Glo, Rooftop bar and restaurant at Rosewood Hotel in Al Maryah Island, United Arab Emirates
Glo is a rooftop restaurant and terrace located on the third floor of the Rosewood Abu Dhabi, overlooking the city's waterfront and contemporary skyline from Al Maryah Island. The space merges an open-air dining area with a pool zone, creating a spacious environment for guests to eat and unwind.
The venue opened in 2013 as part of the Rosewood Abu Dhabi hotel and represented a turning point in the development of Al Maryah Island. This opening coincided with the broader transformation of the area into a modern business and entertainment hub.
The space draws on regional design influences, with palm trees creating a natural focal point in the outdoor area and shaping how guests experience the evening hours. These elements blend local aesthetics with contemporary comfort in a way that feels organic to the setting.
The venue serves food from midday onward, with extended hours on weekends, and guests have access to the pool area throughout their visit. Booking in advance is wise, especially on weekends, and coming in the evening offers the best views of the city lights.
A saxophonist performs here every Tuesday evening, creating a live music backdrop for diners. This weekly performance has made the place a draw for those seeking to combine dining with musical entertainment.
