Sunset Hospitality’s Mood Rooftop Lounge, a bar and restaurant, is set to open in October at Meydan Hotel.
Mood Rooftop Lounge will be set on the rooftop of the Nad Al Sheba hotel. The adults-only venue will comprise an exotic garden lounge, in addition to a space where guests can find hubbly bubbly.
“Dubai has beautiful hideouts in its skyline, and Mood Rooftop Lounge will enable guests to see the city from another perspective. The landscape of Dubai Downtown with the towering Burj Khalifa and the glittering evening sky will surely impress the guests as they relax, sipping on delicious beverages and nibbling on some canapés in the company of their friends or loved ones,” says Nazih Hafez, chief operating officer at Sunset Hospitality Group.
“We’re also proud to announce that we’ve acquired the license to operate the Sweet Chick brand in the Middle East and Europe. We’ll be opening the first London restaurant in the last quarter of the year, followed by plans to bring the brand to the UAE in the near future. This is a key achievement for Sunset Hospitality Group as we slowly realise our goal to grow the company into new markets such as the UK,” he adds.
The US-based Sweet Chick, a cult chicken and waffle restaurant, is opening its first London restaurant in Oxford Circus this autumn. Founded in Brooklyn by restaurateur John Seymour in 2013, and backed by rapper Nas, Sweet Chick currently serves its take on modern American comfort food across five locations in New York and LA.
Discussions are also underway to establish the brand in Saudi Arabia and Bahrain. By April 2020, Sunset Hospitality Group will open the second Sweet Chick in Birmingham.
