The hotel has been rebranded to Conrad Abu Dhabi Etihad Towers which opened doors in Tower 1 on October 1, 2020.[9] The adjacent Tower 2 is (as of January 2023) the fourth tallest in Abu Dhabi. Tower 2 has an observation deck named "Observation Deck at 300" on the 75th floor which is accessible from the hotel via a lower level linking podium.[10]
