Before entering the hotel on Yas Island, visitors will spot the iconic fountain from Friends, as well as the new Batmobile from The Batman, releasing in 2022.

The hotel’s lobby features a ‘living archive’ that showcases props such as the cowboy boots worn by James Dean in Giant (1956) and Michael Keaton’s cowl from Batman (1989).

F&B offerings include Craft Services, Sidekicks, The Matinee, The Director’s Club, and The Overlook. Leisure amenities include a Warner Bros. store called the Prop Shop.
