Media One Hotel

Media One Hotel places a Dubai golf break in the middle of Media City, with the city skyline as the backdrop between rounds. This four-star hotel has 264 rooms and suites and suits golfers who want a lively base rather than a secluded resort routine. Emirates Golf Course forms part of the outlook from the adjoining Media One Office Tower, a useful reminder that some of Dubai’s best known fairways sit within the wider city landscape. Back at the hotel, the rooftop pool is included for guests and gives a welcome place to loosen off after a warm day on the course.

Rooms range from the compact Hip Rooms to Premium Cool Rooms, which offer more space, while Junior Calm Suites bring king-size beds and full-height skyline windows. For a longer stay or a group needing room to spread out, the One-Bedroom Chill Out Suites add a separate living room. Hip Rooms include high-speed Wi-Fi and a dedicated workspace, handy for anyone adding a few working hours to the trip. Accessible rooms have generous washing and bathing areas, hand-held rails and city views. The eighth-floor gym operates around the clock, covering cardio, strength, flexibility and recovery, with sauna and steam-room facilities available afterwards.

Evenings need not follow the same pattern twice, with eight food and drink venues under one roof. Ciao Bella covers Italian cooking, while Qwerty combines a restaurant, bar and terrace for a more relaxed post-round meal. Coco Lounge serves Miami-Japanese fusion dishes beside the pool, and Garden on 8 brings live entertainment and sports evenings to its rooftop setting. M12go is useful for a quicker coffee or bite before heading out, while P7 Arena adds another late-night option. The hotel holds Dubai Green Key certification, recognising environmental standards assessed by the local authority.
