As you pull up to the courtyard of 25hours Hotel One Central, you can sense that this place is just a bit different. There’s the bright crimson exterior of Cinema Akil that broadcasts the world’s best independent films in Dubai’s cooler months, a giant rocket car taking off and an irresistible buzz that wraps itself around you the moment you step out of your car.
Blending Bedouin traditions with the luxury amenities of modern life, it is here you are welcome to be whoever you want and do as you please. Whether you are visiting for the day or staying for longer, the hotel encourages you to ‘Come As You Are’ and explore the plethora of exciting and quirky activities that await around every corner. A favourite hangout of remote workers and the city’s cool cats, the property’s fusion of art, comfort and individuality means there really is something for everyone to enjoy.
Each of the hotel’s 434 rooms and suites offer an individual design, reflecting the diverse personality of Dubai, while incorporating playful and functional elements. Take the hotel’s Artist Village Suite for example. It is an eclectic mix of colour, retro gadgets and vintage designs that you don’t know that you need until you have them, combined with functional amenities like a Schindelhauer bicycle that allows you to check out the local area at your own pace.
A cool and charming courtyard takes pride of place in the centre of the hotel. It is here where you find the Nomad Day Bar, curated by award-winning Nightjar Coffee. Tempt yourself to aromatic coffee and a light bite as you indulge in a spot of people watching. Or if you prefer a more casual environment, take your place at the Bavarian-inspired Ernst Biergarten and delve into German classics like house-baked pretzels and an array of schnitzels while savouring a stein glass of German beer. For an evening of exquisite cocktails, superb Nikkei cuisine and mesmerising city views, head to the rooftop venue of Monkey Bar. Perfect for post-work drinks or a lively night out on the town, grab your seat and enjoy melodic beats from the DJ as you cast your eyes on world’s most beautiful building, the Museum of the Future.
For those seeking wellness and rejuvenation, the hotel boasts a state-of-the-art fitness centre and Dubai’s first mixed sauna. The Extra Hour Spa offers a mix of treatments, designed to soothe the mind and refresh the body. Place yourself in the hands of expert therapists at this haven of tranquillity and you will be guided on a journey of rejuvenation with a bespoke spa session, tailored for your needs.
The true beauty of 25hours Hotel One Central, however, is that it is willing to stray from the normal. In the lobby, you will find a colossal fountain of 5,000 books which you can borrow for daily reading, or if you are feeling nostalgic, wander over to The Analogue Circus, where you can listen to more than 500 vinyl records, burn your favourite tunes onto a CD or have a go at some arcade games.
Vibrant, exciting and welcoming, discover you are almost home with 25hours Hotel One Central.
