About Westin Abu Dhabi Golf Resort & Spa
The Westin Abu Dhabi Golf Resort & Spa opened in November 2011 in a revamped Abu Dhabi Golf Resort and is the first Westin property in the city. The hotel is conceptualized as a wellness retreat (under Westin’s signature “six pillars of wellness”), featuring 172 rooms and suites, business centre, spa facilities and 5 dining outlets.
Glass Studio collaborated with hotel’s opening team in designing hotel amenities and buffet items for “Fairways” restaurant. Today we present our designs for hotel’s room amenities.
