About Jumeirah & the Hotel:

Jumeirah, a global leader in luxury hospitality and a member of Dubai Holding, operates an exceptional portfolio of 31 properties, including 33 signature F&B restaurants, across the Middle East, Europe, Asia and Africa. In 1999, Jumeirah changed the face of luxury hospitality with the opening of the iconic Jumeirah Burj Al Arab and the brand is now renowned worldwide for its distinguished beachfront resorts, esteemed city hotels and luxury residences. From the contemporary Maldivian island paradise at Jumeirah Olhahali Island to the art-inspired Jumeirah Capri Palace in Italy and the modern twist on a British classic at Jumeirah Carlton Tower in London, the brand has become synonymous with warm and generous service and the ability to craft distinctive and purposeful experiences that bring joy to guests from across the world.

Our lifestyle brand, Zabeel House takes inspiration from our roots - Dubai. Much like the city where it was created, we too like to push the boundaries to create innovative hotel stays. We are curators of 'what is good,' and build experiences that people want to share.

Limitless curiosity is our commitment to engage the guest in the local neighbourhood through sharing our knowledge of the area with guests to inspire them to explore. Inventiveness is our commitment to engage with guests with open minds, with ingenuity, with fresh creativity and always thinking outside the box. Honesty reflects our commitment to always be genuine towards our guests; to have conversations, not interactions. Freedom relates to Zabeel House design and ambiance - we created a brand that is high on design but low on complexity and our design - led spaces are crafted to allow our guests to have the freedom to be who they want to be and stay how they want to stay. Finally, Belonging reflects how we want our guests to feel - guests who want to live like a local - even if just for a day.

Our property, Jumeirah Zabeel House, The Greens, offers its guests 210 rooms and suites, and a coworkspace with meeting rooms. For those inclined toward wellness, a cutting-edge fitness centre awaits, while the rooftop boasts a pool area for leisure and relaxation.
