About this hotel
Fans basing themselves here for the race weekend will appreciate the Aloft by Marriott Abu Dhabi's practical location. While not directly on Yas Island, its proximity to major transport links and the ADNEC exhibition center means getting to the circuit is manageable, especially with a taxi or ride-share. The free parking is a significant advantage for those driving in, allowing for easy arrival and departure without the usual race-day hassle of finding a spot. The hotel's modern rooms provide a comfortable retreat after a day at the track, and the rooftop bar offers a relaxed setting to unwind and discuss the day's action. Families will find the kid-friendly amenities and outdoor pool a welcome bonus, providing entertainment away from the circuit.

Our take
The Aloft by Marriott Abu Dhabi is a smart choice for fans prioritizing convenience and value during a race weekend. Its free parking and pet-friendly policy cater well to those traveling with their own vehicle or companions. While not within walking distance of the Yas Marina Circuit, its accessibility to transport makes it a viable option. Groups seeking a lively atmosphere with on-site dining and a rooftop bar will find it appealing. However, those looking for direct circuit access or a luxury experience right on Yas Island might prefer other options.
- ✓Book your stay well in advance, especially if you plan to use the free parking, as spaces can fill up quickly during major race events.
- ✓Utilize ride-sharing apps or taxis for quick transfers to Yas Marina Circuit on race days to avoid traffic and parking queues.
- ✓Consider the hotel's dining options and rooftop bar for evening meals and drinks, as local restaurants might be crowded during the Grand Prix.
- ✓If you're bringing a pet, confirm the specific pet policy and any associated fees directly with the hotel when booking.
