Lead architects for the project are Hani Rashid and Lise Anne Couture, founders and principals of Asymptote Architecture.
The hotel features a gridshell structure, that incorporates a striking veil of steel and glass featuring programmed lighting and image sequences, which fuse the two sections that span both the circuit and the marina. A bridge stretches between the Main building and the Marina Tower, enclosing a bar and restaurant with executive level bridge that will house a rotating exhibition of contemporary artwork by Emirati and GCC artists.
The Yas Hotel features 252 deluxe and 247 executive rooms and suites all with exceptional views that use innovative materials selected to ensure the design is both progressive and comfortable.
