Amid a whirlwind of events surrounding the release of her latest album and Amazon Prime Video debut, Jennifer Lopez made a surprise appearance in Dubai for a special performance at the opening of the One&Only One Za’abeel Hotel. The star-studded event featured a DJ set by Mark Ronson and a medley of Lopez's hit songs, marking the first-time collaboration between the two artists.
The grand debut of One&Only One Za’abeel attracted a host of celebrities and notables, including Naomi Campbell, Vanessa Hudgens, and Vincent Cassel. The luxury hotel, part of the One&Only collection in Dubai, boasts a unique feature called The Link, a futuristic boulevard suspended 328 feet above ground connecting dual skyscrapers.
With rooms starting at $515 a night, the hotel offers a range of amenities including the longest infinity pool in the UAE and a variety of dining experiences curated by Michelin-recognized chefs. The property also houses the UAE's first Longevity Hub by Clinique La Prairie, focusing on personalized wellness journeys.
Designed by Jean-Michel Gathy, the hotel features 229 rooms, 94 private residences, and nine penthouses, all emphasizing luxury and privacy. Guests are welcomed with top-notch service and unique room features such as massage tables, in-room spa treatments, and state-of-the-art AV technology.
One&Only One Za’abeel represents a shift for the brand towards city-centric resorts, offering activities tailored to business and leisure travelers. The hotel's opening weekend featured a record-breaking light projection show, adding to Dubai's reputation for extravagance.
As part of One&Only's expansion plans, the hotel in Dubai joins other exclusive properties like One&Only Palmilla and Mandarina in Mexico. The brand's commitment to luxury and exclusivity is further exemplified by upcoming openings, including Moonlight Basin in Big Sky Montana.
