INSIDE MEDIA ONE HOTEL

The What’s On Lock-In hits up an old favourite this month. We find out what makes Media One special...

- Lukas Tremmel

By day, Media One Hotel is a hip creative hangout. By night, a party palace. Agreed?

“Work hard and party harder”. That’s the Media One motto. The hotel is definitely a hub for the creative community. It’s also light-hearted, from the artwork and sculptures we choose to adorn the walls, to the marketing collateral we produce. Then, as the business day draws to a close, the après work scene commences with caféW, Qwerty, and Garden on 8 offering some of the liveliest happy hours in Media City, while Coco Lounge comes to life. If that’s not enough, Mr. Miyagi’s and Q43 offer further temptations to continue the fun late into the night.

Why do you think Media One Hotel has lasted the distance?

Because it’s not just a hotel. It’s a destination. The connection with the Dubai community has been key to establishing this and something that we have worked tirelessly on over the years. Plus, we are the pioneers of ‘pop-up’ events. Over the last 10 years which have included memorable nights such as ‘break-in on 9’, P7 Arena events in our carpark and more recently on Level 41 and ON42. We recently celebrated our 10th anniversary and have been proud to entertain Dubai for 10 years.
