Why we recommend it
Zabeel House is Jumeirah's laid-back lifestyle brand, and this branch sits in The Onyx Tower 3 in The Greens, a leafy residential district just off Sheikh Zayed Road between Al Barsha and Dubai Marina. It feels more like a neighbourhood hotel than a resort, with a sociable lobby, a co-working space and an easy-going atmosphere aimed at travellers who want to live like residents rather than stay behind a resort gate.
Rooms are compact, modern and well designed, with the essentials done well rather than a long list of extras. The hotel's facilities include a co-working space with fast connections, transfer services, and access to padel courts and ice baths for those keeping up a fitness routine. Pets are welcome, which is unusual in Dubai, and the hotel highlights pet-friendly restaurants nearby.
The biggest draw is the neighbourhood. Kinoya, the Michelin Bib Gourmand ramen bar and izakaya, is next door in The Onyx Tower 2, and The Greens has a cluster of cafés and casual restaurants around its lakes and walkways, popular with the residents who live there. The area is calm in the evenings, which makes it a good base for business travellers working in Dubai Internet City and Media City, couples on a budget and anyone visiting friends in this part of the city.
Prices are in the mid-range, noticeably below those of the beach resorts, and value is good given the location. The hotel is reached on +971 4 519 1111 or by email at [email protected]. Families will find the rooms fine for short stays, though larger groups may want interconnecting rooms or a suite. Breakfast in the neighbourhood cafés is part of the appeal, and the walkways around The Greens are pleasant for an evening stroll from November to March.
Dubai Internet City Metro station on the Red Line is about a ten-minute walk away, and from there trains run to Dubai Marina, the Mall of the Emirates and Downtown Dubai. Dubai Marina and JBR beach are around ten minutes away by taxi, the beaches at Al Sufouh are close by, and the Mall of the Emirates and Ski Dubai are a short drive inland.
