Our favourite rooms

Any wellness warrior knows that sleep is key, and your well-trained hosts at Siro One Za’abeel have kitted every room out with a temperature-controlled mattress, meditation pillow and soundproofing for REM-encouraging nights of sleep. Instead of counting sheep, you can tally reps on the Swedish ladder or your yoga mat, or stream virtual TechnoGym classes on your projector screen to induce slumber. The freestanding bath tubs in the Siro Premium rooms offer soporific soaks, or up the ante in the Fitness Suite, with its view-surveying exercise area, boxing bag and private treatment room.

Poolside

Creating a symmetrical vignette, the skyscraper-contoured skyline is reflected in the adults-only (over-21s) infinity pool, on Tapasake’s rooftop terrace, which is suspended between buildings over the city below. Head to a poolside cabana between 6am and 10am (outside of these hours, there's an extra charge for Siro guests) for a tucked-away tête-à-tête or strut past the other sunloungers, showing off your new-found abs. Families can splash about in the foliage-framed garden pool, which has a dedicated area for little Smiths and mini lagoon-like areas inspired by Bali’s paddy fields. The focal point is a wooden pergola shading a swim-up bar, and the all-natural aesthetic is enhanced by swaying palm trees and floating stone islets.

Spa

You can put your boxing-fatigued arms and post-spinning legs in the healing hands of therapists at the Recovery Lab, who soothe with cutting-edge treatments and holistic rituals, such as immune-boosting IV drips, cryotherapy and myofascial cupping (classic massages and facials are also on the menu). Up the wellness factor with spells in the red-light chamber or cold plunge pool, or stretch out in a yin or hatha yoga class. And for a well-rounded approach to wellness, you can book a consultation with the resident nutritionist; we’ll be very impressed if you can stay on track with the hotel’s plethora of restaurants…

Packing tips

Look the part in Lululemon leggings or a Sweaty Betty matching set, even if you don’t plan on heading to the Fitness Lab. No need to pack any exercise accessories: each room is equipped with yoga mats, bolsters, resistance bands and a Swedish ladder, so you can easily limber up for your preferred form of cardio…

Also

The souped-up Fitness Lab has dedicated cardio, weights and stretching areas, and you’ll feel the burn in free HIIT and boxing classes. There are also personal training, reformer Pilates and spinning sessions for an extra charge.

Children

Welcome, but this wellness-focused stay is better suited to grown-ups. Breakfast is AED80 a day; some restaurants have age limits. Little Smiths at Siro get two hours for free at the kids' club on the 4th floor, near the family-friendly pool.

Food and Drink

Photos Siro One Za'abeel food and drink

Top Table

Each eatery is blessed with city-gazing views: bag a table by the floor-to-ceiling windows to admire the gleaming desert metropolis.

Dress Code

Sport your smartest threads for La Dame de Pic, which is the hotel’s dress-code diner. Aelia and Tapasake are more laidback, but swap swimwear for shirts come evening.

Hotel restaurant

If you feel like forgoing your newly established virtuosity, One Za'abeel's cantilever, the Link, has a healthy glut of restaurants to help you. Breakfast is served at Arrazuna, which is inspired by Middle Eastern marketplaces with its rose-water distillery and coffee roastery. Named after the Latin word for the sun, Aelia serves Mediterranean fare, leisurely afternoon tea and a cornucopia of a dessert table at dinner. The fusion Japanese-Peruvian plates at Tapasake are deft at distracting you from the restaurant’s skyline-surveying setting by the adults-only infinity pool. Street food gets a polished makeover at spirited StreetXO, and Andaliman showcases regional Indonesian cooking with smoky grilled seafood and spicy sambals. Seasonal Japanese plates and signature sake are standouts at omakase restaurant Sagetsu, and your around-the-world feast concludes in Europe, where chef Anne-Sophie Pic’s French fare is very fine at La Dame de Pic

Hotel bar

Head for sky-high sundowners at Aelia’s bar (noon-11pm) on the 25th floor, which nods to the French Riviera with aromatic cocktails and bright interiors. The bar at the Sphere (6pm–2am) is framed by a metallic archway, which has a — figurative — magnetic pull for drinkers and dancers wanting late nights, live music and internationally inspired drinks. Toast your evening with a Yammas (vermouth, Kalamata olives, grapefruit soda), or fall for an Instant Crush (whisky, verjus, oat, cranberry). The swim-up bar at the Garden Pool (6am–7pm) serves tropical tipples and light bites with Southeast Asian accents; Refuel Bar (6am–10pm) is your healthy pitstop for workout-fuelling shakes and snacks, plus there's a fresh salad-serving vending machine in reception.

