The second hotel in Jumeirah’s new upscale casual collection offers a loft-style vibe on the south banks of Dubai Creek and a rooftop pool.

Zabeel House Al Seef

The second hotel in the Zabeel House by Jumeirah collection opens this week, bringing a loft-style vibe to the south banks of Dubai Creek, next door to the earlier opened Zabeel House MINI by Jumeirah.

With 200 rooms in three different sizes for solo travelers, couples or families, a lobby filled with a collection of contrasting art and design pieces and bookcases, a destination restaurant that stretches out over the waters of Dubai Creek, and a rooftop bar and pool with views across both old and new Dubai, Zabeel House by Jumeirah, Al Seef provides a completely new experience.

The hotel also features creative spaces to work from as well as five meeting rooms for the corporates.

From the group of human sculptures raising their hats to you as you enter the hotel, to the abstract art display called the ‘cityscape’ which portrays Dubai’s transformation and the stereos that adorn the reception desk and the spa, there’s design details to inspire in the lobby.

At Chapters guests will be encouraged to settle in for a while with one of the books pulled down from the surrounding bookcases and through the lobby you’ll find Nyon serving Mediterranean and Middle-Eastern bites throughout the day.

Skafos, opening after the summer, will be an alfresco gastro restaurant reaching out over the waters of Dubai Creek and seven floors above, Sol Sky Bar sits on the brim of the rooftop pool.

 With three room sizes (the Plush, the Popular and Suites) the hotel offers contemporary retreats made for rising above the city’s round-the-clock energy, mixing comfort with an edgy style.
