25hours Hotel One Central opens doors in Dubai

The first ever 25hours Hotel in the Middle East has opened its doors, overlooking the stunning Museum of the Future and just a stone’s throw away from Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC).

Relaxed, fun and packed full of things to do; guests of 25hours Hotel One Central will experience ancient traditions of the Bedouins brought back to a modern life.

Boasting 434 rooms and suites, 25hours Hotel One Central seamlessly blends nomadic yet contemporary design, masterminded by world renowned interior design firm, Woods Bagot.

Christoph Hoffman, CEO 25hours said: “We are thrilled to be finally opening doors to the 25hours Hotel One Central playground and welcoming the local community and travelers from all across the globe. All our experiences and offerings have been carefully curated to make this property truly multi-dimensional – a living room, a party paradise, a romantic getaway or simply the go to destination for creative business meetings and co-working.

“This is one of the most exciting projects I have worked on, and me along with our incredible team are looking forward to paving the way for a new hospitality experience standard in Dubai.”

The urban tale starts in the 25hours Hotel One Central lobby where guests will be greeted by the ‘Fountain of Tales’, a colossal fountain with seating spaces and bookshelves featuring over 5,000 books and a rotating lit up globe showcasing artwork created by a number of local artists.

The lobby also adorns a ceiling covered by a stunning piece of art – ‘Under the Same Sky’ by Dominik Bulka – inspired by the constellations in the sky and interpreting them from a humorous, light-hearted point of view.  

All rooms and suites at the property serve as a relaxing oasis for urban nomads after a long day exploring the city. Room themes include Bedouin Room drawing on influences of when Bedouins once resided in Dubai, Glamping Room inspired by urban nomads and perfect for couples or special occasions, Farmstay Suite ideal for those looking for something super spacious and the Artist Village Suite which is an extra-large suite made for those looking to impress.

The jewel in the crown is the Hakawati Suite. Featuring a unique Sheikh ‘triple-king’ sized bed and eye-catching views of The Museum of The Future, the room also boasts a double bathtub, dancefloor, private bar, private terrace, photo booth and much more. The room interconnects with 2 additional bedrooms through a secret staircase.

For diners, the Nomad Day Bar, in partnership with Dubai-based Nightjar Coffee Roasters, Tandoor Tina for playfully combined British and Northern Indian cuisine, and super popular Berlin rooftop bar, Monkey Bar completes opening line-up with the soon to open Ernst – a traditional Bavarian biergarten & wirtshaus.

25hours Hotel One Central boasts an unconventional mix of contemporary services, leaving everyone who walks through the doors with a story to tell.

A fully kitted co-working space, meeting rooms, event spaces, open pantry and coffee bar are available at The Gallery on the first floor. The open plan space features plenty of modern tech, 5-meter high ceilings and huge windows so guests can enjoy the breath-taking views while they work hard…or hardly work.

The hotel’s “Analogue Upgrade” will give guests the opportunity to throwback and reminisce over simpler times. Delivered in a large trunk-case to bedrooms, the unique experience includes VHS to vinyl, typewriters to Polaroids – encouraging guests to take a break from today’s digital world and stimulate all senses.
 
Cycling enthusiasts can look forward to complimentary Schindelhauer Bikes available from the lobby or in all Artist Village suites. The urban speedsters can be taken on a spin around the local neighborhood and parklands. For those who fancy heading further afield, they can also explore the area with a free test drive on four wheels thanks to the partnership with MINI.

To celebrate the launch, 25hours Hotel One Central is offering guests 25 per cent off the best available room rate (offer valid until March 2022).
