The top two floors of the hotel will home the “lifestyle dinning” destinations with The Roof Top, you’ve guessed it, located on the 70th and 71st floors offering 360-degree views of the magnificent emirate. Rumour has it that on a clear day you will be able to see as far as the Dubai Marina.
General Manager, Pascal Dupuis, said of the soon-to-be-launched hotel: “[It’s] an urban retreat set in the prestigious Downtown Dubai area, just a pleasant amble away from the cultural Opera District and The Dubai Mall, The Address Boulevard Dubai offers world-class views of the magnificent and astounding Burj Khalifa – the world’s tallest building and an iconic symbol of Dubai.” Sounds like it could be the new Dubai hot spot.
