Baynunah Tower is a 42-storey residential and hotel landmark on Abu Dhabi's Corniche Road, recognisable by its blue-tinted glass facade and one of the tallest residential complexes on the Corniche.

Location on the Corniche
Baynunah Tower stands on Corniche Road in Al Markaziyah West, one of Abu Dhabi's most central districts. The Corniche beachfront is directly opposite, with the city's main commercial, banking and government offices within a kilometre. Abu Dhabi Mall, the World Trade Center souk, and the cluster of high-rise residential towers along Hamdan Street are all within a 10-minute drive.
The building's Corniche frontage gives it direct access to Abu Dhabi's waterfront jogging and cycling track — the Corniche running track that anchors the city's outdoor fitness scene.
Residential Apartments
The tower's residential floors house 2-, 3- and 4-bedroom apartments in furnished and unfurnished configurations, ranging from 240 to 400 square metres. Units are larger than the typical Abu Dhabi 2- or 3-bedroom on the rental market, which is part of what makes Baynunah Tower a long-running destination for families and senior expat households. The tower is professionally managed; tenancies are handled through the building's leasing team rather than through individual landlords.
Hilton Baynunah Hotel
The upper floors of Baynunah Tower operate as the Hilton Baynunah Hotel — 139 deluxe suites available for short, medium, and extended stays. The hotel runs as a separate Hilton-managed property from the main Hilton Abu Dhabi nearby; it's positioned as a serviced-apartment alternative for business travellers and relocating professionals who want hotel services with apartment-scale rooms.

Disambiguation: Two Different "Baynunah" Towers
Two unrelated UAE buildings share the "Baynunah" name. Baynunah Tower in Abu Dhabi (this page) is the Corniche residential-and-hotel tower. Baynounah Tower in Sharjah is a separate residential building in the Al Nahda district of Sharjah — best known online for hosting the Al Rehlah Grocery on its ground floor. The spellings used by Google searchers split along emirate lines: "baynunah" tends to point to Abu Dhabi, "baynounah" to Sharjah. If you arrived here looking for the Sharjah building, the Al Rehlah Grocery page is the one you want.
