W Abu Dhabi - Yas Island
High-octane luxury lifestyle hotel — bold architecture, resident DJs, rooftop pool parties, and the literal roar of racing cars beneath your feet during Grand Prix weekend. More nightclub-meets-racetrack than serene resort.
Book suites directly through Marriott's website to unlock VIP perks: in-room check-in, late check-out until 3PM, and a one-way airport transfer
Why It Matters
The only hotel in the world positioned on top of an F1 racetrack. Also the largest W Hotel globally. Winner of multiple 2024-2025 World Travel Awards including Middle East's Leading Lifestyle Hotel and Middle East's Leading Marina Resort. LEED Gold certified.
The W Abu Dhabi is the world's only hotel literally built on top of a Formula 1 racetrack — straddling the Yas Marina Circuit like a giant glass-and-steel spaceship. By day the futuristic structure is striking enough; by night its LED shell pulses in synchronized light shows across the water. Inside, 499 rooms and suites offer views of either the F1 track or Yas Marina, and the design — refreshed in 2019 around a 'Mirage' concept drawing on Bedouin heritage and Abu Dhabi's desert contrasts — keeps up with the exterior spectacle.
