What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Also in Condé Nast Traveler, The 50 Discovery and AFAR.
the winningly irreverent 25hours brand has arrived in Dubai, and while its details are tailored to its location, its approach hasn’t changed a bit — this hotel, in all its eclectic charm, is quite a departure
“Locals mingle with visitors while taking advantage of coworking spaces at 25Hours Hotel Dubai One Central, gym memberships at the wellness-centric SIRO One Za’abeel, or the Yacht Club at Bulgari Dubai.”
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
The Dubai World Trade Centre sits right next door, and the calligraphy-wrapped Museum of the Future is a short walk away.
The rooms
Farmstay rooms hang hammocks across colorful living areas, while Bedouin quarters use warm majlis tones and open glass showers.
The rooftop pool
Bring a swimsuit.
Cushioned beanbag loungers sit beneath fabric canopies beside the heated sixth-floor pool, which glows against the night skyline.
The gym and sauna
A curved wooden sauna sits among rooftop greenery, and the gym opens folding glass doors to an outdoor training terrace.
Dogs stay too.
Monkey Bar
Birdcage booths sit among dense foliage on the terrace, where nightly DJs play beside a long green-tiled bar.
In the lobby, centered around a 5,000-book fountain library with a rotating globe showcasing works by local artists, you’ll spot everything from kanduras and suits to snapbacks and summer dresses—embodying the brand’s inclusivity.
At the table
Nomad pours Nightjar cold brew on tap, and ERNST brings Bavarian pretzels and German draughts to wooden tavern tables.
How it began
Each floor charts a distinct chapter of Emirati history, tracing local lore from nomadic Bedouin traditions all the way to Mars.
