We recently did a blog about the amazing Yaz Hotel. It has finally opened its doors to the world on October 30, 2009. The Yas has bragging rights of being the largest LED Project in the World which is controlled though a RDM (remote device management) system. Timed to launch alongside the inaugural 2009 Formula 1 Etihad Airways  Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, the hotel is located at the heart of all the racing action.

The Yas Hotel was built by Aldar Properties and designed by the amazing Asymptote Architecture. The hotel is rated 5- stars and boast 500 rooms with 279,000 square feet of amazingness! The outer shell of the Yas is like an exoskeleton which has more than 5,300 diamond-shaped steel panels, and has up to 5000 RGBW LED fixtures.

New York based-lighting design firm Arup Lighting has used a lighting device by ‘e:cue lighting control’ to generate effects through changing colors and pre-defined 3D low-resolution video content atop the grid-shell. The hotel has a vehicle to run on a passing bridge to commute between the two hotel winds even when the F1 races are on.

The Hotel is sited on land and water celebrating both the raceway circuit as well as the Yas Marina. The Yas Hotel will be a key feature of the upcoming grand finale to the Formula One circuit for 2009 on November 1 and seen by over 600 million viewers world wide during the race day coverage.
