Level Lounge

Abu Dhabi


This relaxing poolside rooftop lounge at the Crowne Plaza Abu Dhabi reopened after a full makeover in 2018. New glass partitions and ceilings offer a piece of tower-top calm and cool even in the summer in the middle of the hectic city. It's a good local haunt for shisha and a chat with chill-out music.
