Sofitel Abu Dhabi Corniche, part of Capital Plaza building, is ideally situated in the heart of the city, a stone's throw from the seafront and close to the business and financial center. It enjoys a privileged location on Corniche Road, one of the most prestigious district. The maritime centre Port Zayed, the souk famous for its rugs and Dhow Harbour, home to the traditional transport and fishing boats which still take to the waters of the Arabian Gulf, are all a short distance from the hotel.

From Dubai and airport, follow Sheikh Khalifa highway, cross Yas & Saadiyat Islands to reach Abu Dhabi city centre and Port Zayed. Follow the Corniche Rd sign. Once at the Corniche, drive straight until the U turn option. Drive back and take Al Salaam street direction. Capital Plaza Complex (hotel location) is on your right. Alternatively drive through Abu Dhabi crossing the city on Sheikh Al Maktoum Rd (Airport Rd) until the end following Corniche sign. Once in the Corniche take a right turn.

The bridge recently constructed near Port Zayed links Abu Dhabi to Saadiyat Island, set to be the cultural district, and Yas Island, where the famous Formula 1 Grand Prix races takes place and the new Ferrari World park.
