REFINED, DECADENT AND PLAYFUL, DUBAI’S GLOBALLY ACCLAIMED AT.MOSPHERE RESTAURANT AND LOUNGE OFFERS JAW-DROPPING VIEWS, MESMERISING CULINARY MASTERPIECES AND SUPERIOR SERVICES.

Towering high above the clouds on the 122nd floor of the world’s tallest building a.k.a the neo-futuristic Burj Khalifa is the one and only At.mosphere, a highly renowned fine dining destination deemed a favourite by the echelons of society. It was unveiled by Emaar Hospitality Group, the conglomerate with its fingers dipped in a diversified portfolio of assets including hotels, serviced residences, golf retreats, a polo and equestrian club, marina and yacht club as well as lifestyle dining outlets – fair to say, they know a thing or two about living the high life. Awaiting discerning gastronomes from near and far are unparalleled views, mouth-watering culinary masterpieces and premium services designed to impress in its reincarnated form.
 
The second the elevator doors open, the eyes are blessed to a 360° feast of palatial intricacy in lines and curves. The sophistication of the modern French inspired cuisine served is reflected in the immensely opulent yet comfortable surroundings, inspired by the glamourous art deco period entwined with the colourful flora of European gardens. The dramatic, sweeping staircase with lapis lazuli blue carpeting and ice stalactite-like chandelier that leads upstairs sets the scene perfectly for the culinary delights that await, and a kaleidoscope of delectably obscene gold elements only adds to the venue’s sumptuous character.
Akin to the reception area, refined luxury can be seen in every delicate detail and sleek, timeless elegance can be found around every corner. The stunning mirrors and marble enchant diners upon arrival followed by the mirrored trellis, mosaic flooring, bookshelves lined with antique books along with intricate fabric walls which supplement the grandeur on show. Handcrafted statues, sculptures and ornaments made with decadent materials fill the space. With the considered lighting design ensuring a glamorous atmosphere from dawn to dusk, magic fills the venue no matter the time of day.
 
Cloaked in burgundy, the restaurant is the place to be for guests seeking a formal dining ambience while the midnight blue lounge packed with barrel back armchairs evokes a more casual but still upscale environment. Either way, the many nooks and niches throughout the bar area for both create cosy points of conversations. The sleek wood finishes complement the top-quality products available on a menu that constantly changes to reflect the season, ensuring guests are always served up the freshest produce on every visit. Sophisticated elegance can be found everywhere from the aged brass trim and leather bar front panels to the luxurious velvet finishes.
Matching the supremacy of the interiors is the cuisine, inviting guests to indulge in delightful bites that will take them through a full sensory experience. Serving breakfast, lunch and dinner in the restaurant, and breakfast, high tea and dinner in the lounge, epicures can expect to sample the likes of Foie Gras, Billionaire Sliders, Braised Wild Mushroom, Oysters on Ice, Wagyu 9+ Tomahawk, Blue Lobster and many more. After all bellies are full, head on over to The Conservatory to sample some of the world’s best cigar brands paired perfectly with a glass of French Cognac.

Whether one opts to fine dine in the restaurant or have a more casual dining experience in the lounge and bar area, amazement from the surrounding panoramic views of the glittering Dubai skyline and the crystal-clear Arabian Gulf is promised. A splurge to remember, At.mosphere is a one-of-a-kind experience that perfectly captures the vivacity of gastronomy culture with pride, finesse and grandeur.
