Trendy, hip and lots of fun is what Media One Hotel screams out from the moment you drive up to the door.
While you cannot miss the funky design elements throughout the property, some of its features are more accentuated such as the branded Mini Coopers for airport pick-ups and bicycles which guests can hire for the day. Staff, or ‘enthusiasts’ as they are fondly called, are stylishly attired in ripped jeans and, with a philosophy to do everything differently, it is a hotel with an edge.
Media One Hotel is located in Dubai Media City district of Dubai, UAE, and caters to the savvy business-traveller offering a fun hotel experience. The venue is also fast becoming a popular hang out for Media City professionals looking for a sundowner.
The hotel occupies the first 23 floors of the 43-storey tower offering 260 guest rooms designed to inspire and aptly named Hip and Cool and the suites, Calm and Chill Out. Bathrooms are lavish and glass-walled with power showers and the rooms are equipped with all the modern amenities.
Media One has three vibrant dining outlets – Café M all-day dining, the Z:one Bar & Lounge, the only bar in town where guests are actually seated on the bar, and the Med, signature Mediterranean restaurant, with an outdoor pool lounge and bar.
There is a variety of popular themed events throughout the week including the ‘AP’ aperitivo nights in Café M offering unlimited selected beverages and tapas on Sundays and Mondays, ‘CW’ on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday nights offering a selection of 35 different cheese and beverages.
Given the hotel’s proximity to the Media City and Tecom, meeting facilities haven’t been overlooked with a dedicated meeting floor offering seven meeting rooms with a capacity of up to 120 people. Other facilities include a state-of-the-art gymnasium, swimming pool and steam and sauna rooms.
The hotel firmly believes that its approach of going beyond the traditional and ensuring guests don’t only stay but experience the style and comfort of the venue will position it rightfully in the market. Media One has a special room rate of Dh600++ ($163) per night inclusive of breakfast. This offer is valid until February 28, 2010.
