Media One Hotel

Dubai City, Dubai

Virgin rating

The hotel

There’s something seriously slick about Media One Hotel. It’s like they read all the guides to creating the ultimate urban retreat: find a tip-top location (this one’s in the heart of New Dubai), add another mirrored masterpiece to Dubai’s famed skyline, fill it with cosmopolitan city break essentials (Gym? Tick. Dining? Tick. Nightlife? Tick.) and zhoosh it up with accessories straight from a celebrity designer’s moodboard. Like a constant reminder of its cooler-than-cool location, your guest room looks out over the Arabian Gulf, Palm Jumeirah, or glittering Dubai skyline. And, for more eye-popping views, the tower’s dining and drinking hubs include Garden on 8, with on-trend refectory tables and big-screen TVs, and Coco Lounge, a ‘bar-meets-lounge-meets-pool’ set up, where you can slink from your swim to a poolside sofa for skyline views, cocktails, and chillout beats.

This is a very good hotel in a great location. Competitively priced, with nice clean rooms (thank you Irfan) and decent views. The staff were really friendly and helpful, nothing was too much trouble for them. I would definitely come back to the Media One Hotel again.

Super pleased with our stay at Media One. The warm welcome, the kindness the smiles, the nice rooms and the location all make it that we would stay here again. Amazing value for money in the overpriced Dubai landscape. Breakfast buffet was very nice as well. Shahul and the night manager made us feel very special. Thank you!
