The Address 1

When deciding where to stay in Dubai this

summer, you need to work out whether you want

to be Downtown or Uptown.

Downtown Dubai is a classy inland district

that’s home to all manner of exciting attractions.

Its beating heart is Burj Khalifa, the world’s tallest

tower, a short hop from which is The Dubai Mall,

the world’s largest shopping and entertainment

destination. It’s also where you’ll find three

exquisite hotels – The Address Downtown Dubai,

The Address Dubai Mall and The Palace –

The Old Town.

The city’s Uptown district, meanwhile, has risen

up out of the desert in the last six years and is

home to hyper-modern buildings. At its western

border lies the beach and the Gulf – along with

seaside boulevards crammed with boutique shops

and gourmet restaurants. At its eastern edge lies

The Address Montgomerie Dubai, which is home

to a world-class 18-hole golf course designed by a

true legend of the game, Colin Montgomerie.

At Uptown’s centre is Dubai Marina, a man-

made harbour ringed with iconic buildings and

offering a phenomenal lifestyle to its thousands

of residents. It’s a self-contained community,

where Uptowners can walk or cycle to work along

Marina Walk, pop into The Address Dubai Marina

for wonderful evening meals or lazy afternoon

brunches, soak up the sun on the nearby beaches,

or shop in the Marina Mall – a focus for local life.

Having decided which of the city’s districts you’d

prefer to base yourself in, it’s time to start planning

activities for the perfect break: turn the page to find

out more...

The city of gold has two separate sides – Downtown and Uptown, both with a

unique feel and plenty of activities, restaurants, shopping and more on offer...

Just the facts

The Address Downtown Dubai

has an impressive number of

attributes. First and foremost is

its location right at the heart of

Downtown Dubai – less than

a 30-second stroll away from

the retail colossus that is The

of the towering Burj Khalifa.

Then there’s the superb five-level

infinity pool, where you can soak

up the rays from a lounger while

your children have a whale of a

time at the kids’ club. And when

it comes to the evening, it’s time

for a relaxing treatment at The

Spa (see ‘Go Out and About’ for

details) then to head over to one

of the hotel’s seven restaurants

and lounges (see ‘Eat in and

Around’) for an evening of

You’re spoilt for choice when it comes to activities, both Uptown

and Downtown. Here’s our pick of the best...

go out aNd about

eNJoy some retaiL theraPyDubai is rightly famed for its shopping – and

there’s nowhere more exciting to indulge your retail

therapy habit at The Dubai Mall. It spans some 12

million square feet and boasts all manner of first-

class attractions – including an Olympic-sized ice

rink and 22-screen cinema – as well as a dizzying

array of restaurants and cafés.

But it’s the stores that really make the mall,

all 1,200 of them – 165 of which are brands’

flagship outlets. Lovers of haute couture will have

a particular weakness for the mall’s label-loaded

Fashion Avenue and Galeries Lafayette, a multi-

level masterpiece that offers up floor after floor

of fantastic designer garb to the city’s sartorially

minded citizens.

Other big names to watch out for are New York

favourite Bloomingdales; bafflingly vast bookstore

Kinokuniya (or ‘Book World’); and the inhouse

Gold Souk, which plays host to dozens of

jewellers. There’s plenty on offer for kids, too,

including Dubai’s first and only branch of Hamley’s,

which helps to fire the imaginations of children

with over 100,000 toys, impromptu musical

interludes and magic shows performed by perma-

smiling staff.

Meanwhile, over in Uptown, you’ll find Dubai

Marina Mall, a great modern shopping spot built

around a huge, airy central atrium where local

residents meet up for a coffee and a chat before

hitting the stores. Once you’ve picked up some

new sports gear, a pretty dress or two, a watch

and perhaps even some jewellery, it’s time for you

to wander across to The Address Dubai Marina,

which is directly linked to the mall, for a slap-up

lunch at Mazina. Indulge in what’s served up at the

great Rotisserie grill.

taKe iN the sightsYou cannot leave Dubai before visiting Dubai

Aquarium & Underwater Zoo, an awesome

attraction at The Dubai Mall. Here you can peer

through the world’s largest viewing panel at over

33,000 aquatic creatures – everything from sand

tiger sharks to eagle-like stingrays and poker-faced

groupers – or take a stroll through the fish-filled,

water-ringed tunnel, where you just might see

divers feeding the fish.

Just upstairs on Level 2 is the amazing

Underwater Zoo. There are three environments

to explore in this extraordinary attraction, the first

of which is the ‘Rainforest’ where you experience

freshwater exhibits and see catfish, otters,

piranhas and water rats. Then there’s the ‘Rocky

The Address Montgomerie dubai

It’s a wonderful course, which covers 265 acres

and includes 14 lakes, 93 acres of landscaped

gardens and rolling fairways. You’ll find all the holes

exciting and challenging – particular joys include

the 13th, built in the shape of the UAE and with a

teeing area of 360 degrees, and the water-lined

ninth hole, a tricky par five. And when it comes to

relaxing after your game, you’ll find the terrace of

The Academy a heavenly spot to kick back with

some drinks.

iNduLge yourseLf at the sPaWhen it comes to pampering yourself, there are

five key spots you need to know about. The first is

The Spa at The Address Downtown Dubai, where

you’ll find reflexology, ayurveda and shiatsu, as well

as Hawaiian, Thai and Balinese massages. There’s

a dedicated room for aromatherapy treatments

as well as a cold room to help stimulate your

circulation before your massage begins.

