Abu Dhabi Golf Resort


This is one of the solutions to reduce the global warming by using the clean energy. It is another type of cool cities in Abu Dhabi. It has 148-room Westin Hotel, Golf & Spa – the first property in Abu Dhabi city.

The style of this building include wellness style, the hotel will feature stunning minimalist interiors forged from natural stone, petrified and reclaimed wood and dotted with cooling water features. The hotel will have many indoor and outdoor features. Some of the outdoor features are a European-style lobby level cafĂ©, a Mediterranean-inspired all-day dining restaurant, English-style ‘spike’ lounge, a private dining room and a Moroccan-themed specialty restaurant, complete with tranquil pools and landscaping. Also, there are many features inside it such as spacious gymnasium, climbing wall, two squash courts and a tennis academy and a human-inspired spa with nine treatment rooms. Also, It provides many things such as it contains the sport’s foremost luxury brand, which manages almost 200 clubs worldwide.

From what I read about this project, I don’t think there is enough information or description for the facilities that benefit the environment. Many things can be added to the project which help to reduce global warming and at the same time give us high standers of living. They can use eco-friendly transportation, or use low emitting materials for constructions.

In conclusion, I think that Abu Dhabi Golf resort is a poor example of a sustainable environmental project, which will not benefit the environment that much and it will not reduce the global warming. In my opinion, this project deserve a “ D” .
