Where the 2025 World Champion Will Be Crowned This Sunday
There are many luxury hotels in the world of Formula 1, but only one sits directly on top of a Grand Prix circuit—and on this unforgettable Abu Dhabi weekend, all eyes turn to the one-of-a-kind W Abu Dhabi – Yas Island. As the 2025 season reaches its dramatic finale and a new World Champion is crowned this Sunday, the W becomes the beating heart of the action—thrilling, glamorous, and unapologetically alive.
With 499 ultra-stylish rooms and suites overlooking either the Yas Marina or the world-famous racetrack, the hotel delivers the kind of adrenaline-rich stay that no other property can match. Morning light pours through floor-to-ceiling windows, the sound of engines hums beneath your balcony, and from sunrise treats to sunset rituals, the atmosphere shifts seamlessly from calm indulgence to high-octane excitement.
Inside, the W blends lifestyle luxury with unmistakable F1 energy. Guests can savour global flavours at Garage, Brooklyn Chop House, or Pappas Taverna, refresh with handcrafted beverages at W Lounge, and cool off at the WET Deck or Sun Deck before recharging at the AWAY Spa. For those looking to stay active or unwind, the FIT gym and 3,520 square metres of event space ensure every need is met. Even four-legged companions are welcome—this is a pet-friendly playground for travellers who bring style with them.
Just minutes away, Yas Island’s legendary theme parks offer another rush of adrenaline, balancing the weekend’s glamour with pure adventure. But the hotel remains the centrepiece—the place where every racing fan wants to be when the championship decider rolls into town.