Last orders

At Arrazuna, breakfast is 7am–11am; it serves lunch (noon–3pm) and dinner (5pm–10pm), as does Aelia. La Dame de Pic and Sagetsu open from 6pm–midnight; StreetXO, 7pm–2am. At Andaliman, lunch is noon–4pm and dinner is 6pm–11pm (until 1am for Tapasake).

Room service

You can dine in your room round the clock from a separate menu.

Location

Address
Siro One Za'abeel
Za'abeel 1
Dubai
United Arab Emirates

You’ll find Siro One Za’abeel in One Za’abeel Tower, which is set between Zabeel Park and Dubai’s lively financial district.

Planes

Dubai International Airport is a 15-minute drive from the hotel; staff can arrange private transfers from AED850 each way.

Trains

The hotel is a 20-minute walk from the World Trade Centre and Max Metro stations; from either stop, the red line will whizz you towards either the airport or Burj Khalifa.

Automobiles

You won’t need a set of wheels while you’re in the city, given taxis and transfers are easily arranged. Should you drive, the hotel has free private parking and valet services.

Worth getting out of bed for

After raising your heart rate at the Fitness Lab, then bringing it back down at the Recovery Lab at Siro One Za'abeel, you’ll be well limbered-up for days at large in Dubai. Your verdant neighbour is the vast Zabeel Park, which is home to Dubai Frame, a vertiginous archway that frames the old and new parts of the city from both sides. You can survey the city from the top, but it’s a walk in the park compared to Dubai’s other skyscraping look-outs, particularly the needle-like Burj Khalifa. Other Downtown Dubai big-hitters include the dripping-in-designer Dubai Mall, which also has an impressive aquarium and electric go-karting track, and the dancing Dubai Fountain. You could also cruise down Dubai Creek on an abra (traditional wooden boat) at sunset, and soak up the lights and colours of the city as it approaches nightfall.

Local restaurants

Green-minded Boca takes culinary cues from modern Spanish eateries, and transforms locally sourced ingredients into traditional tapas and tasting menus alongside zero-waste cocktails. Beirut-born Soul Kitchen fuses Levantine and Latin American flavours — tabbouleh ceviche, chimichurri hummus, shawarma empanadas — in a hibiscus-pink dining room, which also hosts jazz evenings. Roll up, roll up: inventive Indian fare is celebrated at Carnival by Trèsind Restaurant & Bar, where gala nights and Saturday brunch are the showstoppers.

Local cafés

Strong, specialty brews and sugar-dusted baked goods draw a savvy crowd to Orijins. Get your caffeine fix at Melbourne-inspired Encounter, which impresses with house-roasted blends and expert bean knowledge.

Local bars

You’ll soon become starry-eyed at stellar Galaxy Bar, where constellation-themed cocktails add to the otherworldly setting. Swap space exploration for time travel at Jass Lounge, a Twenties-inspired watering hole with hand-painted ceilings, low lighting and nightly live music.

Anonymous review

Every hotel featured is visited personally by members of our team, given the Smith seal of approval, and then anonymously reviewed. As soon as our reviewers have returned from this health-focused hotel in the United Arab Emirates and unpacked their yoga kit and gratitude journal, a full account of their wellness break will be with you. In the meantime, to whet your wanderlust, here's a quick peek inside Siro One Za’abeel in Dubai…

You’ll get a new lease of life at wellness retreat Siro One Za'abeel, which eschews regime and restriction in favour of holistic harmony: nourishment and rest are just as celebrated as movement (and, don’t worry gym bunnies, there’s plenty of that at the Fitness Lab’s cardio classes). 

As part of their all-round approach to health, you’ll each get a body-composition analysis included with your stay, and you can consult the in-house nutritionist for further dietary debriefing. Whether you do this before or after scoping out the nine willpower-testing restaurants is your call, but clean eating goes out the window at the generously stocked dessert table at Aelia... 

After a day of treating your body like a temple (more or less), put your feet up in a restfully minimalist bedroom, which is made more cocoon-like with city-muting soundproofing and a temperature-controlled mattress. Cosseting continues with high-tech spa treatments at the Recovery Lab, plus gentle yin yoga and meditation sessions. Siro One Za’abeel will put your mind — and body — at rest.
