What we think

Skylark only includes hotels that meet our stamp of approval. Our editorial review for this one isn’t ready yet — but we’re working on it! Below is the hotel’s own description.

Imagine a place that’s the centre of everything. Of culture, of cuisine, of entertainment. Discover a world of captivating duality: where the traditional horizontal resort has been reimagined into a vertical masterpiece. Welcome to One&Only One Za'abeel, our first vertical urban resort. Designed by world-renowned architects Nikken Sekkei, One Za’abeel is a breathtaking work of revolutionary design. Situated in the exclusive Za’abeel neighbourhood, at the confluence of old and new Dubai, One&Only One Za’abeel places you in the beating heart of the world’s most dynamic city. Artfully poised between One Za’abeel’s dual towers is The Link – the world's longest cantilever. A culinary and lifestyle destination in its own right, this boulevard of the future is home to Michelin-rated chefs, a destination bar, exceptional experiences, and a spectacular rooftop infinity pool, enveloped by 360-degree views of Dubai's shimmering skyline.
