Feb. 16, 2024 in Travel & Destinations by Julian Everett
It's been a year since the lavish curtains were drawn at the One&Only One Za'abeel in Dubai, an event that was nothing short of a spectacle, graced by the sensational Jennifer Lopez. The grandeur of the opening set the stage for what has become not just a hotel, but a landmark of luxury and architectural innovation in the heart of one of the world's most dynamic cities.
Designed by the esteemed Japanese firm Nikken Sekkei, One&Only One Za'abeel stands as a beacon of modern engineering and design. The hotel's most striking feature, The Link, is an architectural marvel that defies conventional limits, bridging two skyscrapers with a horizontal skyscraper suspended 100 meters above a bustling highway. This feat of engineering stretches 226 meters, almost mirroring the stature of the skyscrapers it connects.
The interior of The Link is just as impressive, housing gourmet restaurants that have since become the talk of the town for their culinary excellence. But perhaps the most talked-about feature is the rooftop beach club, home to Dubai's longest hanging pool. Floating in this pool, with the city's heartbeat pulsating below, offers a surreal experience, blending the thrill of height with the tranquility of water.
Reflecting on the opening night, Jennifer Lopez's performance was not just entertainment; it was a declaration of the hotel's entry into the world of unparalleled luxury. A year on, the buzz has not faded; instead, it has solidified One&Only One Za'abeel's position as a must-visit destination for those seeking experiences that go beyond the ordinary.
The hotel has lived up to the hype, becoming a favored retreat for celebrities, influencers, and luxury travelers from around the globe. Its unique architectural design, combined with the lavish experiences it offers, continues to captivate and enchant guests.
As we look back on a year since its grand opening, One&Only One Za'abeel remains a symbol of how dreams can take form in steel and glass, inviting all who seek to indulge in the extraordinary. It's a testament to the ever-evolving landscape of luxury travel, where experiences are limited only by the imagination.
