The hotel in Dubai famous for having a large, fluid-like "hole" in the center is the ME Dubai, located within the Opus building in the Burj Khalifa district. Designed by the legendary late architect Zaha Hadid, the building appears as a giant glowing cube that has been "eroded" in the center to create a free-form, eight-story void. This central void is an architectural marvel, featuring curved glass surfaces that reflect the sun by day and are illuminated by thousands of controllable LEDs at night. The Opus is the only hotel where Zaha Hadid designed both the exterior architecture and the interior furniture and decor, featuring her signature "Queen of the Curve" style throughout the 74 rooms and 19 suites. The two halves of the building on either side of the void are connected by a four-story atrium at the base and a stunning 38-meter-wide bridge suspended 71 meters above the ground. It is one of the most photographed and architecturally significant structures in Dubai’s skyline in 2026, blending solid geometry with ethereal negative space.
