Executive Chef

At the 25hours Hotel One Central, Bedouin traditions are brought back to life and reinterpreted in a contemporary way. Here our colleagues become storytellers themselves. With a view of the Museum of the Future near the Dubai International Financial Center, everyone will find their way to us.
