One&Only One Za'abeel
A vertical urban resort inside Dubai’s landmark twin towers, One&Only One Za’abeel pairs skyline rooms, destination dining in The Link, two pools and a three-level longevity hub near DIFC.
One&Only One Za’abeel occupies the upper levels of one of Dubai’s most ambitious recent landmarks, a pair of towers connected by The Link, a vast cantilever suspended high above the city. The location sits between DIFC, the World Trade Centre and Downtown, making the hotel unusually central for a resort-style property.
Jean-Michel Gathy’s rooms and suites use sand, blue and brass tones to create a calm contemporary setting around panoramic windows. The best accommodations capitalize on the hotel’s height with wide views toward the Burj Khalifa, Zabeel and the Dubai skyline.
The Link is the property’s defining social and architectural feature. It contains a dense concentration of restaurants and bars, including Nobu and other chef-led concepts, along with Tapasake’s suspended infinity pool high above the city.
Wellness is equally ambitious. A multi-level Longevity Hub by Clinique La Prairie combines advanced diagnostics, treatments, movement and recovery, while a separate family-friendly garden pool gives the hotel a second, more relaxed outdoor setting.
One&Only One Za’abeel is best for travelers who want Dubai’s newest urban spectacle without giving up resort amenities. Its combination of engineering, dining and wellness makes the building itself a major part of the stay.
