Yas Viceroy is a metaphorical proof of architectural heritage that can be pioneered in contemporary times. It also becomes the ultimate destination for UAE’s capital with F1 in your backyard. The intimidating structure welcomes you to a dream UAE represents, with a young airbrush stroke that can transform your lifestyle.



Imagine waking up to the rush of speed that can instantly transform your mundane life into a day that feels like driving a McLaren with Chris Goodwin. You can safely skip watching Top Gear and drive a few laps around the circuit with your beast machine while your fans/family watch you from the comfort of their rooms.



Located on Yas Island, the contemporary design and location of the electrifying space makes it an essential lifestyle need based on the love for speed, architecture and zest for life.



Sure it’s for those who live life on the fast (F1) track, but it’s also for those introverts who are stimulated by the brewing capacity of their surroundings.



With rooms opening up on the Yas Marina Circuit or F1 Grand Prix track, Yas Viceroy ensures your stay is nothing less than stimulating, over the edge and a constant reminder of life’s prosperity.



Designed to impress, Yas Viceroy has become the definition of a modern oasis that opens up to Yas Marina Circuit — the favored racetrack for Formula 1 legends.



Asymptote Architecture worked with designers Jestico + Whiles and Richardson Sadeki to create the monumental space.



The 219-meter of steel and 5,096 diamond shaped glass panels offer an optical effect that drapes over the two hotel towers that are joined by a bridge that crosses the Yas Marina Circuit.



At night the white beauty reflects changing lights from scarlet to indigo.



With 499 rooms and suites that transmit a synergy and aesthetics of a sailing ship, the hotel ensures the latest modern amenities and technology.



It includes one grand ballroom, ten meeting and boardrooms, spa, two rooftop pools and 12 food and beverage outlets.



Of course as you go up the hierarchy of luxury rooms, the presidential suites offer more than the exemplary. With original contemporary artwork, furnishings from MoMA, private lap pool on the large terrace, private lift and custom-made beds, the suite is built to spoil your habitual weekends.



The Lobby utilizes a modern interpretation of the Arabian Mashrabiya, is usually busy and has built a library to segregate the masses from the buzzing activity.



You can easily witness close by attractions including Yas Waterworld, Ferrari World Abu Dhabi, Yas Links Golf Course, Yas Marina Circuit, Yas Marina and Yas Beach.



With presence in Abu Dhabi, Anguilla, Beverly Hills, Maldives, Miami, New York, Palm Springs, Riviera Maya, San Francisco, Santa Monica, Snowmass, St. Lucia and Zihuatanejo, their future included openings in Istanbul, Turkey and The Palm, Dubai.



Yas pride themselves in being ‘an iconic destination for the young at heart seeking rich and vibrant experiences’ but that is not the complete true. The experience lives on; in fact you cultivate passion for the vibrant nature as you grow. So perhaps the iconic destination is for developing and perspicacious minds alike. The super rich kids might disrupt the view but the sea of yachts can’t hurt. Beautiful people are dreamlike and a view to kill for can add to your subjective version of utopia that is just a step away. At Yas, you have reached a destination that warrants appreciation, lust and love for life.
