DUBAI, Jan 21 — At 26 metres shy of the Empire State Building in New York, the world's tallest hotel is set to open its dining rooms in the city of superlatives, where engineers are continually testing gravity with leviathan man-made constructions.

Beginning next month, the JW Marriott Marquis Hotel Dubai will be opening the property's nine restaurants and five bars, one of which occupies the top floor.

The Marriott Dubai stands at 355 metres and consists of twin towers each with 77 floors. The first tower opened last November.

Restaurants include Asian-Fusion, Italian, American, German, and continental and steakhouse themes.

The dining scene begs comparison with another major hotel landmark in the city, the Burj Al Arab, where guests are offered a dining experience dubbed "Culinary Flight", a gastronomic itinerary that capitalises on the view 200 metres above sea level and moves between the hotel's multiple dining rooms, including the Al Muntaha.

The dinner programme is 1,000 AED (RM815). — AFP/Relaxnews


Gordon Ramsay whispers return to Dubai

DUBAI, Jan 21 — British celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay has hinted of plans to return to Dubai with a new restaurant after pulling out of the city-state more than a year ago.

In an interview with Tabloid!, the leisure and lifestyle section of GulfNews.com, Ramsay said he was looking at two potential locations for his latest Middle Eastern outpost, but otherwise remained tightlipped.

Ramsay has a long history with the United Arab Emirates, having steered the restaurant Verre at the Hilton Dubai Creek hotel for nine years until 2011. It was his first project outside the UK.

His latest project would join existing locations such as The Gordon Ramsay Doha and Opal by Gordon Ramsay, both at the St. Regis Hotel in Doha, Qatar.

Ramsay is just one in a string of Michelin-starred, celebrity chefs who are expanding their empires into the Middle East, including French culinary titans Alain Ducasse and Guy Savoy.

Qatar's Museum of Islamic Art also tapped Ducasse to open the site's first fine-dining restaurant IDAM last year. The menu offers French Mediterranean cuisine with an "Arabic" twist. — AFP/Relaxnews
