Capital Centre
About Capital Centre
Capital Centre is developed by the ADNEC Group and is primarily recognized for its commercial footprint in Abu Dhabi. Originally dominated by the ADNEC exhibition grounds and surrounding parking bays, it has been transformed into a thriving district with corporate offices, ministry headquarters, and an array of high-end hotels catering to business and leisure travelers alike.
Properties include hotel-serviced studios and 1-2 bedroom suites, making it more suitable for short stays and business accommodations. Notable hospitality venues include Capital Centre Arjaan by Rotana, Aloft Abu Dhabi, and the luxurious Andaz Capital Gate by Hyatt.
A key highlight is Capital Gate Tower, a 35-storey marvel known as the world's most inclined building. This architectural landmark stands 160 meters tall and covers 170,000 sq. ft., symbolizing innovation and excellence in modern engineering.
Despite its focus on business infrastructure, Capital Centre is supported by well-placed amenities like Carrefour, Zoom, and proximity to healthcare facilities like Zayed Military Hospital and dental clinics. The area’s appeal also lies in its easy access to leisure and dining options, along with its close proximity to major landmarks like Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque.
