The 72 Best Hotel Openings of 2024
One&Only One Za’abeel, Dubai
Located in the city’s centrally located new mixed-use development (also home to the LW Design Group-crafted SIRO, the first location of Kerzner International’s new wellness-focused brand), the One&Only One Za’abeel features dual skyscrapers intersected by the world’s longest cantilever the Link, floating 328 feet above the ground. Blending modernity with traditional Emirati elements, the 229-room resort is setting a new standard in urban luxury with multiple restaurants, a Balinese-inspired garden pool, and the UAE’s first Longevity Hub by Clinique La Prairie.
