Our take
Novotel Al Bustan stands out on volume and quality: 9.4 from 20,946 guests, a rare combination. I recommend it to Grand Prix fans who drive and want modern rooms, an infinity pool, a spa and good restaurants without paying for a Yas Island address. Free parking helps, but plan the drive to Yas Marina on race days rather than expecting to walk.
- ✓Book your stay well in advance, especially for major race weekends, as rooms with free parking and spa access are highly sought after.
- ✓Utilize the hotel's transport links to plan your journey to and from Yas Marina Circuit on race day to avoid traffic congestion.
- ✓Consider dining at the hotel's high-end restaurant or bar after the race for a relaxed evening, avoiding the post-race crowds at the circuit.
Why we love it
- Free parking simplifies race-day logistics.
- Infinity pool and spa for post-race relaxation.
- High-end dining options on-site.
- Kid-friendly facilities for families.
Why guests love itNovotel Abu Dhabi Al Bustan is a 4-star hotel rated 9.4 across 20,946 reviews, the largest review count I have seen for an Abu Dhabi Grand Prix base. For families, the infinity pool is the obvious draw between sessions, and the spa and wellness centre give parents a break. Modern rooms, free parking and good transport links make it practical for a car-based race weekend. It is not on Yas Island, so allow time to drive to the circuit.
