W Abu Dhabi – Yas Island is the world’s only hotel built directly above a Formula 1 circuit, with views that sweep from Yas Marina to the track itself; it’s also an instantly recognisable city landmark thanks to its futuristic grid-shell canopy, which glows in a rainbow of colors at night thanks to more than 5,000 LED lights. Roaring cars can be heard throughout due to year-round race-related activities at Yas Circuit, and for fans of all things flash, the super yachts docked at Yas Marina make a great backdrop. Its well-soundproofed rooms are decorated in black, white, or chrome, with sleek, curved, and modern furnishings. Foodwise, Garage is the main draw, a multi-kitchen dining space where five distinct concepts serve everything from Asian bites to mezze and grilled meats, all under one roof. For a classic cut, Brooklyn Chop House delivers steaks alongside bold Asian-inspired dishes, while Pappas Taverna leans Mediterranean with mezze, seafood, and a breezy, island-style interior. Yas Island is only 20 minutes from Abu Dhabi’s downtown, and harbors some of the emirate’s top family attractions, including Ferrari World, Warner Bros. World Abu Dhabi, and Yas Waterworld—all just steps or short taxi rides from the W.
