Aldar Properties has appointed Marriott International to manage one of its most strategically located hotels on Yas Island overlooking the Formula 1 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix racetrack.
In a statement on Wednesday, Aldar said Marriott International will assume operation of the Yas Island hotel with effective from July 1 and the hotel will go through a refurbishment period before opening under W Hotels — marking the debut of the brand in Abu Dhabi.
