Accommodation options for the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nThere are three main choices that racegoers opt for when attending the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. The closest would be Yas Island, where the Grand Prix is held, then the wider city of Abu Dhabi and finally, around an hour and a half away by car is Dubai.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In general, the Grand Prix experience in Abu Dhabi and many Middle Eastern countries is very different from in Europe. The only real option by way of accommodation at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix is a hotel. <\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"Yas](\"https:\/\/motorsporttickets.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/1019441258-LAT-20221122-F122T03_112110MP9_4433-1024x683.jpg\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nAirBnb is not as popular and booking an entire apartment will also be difficult; camping is very much not an option. The good news is that between Dubai and Abu Dhabi there is an enormous wealth of options to choose from.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is also important to note that cities like Abu Dhabi were not designed for walking. There is often no safe route to walk between relatively nearby places. Taxis are the main form of transportation, and therefore are not too expensive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Closest hotels to the Yas Marina circuit <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nHere are the three closest hotels to the circuit. Some may already be fully booked for the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, but you can still make a note of them for next year – assuming budget isn\u2019t an issue\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
W Abu Dhabi Yas Island<\/a> *****<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nThe W Abu Dhabi is so close to the circuit that it is actually incorporated in the track. The cars pass directly underneath the hotel itself! Getting to the circuit entrances is a taxi ride of just eight minutes. The Paddock is literally a stone\u2019s throw from the hotel but to access it you need to go all the way round the track, and despite the close proximity it is not possible to walk to the track entrances. <\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"Hotel](\"https:\/\/motorsporttickets.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/1019440915-SUT-20221122-F122T03_052224DSC_0019-1024x683.jpg\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nYas Island Rotana<\/a> ****<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nThe Yas Island Rotana is not far from the W Abu Dhabi. This is about as close as you can get to the track in terms of hotels. Considering walking isn\u2019t really an option in Abu Dhabi, a short taxi ride takes the same as it would from the W Abu Dhabi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Crowne Plaza Abu Dhabi – Yas Island<\/a> ****<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nJust a little further away than Yas Island Rotana, the Crowne Plaza is a short taxi journey away from the Yas Marina circuit. This hotel back onto a golf course for those keen to spend their downtime on the green<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Where to stay on Yas Island<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nThere are many hotels to choose from on the Yas Island itself. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
As mentioned previously, walking is not really an option in Abu Dhabi or Dubai, even if the distance seems relatively short. This is definitely worth bearing in mind when choosing a hotel, as wherever you stay, you will have to take a taxi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Here are some 5, 4 and 3-star hotel options on Yas Island – not including the three closest hotels to the track, which are listed above. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most of Abu Dhabi\u2019s hotels are located in the Corniche Area, the seafront centre of the city with many of its main attractions. It is quite a bit further away from the circuit but hotel prices drop significantly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Near Palm Jebel Ali are several hotel options, ranging from 5-star luxury to well-known budget options including Premier Inn and Holiday Inn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
