The building’s exterior resembles a magnificent slide - one look at it will leave you tilting your head. A 35-storey skyscraper with an 18-degree westward lean – four times that of Italy’s famous Leaning Tower of Pisa, the Capital Gate has been rightfully dubbed the “World’s Furthest Leaning Manmade Tower” by the Guinness World Records. The structure of the 160m-tall tower utilizes advanced diagrid technology and a two-layer design, with over 13,000 tons of steel serving as its sturdy core and foundation. Glass and steel panels form the aesthetic 23,000m² façade of the building, spiraling upwards in extraordinary fashion.

Enough of the fun facts, technicalities and numbers. What exactly can you do at Capital Gate? Other than taking postcard photos with the iconic tower for your social media feed, the commercial building also hosts the Hyatt Capital Gate Abu Dhabi, a premium 5-star hotel with spacious rooms that overlook the city of Abu Dhabi and the Gulf. You can expect breathtaking views, top-notch services, high quality amenities, and an excellent level of comfort during your stay. The location also provides an added convenience, as it is only 20 minutes away from the airport and easily accessible to many other attractions such as Ferrari World, Corniche and the Grand Mosque.
