Where to stay at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix™
In this guide I’ll help you choose the best place to stay during your trip to the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix™
The majority of visitors to the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix™ will choose to stay in either Abu Dhabi or on Yas Island. For many the deciding factor will be price but you’ll also have a greater choice of hotels if you stay downtown.
Downtown Abu Dhabi has the largest concentration of hotels ranging from mid range chain hotels like Rotana, Mercure and Crowne Plaza to top end properties like the opulent Emirates Palace.
About twenty minutes drive from Yas Island, in the area around the Grand Mosque, you’ll also find a good selection of hotels including the Aloft, Andaz Capital Gate, Fairmont, Ritz Carlton and Shangri-la which are often favoured by F1 teams.
If you’ve seen the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix™ on TV, you’ve seen one of the iconic F1™ landmarks. The stunning Yas Hotel features a sparkling grid shell structure and glass bridge, which crosses directly over the circuit. Here guests have the enviable opportunity to stay at the circuit complex, where they can soak up the race atmosphere for the duration of Grand Prix™ weekend.
However, it should be noted that the Yas Hotel can be incredibly noisy at night due to the yacht parties in the Marina.
You may want to consider staying just over the road on Yas Plaza. Here you’ll find a selection of three and four star hotels only a few minutes walk from the Yas Marina Circuit.
Very few Grand Prix™ circuits have so many hotel rooms in such close proximity. Staying on Yas Island, you can leave your hotel and be seated in the West and Marina Grandstands in under ten minutes and in the North, South and Main Grandstands in under thirty minutes. Taxis and transfers are simply not necessary.