Next up is The Spa at The Palace – The Old

Town, where there’s a host of touches you won’t

find in most spas, including Oriental bath houses

equipped with hammam tables. We recommend

booking yourself in for one of their wonderful

cleansing body wraps. Meanwhile, just next door

is The Spa at The Address Dubai Mall, where they

take a holistic approach to therapy: their body

scrubs are particular winners, especially when

finished off with a dreamily good head massage.

Over at The Address Montgomerie Dubai,

meanwhile, there’s an Angsana Spa, whose

therapists have all been trained in Thailand, and

deliver superb reflexology, massages and facials in

a tranquil, flower-scented space. Angsana places

great stock in using only natural ingredients

and fuses Eastern and Western techniques to

excellent effect.

Finally, at The Spa at The Address Dubai Marina,

you’ll find treatments using essential oils and spa

rooms overlooking the marina. For the ultimate in

relaxation, book their ‘Heavenly Harmony’ rituals

(for women) or ‘Ultimate Unwind’ (for men).

asiaNThe Address Downtown Dubai is the proud home

of one of the city’s best Chinese restaurants,

Hukama, a glorious place to indulge in authentic

Chinese cuisine. Dishes not to miss include the

sautéed seafood noodles, the wok fried sweet

and sour chicken, live scallops with yellow bean

crumbs, wasabi-coated king prawns and the

fabulous peking duck. And if you head down on

a Friday you can enjoy a traditional Yum Cha of

delicate dim sum and specialty teas.

If you’re in the mood for Thai food, you should

head to Thiptara at The Palace – The Old Town.

Thiptara means ‘Magic at the Water’, and the

setting, on the edge of the lake and illuminated

by flaming torches, is wonderful. You’ll love the

restaurant’s Bangkok-style seafood, and you

mustn’t leave without trying the tongue-tingling

phad prig Thai dam, a stir-fried mix of Alaskan crab

and black pepper sauce.

restaurant at the same hotel offers delicious fresh

pastas and wonderful take-out picnics. Another

laid-back affair for fine Italian dishes – the pizzas

are superb – is Esca at Qamardeen Hotel.

And for a European grill whose views cannot be

bettered, make a reservation at At.mosphere at the

Burj Khalifa. The steaks and seafood are superb

– but it’s the spectacle of the whole city unfolding

beneath you that’s the biggest draw. Another great

place for steak is Nezesaussi in Al Manzil Hotel,

where your cut of choice will be flame cooked

before your eyes.

LouNgesViews do not come much better than those on

offer at At.mosphere, a laidback lounge that’s

located 670 feet in the air on the 122nd floor

at the Burj Khalifa. It’s also got a great grill (see

‘European’, below).

Meanwhile, if you’re looking for a place with a

stunning setting for some al fresco snacks, check

out the Asian-themed FAI at The Palace – The Old

Town. FAI is ‘encircled by water, enlivened by fire’

– the water is the lake surrounding Burj Khalifa and

the fire comes from the atmospheric torches which

are dotted about the space. Get a seat on the

terrace and take in the jaw-dropping views of The

Dubai Fountain at work.

Another superb spot is on offer just round the

corner at The Address Downtown Dubai, on

whose 63rd floor you’ll find Neos. It boasts floor-

to-ceiling windows providing awesome views.

The décor is as opulent as it comes – exquisite

chandeliers, gleaming silver pillars and a central

area lined with designer chairs. You’ll also find a

great atmosphere and drinks at the Lounge at

Ember Grill at The Address Dubai Mall.

When it comes to preprandial drinks in Uptown,

there are two excellent options at The Address

Dubai Marina. The first is Shades, a poolside spot

which serves light meals and mezze throughout

the day and turns into a sophisticated lounge area

at night, complete with views of Dubai Marina and

cool background tunes courtesy of the in-house

DJ. Just around the corner is Blends, an upmarket

social hotspot where you can enjoy mini-wagyu

burgers, crispy fried calamari or, if you’re in the

mood for sharing, an excellent cheese fondue. For

more hearty fare, head to The Academy at The

Address Montgomerie Dubai and tuck into big

sandwiches, fantastic salads and superb burgers.

cafésIf you’re in the mood for afternoon indulgence,

take yourself to Risala in The Address Downtown

Dubai. It makes a speciality of its afternoon teas,

available in both Eastern and Western versions,

and both are truly to die for. Just down the road

at The Palace - The Old Town, there’s an equally

fantastic tea on offer at Al Bayt, a palatial spot that

offers high tea and super views.

If you’re spending the day shopping at The Dubai

Mall, why not break the trip up and catch your

breath at Karat at The Address Dubai Mall? Based

in the hotel’s lobby, Karat has a warm, welcoming

atmosphere and a grand line-up of coffees and

snacks. If you’re there in the afternoon, order one

of their Arabic Afternoon Teas – you won’t regret it.

In The Dubai Mall itself there’s the lovely

Madeleine Café & Boulangerie, a Parisian-style

spot with terrific views of The Dubai Fountain and

wonderful pastries. Those shopping at Marina Mall

on the other side of town should take their break

at Kambaa at The Address Dubai Marina. It’s a

relaxing retreat where the music comes courtesy Madeleine Café & Boulangerie

dessert buffet is equally immense.

meat is cooked on a ‘parilla’ grill which forms the

focal point of the restaurant: go for a luscious lamb
