DSCVR Partnership: Expect the unexpected at a property where one day isn’t enough.
With striking views of Dubai’s Museum of the Future, 25hours Hotel One Central’s 434 rooms and suites combine Bedouin traditions with a forward-thinking modern aesthetic. The first and only 25hours hotel in the Middle East champions individuality and community, reverberating the mantra that 24 hours is not enough. Here’s how to spend the perfect day at a place where the timeless customs of Bedouin culture meet the vibrant atmosphere of modern-day Dubai.
Find your groove at Nomad Day Bar by Nightjar
Nomad Day Bar, a partnership with Dubai-based Nightjar Coffee Roasters, offers the ideal co-working spot with its mix of high tables and comfortable couches. With super strong wifi and cold brew on draught, this co-working space for digital nomads is more than just a lobby lounge. Situated on a raised dais, the area also features a calligraphy area where you can practice penmanship or brush up on your retro typewriting skills.
Enjoy a leisurely lunch at Tandoor Tina
Tandoor Tina offers a colourful culinary experience rooted in open-fire cooking – hence the name. For the uninitiated, a tandoor is a clay oven in which marinated meat is cooked over an intense fire. And taking inspiration from carefree travels across India, Tina’s express lunch is served thali style, offering a choice of starters, mains and desserts. This bustling business lunch is available on weekdays from 12pm to 3pm and is priced at AED 85 per person (three courses).
Take a dip
25hours Hotel One Central boasts a rooftop swimming pool with stunning views of the Museum of the Future, complemented by comfortable cabanas.

Pool passes are available daily from 7am. daily and cost AED 150 per person (fully redeemable on poolside food and beverages).
Lay back and luxuriate
The Extra Hour Spa is home to Dubai’s only outdoor mixed-use sauna and a trendy barbershop, but the treatments are the real deal when it comes to rest and relaxation. The Summer Serenity package, priced at AED 345 per person, means that you will receive an additional 30 minutes complimentary when a 30-minute massage is booked. Alternatively, book a 60-minute hammam experience for AED 599 and you will receive a complimentary 30-minute massage. Both offers include access to the rooftop pool.
Tuck into a Bavarian feast
Ernst is Dubai’s first traditional Bavarian biergarten and wirtshaus. All the traditional elements of a countryside tavern in southeast Germany are present and correct, including barrels of craft German hops, warm pretzels, and German delicacies. The Sunday Roast offers an authentic taste of Bavaria from 12pm to 4pm. AED 110 per person (including a starter, main course and dessert).
Dance the night away at Monkey Bar
Make your way to the playful Monkey Bar for a memorable evening anchored around drinking and dancing. Situated on the hotel’s sixth floor, this rooftop bar offers panoramic views over the Museum of the Future and Zabeel Park. Sit in one of the quirky monkey cages, groove to the tunes spun by DJs, and indulge in various cocktails. Happy Hour is available Sunday to Thursday from 5pm to 8pm, with selected beers, cocktails, and wines priced at just AED 35.
