Dining

The Locale; your neighbourhood eatery, the hotel’s central ground floor restaurant that brings together culinary stories from around the city and weaves a blanket of flavors that only Dubai has to offer. Drawing from the city’s hidden boltholes – the oldest kebab house to the Jumeirah’s favourite fish shack – expect the ultimate dining experience in a laid back coffee house atmosphere. Open daily for breakfast lunch and dinner; the restaurant’s alfresco terrace is an ideal spot in the winter months.

X marks the spot…Give two ‘KnoX’ at the large metal door and leave your inhibitions behind by accepting that anything can happen. KnoX, an Underground Playroom, will “Challenge the status quo”, taking guests away from the hustle and bustle above ground and immerses them in a world where the unacceptable could become acceptable, where rules could be broken and where the underground becomes the only place you want to bring your tribe.

Providing an ‘anti office’ for guests and residents, The Andaz Lounge evokes the cosiest of dens with plush seating, large tables and a library of books – not to mention a fully stocked bar. Allowing guests to catch up, swap stories and debate their favourite literary classics over cocktails or coffee: here the vibe is rock up, grab a book and start the conversation.

The place to find contemporarily crafted Japanese cuisine peppered with an international touch, Hanami is a modern, edgy take on traditional Japanese Izakaya. The place to see and be seen, the 15th floor eatery serves up the perfect spot to share dishes with friends or sip a cocktail while soaking in a cosmopolitan vibe and breath-taking city views from the intimate outdoor terrace.

At La Coco Beach Club guests will find La Coco, the neighbourhood’s friendly Macaw parrot after whom the stylish, unique beach club and lounge takes its name. Serving up casual bites and drinks to cool the thirst after a long day by the pool, everyone is welcome – from families having a day on the beach to casual couples wanting to share a sunset moment.
