Abu Dhabi hotels record Dhs611m in revenue in March
Abu Dhabi's hospitality sector continues to show robust growth, with hotel establishments across the emirate generating revenues of Dhs611 million in March 2025, according to preliminary data released by the Department of Culture and Tourism - Abu Dhabi (DCT Abu Dhabi), in coordination with the Statistics Centre - Abu Dhabi (SCAD). The total revenue breakdown comprises Dhs345 million from room bookings, Dhs228 million from food and beverage services, and Dhs38 million from other sources. The emirate welcomed approximately 417,000 hotel guests during March, highlighting Abu Dhabi's growing appeal as a global tourist destination. The surge is attributed to the emirate's diverse accommodation offerings and high-quality hospitality services. A total of 171 hotel establishments, comprising 34,341 rooms, operated across Abu Dhabi in March. These properties recorded over 1.2 million guest nights, achieving an average occupancy rate of 69 per cent. The average revenue per available room (RevPAR) stood at AED486. Non-Arab Asian nationals topped the list of international visitors, accounting for 152,000 hotel guests. European travellers followed with 123,000 guests, while UAE nationals accounted for 58,000 stays. These figures underline Abu Dhabi's sustained tourism growth and its strengthening position as a preferred destination for a wide range of global markets. Five-star hotels hosted the highest number of guests, totalling 205,000 in March. European visitors made up the largest segment within this category, with 78,000 guests. Four-star hotels received 119,000 guests, followed by three-star and below hotels with 54,000 guests. Additionally, serviced apartments accommodated 38,000 visitors. The strong performance aligns with Abu Dhabi's Tourism Strategy 2030, which aims to attract 39.3 million visitors annually, generate 178,000 new jobs in the tourism sector, expand hotel capacity to 50,000 rooms, and increase the sector's contribution to the emirate's GDP to Dhs90 billion by the end of the decade.

Dinner by Heston Blumenthal gives its Sunday roast an upgrade
The elegant Sunday roast at the city's best European restaurant, Dinner by Heston Blumenthal Dubai, has been revamped. It was elevated under the leadership of the new chef de cuisine, Chris Malone. So, what's new? For starters, the menu. The roast now comes in a two-course format as well. You can choose between a starter and main, or a main and dessert (perfect if you've been eyeing that Bakewell tart). Thoroughly famished? The three-course option is very much on the table. Running from noon to 3pm, every Sunday, you can tuck into the two-course roast for Dhs345 or the three-course roast for Dhs395. Little ones, too, get their own menu. It's Dhs195 for children. What's on the plate? A quintessentially British roast, just with a bit of Heston magic. There's Black Angus sirloin, slow-cooked until it falls apart on the slightest touch, served with horseradish cream, rich beef gravy and a Yorkshire pud stuffed with braised ox cheek. If you want to keep things light, you can opt for the roast chicken, which comes with morel mushrooms, brioche and the sort of bread sauce that might make you rethink your loyalties. But what's a Sunday roast without potatoes? Don't miss out on savouring 'The Roastie', a Heston's signature. It's golden crisp on the outside, light and fluffy inside. The sort of spuds you'll talk about how to recreate for your next dinner at home. If you have room for dessert (we're impressed), you'll be choosing from the raspberry trifle, a Bakewell tart, or a reimagined chocolate bar. The familiar favourites still come with the usual Heston spin that you won't be able to stop Instagramming about. The iconic Nitrogen Ice Cream trolley is still there for that added drama. Drinks-wise, you're in excellent hands. The globally sourced grape list is one of the most extensive in the city, curated by Gault&Millau's 'Best Sommelier of the Year', Arturo Scamardella. If that doesn't float your boat, then the lively mixed drinks bar is more than ready to mix up something special with its playful range of infusions. Inspired by 15th-century British cuisine, this is a classic roast reimagined for the modern day. And it is one you need to try, whether you're looking for a spot to spend meaningful time with the family or trying to impress your date with your superior foodie skills. Time to get booking:

Named The Metamorphosis Brunch, you can expect modern Japanese food served afresh every course at Dragonfly.

Start with beef tartare with plantain crisps and furikake, then move on to black cod donburi with miso butter. Crispy rock shrimp tempura and delicate salmon tataki make an appearance too, along with truffle-infused mushroom croquettes that'll have you going back for more. For dessert, tuck into a salted caramel gelato and enjoy the kind of ending that makes you linger over every bite. Of course, brunch isn't brunch without a drink. Free-flowing Asian-inspired mixes are on the menu, along with a selection of premium sips if you're in the mood to level up. As the afternoon unfolds, so does the energy. The resident DJ keeps the tempo just right, while signature animation dancers bring an extra spark to the setting. The whole experience flows, much like the drinks.
