap of a biscotti, the tiny hiss of the milk frother, and that first sip that tastes like motivation. It’s the kind of coffee that demands to be photographed from above, with dramatic overhead lighting and the caption: “Had my portrait done this morning. No big deal.”
Who it’s perfect for: people who like caffeine and validation. Also excellent for tourists who want a quirky memento.
The Director’s Club – Sunday Roast: the slow-roast love letter
Think of the roast as a rom-com where everyone wins: the beef sighs into tenderness after hours in the oven, the lamb perfumes the air with rosemary and garlic like it’s auditioning for Best Supporting Aroma, and the chicken arrives with a bronzed, crunchy exterior that says, “Yes, I am very proud of myself.”
Plating theatre: generous slices of meat, a puddle of glossy gravy, Yorkshire puddings puffed like tiny golden pillows, duck-fat potatoes that crackle on the edges, and a parade of roasted vegetables that somehow taste like home. There’s even a cheeky cheese-baked cauliflower that’ll make vegetarians make noises usually reserved for decadent desserts.
Kid’s menu (a.k.a. peace treaty for parents): fun names, honest flavors, and portions that will keep the tiny critics satisfied. Pro tip: order the Gulf prawn cocktail as an upgrade and pretend you’re in a seaside noir.
Mood: family-table warmth, chatterable volume, laughter over napkin theatrics. It’s comfort served with a side of cinematic flair.
Director’s Club Brunch – Brunch, but make it red-carpet
Picture yourself arriving to a clinking flute of bubbly and live music in the background – not too loud, because this is sophisticated revelry. The sharing plates come like mini plot twists: truffle mac & cheese croquettes that explode with umami, sesame-crusted tuna that feels like a modern art installation, and oysters Rockefeller that make you whisper “yes” to life.
Vibe: glamorous but relaxed. People are wearing sneakers with silk because this is a hotel that understands contradiction.
Best for: long lunches, celebratory gatherings, and anyone who appreciates food that performs.
The Overlook – rooftop romance, poolside sass, and sunset selfies
The Overlook is where skyline romance meets hangout energy. Imagine an infinity pool that seems to pour into the horizon, glass that frames the sunset like a director’s screen, and comfy seating that invites you to linger.

Little practical luxuries
- Photographing tip: For Selfieccino, shoot from above. For The Overlook at sunset, use portrait mode – front light please. For the roast? Close-ups of gravy drips are allowed and encouraged.
- What to wear: smart-casual with a splash of confidence. Sandals + blazer? Go for it. Swimsuit + oversized shirt? Absolutely.
- Dietary needs: vegetarian and seafood options are thoughtfully available; let the team know any allergies and they’ll handle it like pros.
- Family friendliness: The Director’s Club rolls out a kids’ menu that’s both playful and substantial – a parental sanity-saver.
Final flourish
This place understands theatrics without the pretension. Food that comforts, rooftops that flirt with the skyline, and tiny moments – like coffee foam in your likeness – that feel purposefully joyful. It’s the kind of hotel that lets you live in a short film for a night: warm lighting, great soundtrack, memorable endings (and generous leftovers).
