It’s a firm favourite with London’s social set – not to mention one of the most decadent restaurants in the city. And now Park Chinois has set its sights on global expansion, with suitably glamourous Dubai confirmed as its next location.
A uniquely glamourous ode to 1930s Shanghai, Park Chinois is one of London’s hottest tables, home to an elevated experiential dining experience in Salon de Chin; as well as Club Chinois, a sultry after-hours spot for those in the know. We’re expecting both to land in the city with the upcoming Park Chinois Dubai.
While it will likely be next year before we’re dining on delicate dim sum and snapping chic shots in the oh-so-Instagrammable interiors, we do have a confirmed location for Park Chinois Dubai. Announced via a LinkedIn post, Park Chinois will join the culinary line-up at Gran Melia Port De La Mer.
Under construction at the top of La Mer, the Gran Melia is set to become one of the city’s most desirable resorts. While the renowned hotspots of J1 Beach including Gigi, Baoli and Sirene are within easy reach, the hotel will also house its own iconic beach club, Zuma Beach House. Set to open in 2027, Zuma Beach House will bring a breezy and refined seaside iteration of the renowned restaurant to the city. Featuring a stretching swimming pool, private beach and plush day beds, it’s sure to be a stunning spot for daytime dining and imbibing.
Park Chinois is one of a number of glittering restaurants and beach clubs that form Ibiza-born Island Hospitality. The group are also behind the brand’s White Isle location, as well as Ibiza hotspot Beachouse and pretty Mediterranean restaurant, Finca La Plaza. Could Beachouse Dubai be next? We certainly hope so.
