My friend Emily and her husband have invested in a yacht that they will eventually sell. For Emily's birthday, she and Jim hosted a party on the boat, which is moored at Yas Marina, and their slip is adjacent to the Yas Viceroy.
When you arrive at the marina, there are golf carts that take you to the boat's slip. On this particular day, there were just a few boats docked; over the next few months the marina gets busier, especially when people come to visit and watch the Formula 1 race at the beginning of November. The F1 racetrack goes around the hotel and the marina. (If you google F1 and Abu Dhabi, different images and maps will pop up about the race and the track, if you are interested in seeing more.)
The Yas Viceroy is unique in its architecture. By day:

And at night, the skin of outer skin of the hotel lights up. The colors change, with white, blue, purple ... and sometimes the lights are static, and other times they fluctuate and look like they are gently waving across the hotel.
I captured some photos and video, to show you what it looks like.
Sharing piece of Abu Dhabi iconic architecture, and a touch of fun on a weekend afternoon/evening.
Bonus photo: sunset earlier that evening ...
