The hotly anticipated opening marks the launch of the first 25hours Hotel outside of Europe.
The first 25hours Hotel in the Middle East has finally opened, overlooking the Museum of the Future and just a stone’s throw away from Dubai International Financial Centre.
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. Adorning the top of the fountain is a rotating globe showcasing artwork created by a number of local artists around the concept of a modern nomadic lifestyle.
As guests scan upwards, they will find the ceiling taken over 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. Guests will be able to explore narratives that relate to Dubai and reference 25hours, its stories and ethos.
