Experience new heights in hospitality at One&Only One Za’abeel

High above Dubai, standout suites and a singular villa at One&Only One Za’abeel show how a skyscraping address can be tailored to different travellers’ needs – from executives and creatives to those seeking total retreat.

Villa one

One of One

One&Only One Za’abeel, Villa One is a penthouse by Jean-Michel Gathy that unfolds across two expansive storeys. On the 53rd floor, a private black-marble infinity pool floats above the city, looking out at Dubai’s ever-shifting skyline. Inside, a gym, cinema and study lend the feel of a luxuriously well-appointed home away from home. A dedicated host curates every detail – from personal training sessions to spa treatments – while bespoke dining and a complimentary Longevity Index Assessment by Clinique La Prairie complete the one-of-a-kind experience.

Adaptable living: Designed to feel residential and inviting, Villa One has three separate living spaces and flexible adjoining rooms. This allows the two-bedroom penthouse to expand into a private retreat for up to 12 guests.

Urban Suite

Designed for business

Executive travel is elevated to a new level in the Urban Suite. A dedicated boardroom table with integrated presentation tech comfortably hosts up to 10 delegates, making it a complete satellite base between appointments. When the day winds down, the king-size bedroom and spa-like bathroom offer a clean break from business. An express pressing service ensures that your outfit is ready for the next engagement, while the hotel’s prime location near Dubai International Financial Centre, Downtown Dubai and the World Trade Centre keeps the best of the city within easy reach.

Urban Suite
Added access: From pre-dinner drinks at The Link to the N53 club, Urban Suite guests enjoy additional access to discreet settings for informal meetings, breakout conversations and social engagements.

Creative Suite

Inspired setting

Designed for collaboration, One&Only One Za’abeel’s Creative Suite is tuned for ideas and expression. Acoustic wall panelling tempers the space while Klipsch speakers and a vast central screen turn the living room into a private cinema – popcorn comes with cocktails from the well-stocked bar. A dedicated AV cabinet contains professional-grade equipment and a standalone sound system allows guests to plug in DJ decks or record on the fly. This corner suite is built for producers, editors and artists who prefer their creative sessions amplified.

Taking shape: The Creative Suite balances an expansive space for group discussions with quiet corners for solitary focus – ideal for generating ideas and inspiration.

Sanctuary Suite

Rest Assured

Those looking for restoration rather than routine will find it in One&Only One Za’abeel’s wellness-focused Sanctuary Suite. A private treatment area, in-suite gym equipment and stretching space provides an essential moment to reset, with Dubai’s dramatic skyline as an inspiring backdrop. Guests also receive a complimentary Longevity Index Assessment – a data-led snapshot of biological age and vitality – alongside tailored treatments, delivered both in-suite and at the Longevity Hub, shaping wellbeing with precision.

Sanctuary guests receive two complementary 60-minute wellbeing treatments, delivered in-suite for uninterrupted rest and recovery.

N53

A space to connect

Located on the 53rd floor, One&Only One Za’abeel’s N53 social hub offers moments of privileged access for villa and suite guests. Breakfast is a private affair, reserved for those staying at the top and served early with uninterrupted skyline views. From midday, the mood shifts towards an executive lounge, opening to a wider crowd while retaining its edge. As daylight fades, the discreet Cigar Lounge comes into its own, pairing a selection of 90 premium cigars with fine spirits via the dedicated infusion programme.

Cigar Lounge
After dark: N53’s Cigar Lounge plays host to one of Dubai’s most impressive spirit collections, centring on rare bottles of Hibiki, Yamazaki, Macallan and more.

Dining

Top tables

One&Only One Za’abeel anchors one of Dubai’s most ambitious dining destinations. Suspended 100 metres above the street, The Link – the world’s longest cantilever – connects Michelin-starred restaurants with a food hall showcasing 12 homegrown concepts. The new Nobu One Za’abeel adds a globally acclaimed sense of theatre to The Link, combining Japanese and Peruvian flavours in a stylish and atmospheric design-first setting.

Restaurant at One&Only Za' abeel
Destination dining: The cuisine mixes Japanese, Mediterranean and French influences, all shaped by a range of internationally renowned chefs.

For every stay, One&Only One Za’abeel becomes a stage defined by its guests. oneandonlyresorts.com/one-zaabeel
