One&Only One Za’abeel in Dubai, United Arab Emirates (UAE), the first-ever vertical urban resort from ultra-luxury hospitality brand, is now accepting reservations.

The property, which is scheduled to open on December 1, 2023, rises above the city’s exclusive Za’abeel neighborhood. It is housed in the One Za’abeel development by acclaimed architects Nikken Sekkei. A bold new vision of architectural innovation, One Za’abeel’s dual skyscrapers are intersected by the world’s longest cantilever, The Link – a futuristic boulevard floating 100 meters above the street.

“Kerzner International has always challenged conventions – and our first One&Only Urban Resort is no exception. One&Only One Za’abeel redefines what it means to provide ultra-luxury hospitality in the heart of a city,” says Philippe Zuber, chief executive officer, Kerzner International. “Our Urban Resorts have all the elements of One&Only’s DNA – life and energy, space and privacy, curated experiences and exceptional service – translated to a dynamic urban setting. Found in the most inspiring destinations on Earth, each One&Only resort is an exceptional one-off, celebrating the unique charisma of its location. Perpetually altering Dubai’s skyline, One Za’abeel is a landmark architectural development not just for the UAE, but for the world – and we’re thrilled to introduce our first Urban Resort in such a spectacular setting.”

Highlights of One&Only One Za’abeel include:

• Rooms, suites, and Villa One penthouse that are among the largest in Dubai. Designed by Jean-Michel Gathy, the interiors take their cue from the Za’abeel location. A one-of-a-kind collection of corner suites, which is a first for One&Only, feature exceptional amenities: the Grand Panoramic Suite offer 180-degree views of Dubai’s ever-evolving skyline; the Sanctuary Suites include a massage table, meditation and stretching zone, exercise equipment and in-room spa treatments; and the Creative Suites feature acoustic panelling and the latest AV technology.

It’s also home to an all-day dining restaurant, immersive experiences, and nightlife venue Sphere.
