SIRO One Za’abeel: Where Design, Wellness and Performance Converge in the Heart of Dubai
Dubai’s reputation as a city of firsts continues with the arrival of SIRO One Za’abeel, an innovative new concept from hospitality pioneers Kerzner International. More than just a hotel, SIRO One Za’abeel introduces a bold reimagining of urban wellness, blending high-performance fitness, cutting-edge recovery, and thoughtfully curated design into a seamless, lifestyle-driven experience.
Nestled within the architectural landmark of One Za’abeel, SIRO’s debut property is already redefining the expectations of health-conscious travellers, city dwellers, and design enthusiasts alike. For those who believe wellness and aesthetics go hand in hand, this is where Dubai’s sleek, forward-thinking design language meets the science of performance and recovery.

A New Design Language for Wellness Hospitality
From the moment you step inside, SIRO One Za’abeel feels different. There’s an unmistakable sense of purpose to the interiors — minimalist, serene, and meticulously crafted to enhance both physical and mental well-being. Floor-to-ceiling windows frame sweeping views of the city skyline, while natural textures and neutral palettes create a calming retreat from the energetic pace of Dubai.
The guest rooms are designed as personal sanctuaries, thoughtfully equipped with recovery essentials such as yoga mats, stretch bands and meditation cushions, complemented by technology that supports the body’s natural rhythms. Motorised blackout blinds and thermo-regulating mattresses are subtle details with significant impact, ensuring guests awaken refreshed and aligned.
For those seeking an even more personalised experience, SIRO offers Fitness Suites complete with private gym facilities, and Recovery Suites designed for in-room treatments, each reflecting a commitment to wellness without compromising on comfort or style.

Where Architecture Meets Performance
SIRO One Za’abeel’s position within One Za’abeel is no coincidence. The development itself is a feat of engineering and design, home to the world’s longest occupied building cantilever — The Link — and an architectural symbol of Dubai’s relentless pursuit of innovation. It’s the perfect setting for a hospitality brand rewriting the rules of what a hotel can be.
Spread across multiple levels, SIRO One Za’abeel integrates world-class fitness and recovery facilities with a design ethos that prioritises spatial harmony, functionality, and immersive experiences.
The Fitness Lab — a state-of-the-art facility with specialised studios for high-intensity interval training, group cycling, boxing, yoga and Pilates — offers more than just a workout. Designed with atmospheric lighting, digital screens, and performance-tracking technology, spaces like the Experience Box transport guests beyond a typical gym setting into an environment where training is elevated through design and sensory engagement.
Signature classes, developed in collaboration with elite athletes — from AC Milan-inspired functional fitness to boxing sessions curated by champion Ramla Ali — ensure guests can train like professionals within a setting that is both visually striking and physically demanding.

Recovery Reimagined, 31 Floors Above the City
Just as design has transformed the Fitness Lab, it also defines the Recovery Lab, perched high on the 31st floor. Here, floor-to-ceiling windows flood the space with natural light, offering panoramic views that become part of the wellness experience. Dedicated spaces for mindfulness, yoga, and sound healing are complemented by cutting-edge therapies, including Cryotherapy, Red Light Therapy, and IV treatments — all within an interior designed to soothe the senses and elevate the spirit.
The Recovery Lab’s male and female zones include steam rooms, infrared saunas, cold plunge pools and zen areas — an architectural expression of wellness that ensures every element, from layout to material choice, contributes to tranquillity and rejuvenation.

Culinary Wellness with Design at its Core
Wellness extends beyond the gym or spa at SIRO One Za’abeel — even the dining experience reflects a commitment to performance and design. The Refuel Bar, a vibrant, nutrition-focused hub adjacent to the Fitness Lab, serves up expertly crafted shakes and healthy snacks, with interiors designed for social connection as much as nourishment.
In-room dining takes a modular approach, allowing guests to build personalised, nutritionally balanced meals — a refreshing take on traditional hotel dining that prioritises wellbeing without compromising on flavour or presentation. Even the minibar follows suit, stocked with health-conscious options like kombucha, ginger shots and protein snacks, all presented with the same design attention as the rooms themselves.
A New Chapter for Global Wellness Hospitality
More than just a hotel, SIRO One Za’abeel is a blueprint for the future of hospitality, where cutting-edge wellness, high-performance living, and purposeful design converge. As Dubai continues to lead the conversation around luxury, innovation, and architecture, SIRO is a timely and fitting addition to the city’s evolving skyline.
With future SIRO destinations already announced for Montenegro, Tokyo, and Cabo, the brand’s global vision is clear: wellness is no longer a side offering — it is the foundation for how we travel, live, and design the spaces we inhabit.
