W Abu Dhabi – Yas Island<\/strong><\/a> is a category 5 hotel in the Marriott Bonvoy program. This means that it costs between 30,000 and 40,000 points.<\/p>\n

For my one-night stay, I used a free night certificate obtained with my Marriott Bonvoy\u2122 American Express®<\/sup> Card.<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The W Abu Dhabi – Yas Island Hotel<\/a><\/strong> is located on the Abu Dhabi Formula 1 Circuit on Yas Island and is only minutes away from Abu Dhabi International Airport.<\/p>\n

It is a prime location if you are making a short stopover in Abu Dhabi<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Forty-eight hours before my arrival, when I checked in, I chatted with the W Abu Dhabi – Yas Island<\/a><\/strong> front desk through the mobile app chat to get an upgrade due to my Marriott Bonvoy status<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The front desk upgraded my booking to a Fantastic Suite<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

I gave my Marriott Bonvoy\u2122 American Express®<\/sup> Card<\/a> as collateral and to pay for my stay there. With the Marriott Bonvoy\u2122 American Express®<\/sup> Card<\/a>, you earn 5 points per dollar<\/strong> for all your spending at Marriott Bonvoy hotels<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
