"Wellness is a lifestyle, and you feel it the moment you arrive at Siro One Za'abeel, a wellness-focused hotel in the heart of Downtown Dubai. Located just a short walk from the Museum of the Future, the hotel offers sweeping views of the city, including the iconic Burj Khalifa, making relaxing or even working out a little more inspiring.
"I stayed during the Dubai Fitness Challenge, a city-wide initiative in November, when Dubai's weather is just perfect, not too hot, for 30 minutes of daily exercise for 30 days. Though I only participated for five of those days, I joined cycling groups, running clubs like Jumeirah Johns Running Club, and even visited Kite Beach, where free classes and events made it easy to stay active. Between the city's offerings and the hotel's in-room workout equipment, you really don't need a fitness membership this month.
"After workouts, recovery was a breeze with sports massages, muscle stimulation therapy, and other indulgent treatments. Dining was equally impressive. StreetXO served some of the best meals I've ever tasted, and though Nobu One Za'abeel wasn't open during my stay, I can only imagine its offerings are equally exceptional.
"For wellness, recovery, and city living all rolled into one, Siro One Za'abeel has it covered, and after a 14-hour flight across the world, that's exactly what I needed." — Haley Lyndes, shopping staff writer
