The W Hotel on Yas Island truly has 'uniqueness' embedded in its DNA! As the only hotel in the world built directly on an F1 racetrack, opening your door to the roar of engines and stunning marina views is a dream come true for any motorsport fan 🥳
The rooms feature W's signature trendy and cool style. Floor-to-ceiling windows offer either panoramic racetrack views or a picturesque yacht marina. The mood lighting and spacious wet-area bathrooms are packed with exquisite details. Free WiFi is available throughout, the mini-bar is well-stocked, and the super soft bedding ensures a fantastic sleep.
The rooftop pool is a must-experience! The adult-exclusive Wet Deck offers stunning sunset views, with cocktails and a DJ setting an incredible atmosphere. There's also free access to Yas Beach, where you can find sun loungers and water sports all in one place. The hotel's free shuttle takes you directly to Ferrari World and Warner Bros. World, and Yas Mall is within walking distance, making it super convenient for theme park visits.
Dining was also a hit. Garage restaurant's international food market concept was amazing, and the breakfast had a rich variety, including local specialties. Service was impeccable throughout; the cleaning staff were meticulous and thoughtful, and the concierge was incredibly responsive and professional, answering all questions.
The only minor drawbacks were some noise on race days and the occasional closure of certain restaurants for renovations, limiting options slightly. However, overall, whether you're a couple on vacation or a family with kids, you'll find plenty to enjoy. For anyone visiting Abu Dhabi, this place is a no-brainer – just book it!

Our stay at the W Abu Dhabi - Yas Island was, overall, top-notch and truly a benchmark for trendy luxury hotels. Being here during the F1 season really highlighted the hotel's advantages – our room overlooked the Yas Marina Circuit, so we could clearly see the cars doing test laps without even needing to go to the grandstands. The subtle roar of the engines created an incredibly intense race atmosphere, which was a huge thrill for any motorsports fan.
What was surprisingly good was the soundproofing. Once the windows were closed, you could barely hear the outside roar, and the room remained quiet, perfect for a restful sleep. The half-board package we booked, which included dinner, was also quite good. There was a wide selection of dishes, catering to both international tastes and local specialties, and the service was attentive, prompt, and naturally friendly.
The hotel's environment maintained its usual high standards, boasting a very stylish design. The themed decorations during the holidays were well thought out; the Halloween-specific decor added a playful touch to the common areas without feeling forced. The location is also very convenient. All in all, it was a comfortable stay that met all our expectations.
