A striking, angular hotel built directly above a section of the Yas Marina Circuit — genuinely one of the most unusual hotel locations in motorsport.
The hotel's most talked-about feature is architectural: part of the building spans directly over the racetrack, and select rooms offer views straight down onto the circuit — a genuine novelty during Grand Prix weekend and a striking detail the rest of the year.
Beyond the track-side gimmick, W's design-led interiors and lively bar scene make it a popular pick for younger travellers and groups, not just motorsport fans.
