Located to the far west of the atmospheric Al Seef development, Zabeel has arty contemporary decor with life-size sculptures of figures that beckon you to the reception area, flanked by a library corner with some great browsing potential. The rooms are slick and modern with a charcoal-and-white colour scheme and bold abstract murals.
A 'suite pad' operates, well, just about everything (aside from the espresso machine), and also provides information about Dubai.
