A travel guide to the best places to visit

Above

Above is an impressive rooftop lounge on the five-star Sofitel Dubai Downtown hotel. From this sophisticated venue in the vibrant downtown area the view on the Dubai skyline is postcard-perfect and the unobstructed view on the Burj Khalifa and the fountain show is spectacular. It has a luxury French style interior and is considered as one of the best designed rooftops in Dubai. A great advantage is that they have an outdoor airco, so that the lounge even feels comfortable during the warm summer months.

Besides their well-known exotic cocktails Above also offers premium brand spirits and an extensive wine list together with a wide selection of world foods and even shisha. Often live music or sweet tunes are played. The hostesses, the waiters and bartenders are professional and friendly. During daytime Above is very suited for a poolside brunch with the family and it becomes a popular spot for clubbers at night. Even guests that are price conscious are welcome to visit this beautiful rooftop bar during happy hour as they offer attractive prices on selected beverages.
