Miral and Warner Bros. have opened the world’s first Warner Bros. hotel, The WB Abu Dhabi, adjacent to Warner Bros. World Abu Dhabi on Yas Island.
The WB Abu Dhabi is part of the Curio Collection by Hilton. It features a huge collection of Warner Bros. archives, including more than 400 images and props from Warner Bros. films and TV shows.
“This is yet another great moment for us, with The WB Abu Dhabi hotel opening on Yas Island, further positioning it as a top global destination for leisure, entertainment and business,” said HE Mohamed Khalifa Al Mubarak, chairman of Miral.

Before entering the hotel on Yas Island, visitors will spot the iconic fountain from Friends, as well as the new Batmobile from The Batman, releasing in 2022.
The hotel’s lobby features a ‘living archive’ that showcases props such as the cowboy boots worn by James Dean in Giant (1956) and Michael Keaton’s cowl from Batman (1989).
F&B offerings include Craft Services, Sidekicks, The Matinee, The Director’s Club, and The Overlook. Leisure amenities include a Warner Bros. store called the Prop Shop.
