Viceroy Hotel Group has been selected as operator of the renowned Yas Hotel on Yas Island in Abu Dhabi, the Emirate’s leading leisure and entertainment destination. The hotel, owned by Aldar Properties, Abu Dhabi’s leading property development, investment and management company, will officially transition to Viceroy management immediately.
The Yas Hotel boasts 499 rooms, with 75 suites, each at 531 square feet and above. The spaces are contemporary, fitted with custom-built pieces of furniture and specially made fabrics. Floor-to-ceiling glass panels are installed throughout the guest accommodations, allowing for superb views of the water in the bedroom and natural light to filter in to the rain showers in the bathroom. Located at the heart of the Yas Marina Circuit, home to the Formula 1 Etihad Airways Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, the Yas Hotel welcomed its first guests for the inaugural race in 2009. At that time, the property unveiled its unique design with LED shroud, programmed to change colors and shades in different parts of the hotel. The property’s amenities include a gym, spa, two rooftop pools, eight international restaurants, two bars and 10 meeting and board rooms. For more information, visit www.viceroyhotelsandresorts.com.
