Hotels for F1 Etihad Airways Abu Dhabi Grand Prix - The House

The championship often gets decided here, on the final Sunday of the year, which gives this race a different kind of tension to anything earlier in the calendar. Practice and qualifying build across the weekend, but it's race day itself that draws the crowds who want to see the title fight settled under floodlights at dusk.

Expect a full entertainment programme running alongside the track action, with concerts and fan zones keeping the atmosphere going well after the chequered flag. For many, this is as much a season-ending party as it is a sporting contest.

Yas Marina Circuit is the Formula 1 season-finale venue, a lap looping around the marina's yachts and threading beneath the illuminated W Hotel bridge on Yas Island. The Abu Dhabi Grand Prix closing weekend is part race, part party, and Yas Island combines Ferrari World, Yas Waterworld and beach clubs with the circuit for a complete destination.

Book directly on the island for walking-distance convenience, or in Abu Dhabi city for more options. Rooms on the island sell out early, so reserve as soon as the calendar is confirmed.
