Skyview Bar

7star hotel, the only one on this planet! I just couldn’t resist and had to visit! You MUST have a reservation in order to be let through the gate to even approach the Burj al Arab! Stepping inside the hotel was like stepping into another world! When we arrived on the 27th floor to visit the skyview bar, we were advised that we could only enter the bar if we at least spend AED 300 per person minimum. We agreed and were welcomed by an incredible friendly staff…..the views and the sunset and the inside design of the bar….incredible! We ordered a Negroni, french75 and a porn Star martini! Every drink was made with such perfection, it was out of this world. We then ordered vegan arancini and the tuna tartar as well as the Pommes dauphine. The tuna and the Pommes dauphines were outstanding! Best ever! We also received some bread and olives as a side! And again, we could not believe how great those olives tasted! We asked our server Kim, who was amazing btw, what brand the olives were because they were so good and he got us some more and shared with us which brand! Talking about Kim, I hope you’ll get him as your server! He was very attentive, fulfilled and wish and had answers to all our questions! Kim! You rock!

Had a few cocktails here and it was an exceptional experience. The service was incredible and we had some of the best cocktails we’ve ever had here. The views were absolutely outstanding. Can’t recommend highly enough.

The moment we entered the bar, my jaw dropped because of the breath taking view!Photos don’t do justice.We had the most fabulous afternoon tea here.Decent savory and sweets.We loved the gold flakes touch in the champagne and the cappuccino.Staffs were very attentive & friendly.Harper’s music was good.It makes the experience better.This place shouts,Tell me you’re in Dubai without telling me you’re in Dubai!

Afternoon Tea at the world's only "7 star" hotel was an amazing experience. The approach to the Burj Al Arab is a treat with world class service every step of the way. Luxurious furnishings greet you as you enter the lobby and high end shops line the edge of the grand lobby area. The tea starts with a glass of champagne or Gold Emotion which is perfect for those looking to avoid alcohol but also the most amazing glass of apple juice you will ever have. The gold leaf floating in your drink makes you even forget about the lack of alcohol. You start with a savory course which each bite was a culinary masterpiece. The next round was the 8 different sweet treats in the tower. The pastry chef does an amazing job and while the balance is more sweet than savory you will enjoy each bite and rest assured there is more than enough food for even the hungriest of eaters. We had dinner scheduled only 4 hours later and that was a big mistake. I suggest an early breakfast and later dinner to truly enjoy the food. The views are great from all angles to see the city or the water. You can see the world islands or Palm Jumeirah from the comfortable seats. A must for anyone seeking a great date experience, a ladies afternoon away or a mother daughter day.

i recently dined at Seventeen’s, and it was a delightful experience. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, perfect for a cozy meal. The menu offered a great variety, and everything we tried was delicious—especially the signature dish! The staff was friendly and attentive, making us feel right at home. I can’t wait to go back and explore more of their offerings

Having booked the afternoon tea at the Skyview Lounge for 3 firends, we drove into the hotel and were very badly received at the "welcome kiosk" by a person who asked us to go park at the Jumeirah Beach Hotel and then walk across. He didn't even ask us for our booking and must have thought we were on a tour or something. We did say we came in for tea at the SkyView lounge but he didn't allow us to drive in. We wasted half an hour and had to go valet parking at the JBH and then were told that we shouldn't have done that, so wasted another precious time to get the car back and finally drove into Burj Al Arab as we could have from the start. What an horrible experience. You really don't feel welcome - I guess the BMW we were driving was not fancy enough for the guy who didn't even bother to ask us for our booking... Sad.

After living in Dubai for over 13 years, I finally decided to visit the iconic Burj Al Arab, booking their Afternoon Tea experience to treat my visiting in-laws to something truly special. Unfortunately, the experience was far from the 7-star service one would expect from such a world-renowned hotel. From the outset, we were greeted by a waitress whose rudeness left us shocked and embarrassed—especially disappointing considering I had arranged this as a thoughtful gesture for my husband’s family. Mocked us, replied to our questions with disrespect and just not a friendly face overall. While I won’t delve into all the details, the interaction cast a shadow over what was meant to be a memorable outing. To their credit, two kind gentlemen on staff stepped in to salvage the situation and offered their apologies, which we appreciated. However, the damage was done, and we left with a sour taste in our mouths. Beyond the service issue, the Afternoon Tea itself was underwhelming and not worth the high price point, especially the savoury selection. The air conditioning was not working properly—an uncomfortable oversight in Dubai’s climate—and there were no warm or wet towels offered, which is a basic courtesy in any high-end establishment. Sadly, I cannot recommend this experience to anyone visiting Dubai. For a hotel that brands itself as the pinnacle of luxury, the experience fell dramatically short. A major disappointment.

Great view, must be wearing pants…they can provide a pair if you come in shorts for you to change into. Great experience and perfect view of the city lights.
