    June 26, 2025

    IN PARTNERSHIP: As the summer heat settles over Dubai and the upcoming long weekend beckons, voco® Dubai unveils the perfect urban sanctuary for those seeking an indulgent yet convenient staycation getaway.
    This stylish hotel on Sheikh Zayed Road redefines the staycation experience with its thoughtfully curated 36-hour summer escape, blending extended relaxation time with exclusive perks that promise to make every moment count.

    The Ultimate Urban Retreat
    In a city that never sleeps, time becomes the ultimate luxury. Recognizing this, voco® Dubai has crafted a staycation package that gifts guests with 36 full hours of uninterrupted relaxation—from an early 8 AM check-in to a late 8 PM check-out the following day. This generous timeframe allows visitors to slow down and savor their city break without the usual rush.
    The package includes contemporary accommodations for two, where floor-to-ceiling windows frame Dubai’s glittering skyline. Mornings begin with a lavish buffet breakfast at Celsius for both ‘staycationers’, the hotel’s all-day dining venue known for its vibrant atmosphere and diverse culinary offerings.

    Food enthusiasts will appreciate the AED 100 dining credit, redeemable across the property’s exceptional F&B outlets—whether for light bites at the Lobby Lounge, poolside refreshments, or craft cocktails with panoramic views at Windows Bar & Lounge on the 49th floor.
    Wellness and Rewards
    Understanding the importance of holistic relaxation, the hotel provides an AED 100 spa voucher upon arrival, inviting guests to experience the tranquil Spa Zen. For IHG One Rewards members, the benefits extend further with 25-30% discounts on dining, making every culinary experience even more rewarding.

    Tailored Spa Indulgence
    The Summer Wellness Escape at Spa Zen stands out as a highlight of voco® Dubai’s seasonal offerings. Priced at just AED 399 per person, this customizable package allows guests to curate their perfect spa journey by selecting any three treatments from an array of rejuvenating options, each timed at perfect 30-minute packages. Choices include a soothing back massage to melt away tension, a revitalizing foot massage, an exfoliating body treatment, or a nourishing Elemis facial—each designed to restore balance and radiance.

    The experience culminates with a main course meal and soft drink at the Pool Bar, where guests can lounge in the sunshine while savoring delicious fare. It’s the ideal way to extend the spa’s tranquility into the afternoon.
    A Prime Location for Exploration
    Beyond its exceptional amenities, voco® Dubai boasts one of the city’s most enviable addresses. Situated on Sheikh Zayed Road, the hotel places guests just moments away from Dubai’s iconic landmarks, including the Museum of the Future, Burj Khalifa, and Dubai Mall. The Dubai World Trade Centre is equally accessible, making this an ideal choice for both leisure and business travellers.

    Within the hotel, the exclusive Club Lounge on the 42nd floor offers a serene escape with breathtaking city views. Guests can enjoy complimentary breakfast, afternoon tea, and evening cocktails in this elevated space, which perfectly encapsulates voco® Dubai’s blend of sophistication and approachable luxury.
    Unforgettable Dining Experiences

    Culinary adventures await at every turn, from the 49th-floor Windows Bar & Lounge—where handcrafted cocktails meet stunning vistas—to the relaxed poolside dining options. The hotel’s diverse venues ensure that every meal becomes a memorable experience, whether guests seek vibrant social scenes or intimate moments.
