This hotel is constructed from two twelve-story towers - one in the middle of the track and one in the marina with a spidery structure (grid shell) linking them.
There are two rooftop swimming pools. In addition, there is an enormous roof with thousands of sparkling, ever-changing LED lights to delight you. For dinner, you can choose from a vast array of 7 restaurants.
The unique hotel is built over the Yas Marina F1 Circuit, which hosts the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix™, so the hotel is Formula 1® crazy once a year!
In one of the top racetracks in the world, cars routinely reach top speeds of 200 mph (320 km/h). The 200 feet (60 meters) tall “Sun Tower” is solar-powered and rotates, giving you the best view of the action on the track below.
You can swim in the rooftop pool of W Abu Dhabi – Yas Island before heading down to the track to test drive the most exotic and exciting cars in existence. Forget your butler, as the two presidential suites have kitchens and top chefs.
The five-star hotel W Abu Dhabi – Yas Island (formerly Yas Viceroy hotel) has been one of the biggest eye-catchers of the Yas Marina island since its opening in November 2009.
Yas Island, where the Yas Viceroy is built, is also called the Monaco of the Middle East. The striking hotel is built around a marina, partly on the water and partly on land.
The 499-room hotel consists of two hotel buildings, each with 12 floors, which are connected by a beautifully designed iron framework and a glass walkway.
This framework consists of 5096 diamond-shaped glass panels, which are white during the day, but as soon as the sun has set, the lamps are switched on, and the facade regularly changes color, offering a spectacular sight.
The W Abu Dhabi - Yas Island is perhaps Abu Dhabi's most famous hotel, thanks to its bold design and location.
The hotel is less than a 13-minute drive from Abu Dhabi International Airport, and within 15 minutes you are in the center of Abu Dhabi, where you can visit the stunning Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque.
The luxury hotel offers eleven different dining options and lounges where you can enjoy dishes from all over the world, including Mediterranean, Italian, Japanese Teppanyaki, and Southeast Asian specialties.
The hotel has its own spa, which is designed as a traditional hammam.
In most rooms, the balcony offers a great view - so choose wisely if you plan to book one during the F1® race!
The strikingly bold bed design is shaped like an automobile. Coincidence? I don't think so!
On the roof you will find two swimming pools with a beautiful view of the surroundings, especially during the sunset.
In addition, guests of the hotel can enjoy the Yas Beach Club, where you will find a swimming pool, bar, and dining facility. Guests of the hotel are free to use the beach club and the shuttle service that takes you from the hotel to the beach club.
The super-de-luxe hotel is located in the middle of the Yas Marina Circuit, where the annual Formula 1® Grand Prix™ is held. One of the bends of the circuit even runs under the hotel, which is a mind-blowing sight you can see during the Formula 1® race in November.
