Yacht Club
Overlooking Abu Dhabi’s most picturesque marina, the stylish terrace at the Yacht Club is the newest addition to a fabulous dining line up. The Yacht Club is poised to become the hottest spot in town with its contemporary design, Pacific Rim cuisine and the unlimited imagination of its bar staff. Get ready for creative cocktails and unforgettable sunsets.
Guests chilling out at The Yacht Club in The Intercontinental Abu Dhabi will be blown away by the industrious yet chic aluminum-steel fan mounted on the ceiling of this top notch restaurant club. These are not your ordinary fans but impressionable upsized installation pieces that are 7.3 meters wide in diameter - enough to literally blow someone’s socks off.
A popular area in the restaurant club interior is the host of swanky booths, raised and separated on a grand ascending stair platform overlooking the dance floors. It’s like a private sanctuary here where guests mingle and laze as if they are really in a super yacht. Poole explains, ’It’s not often we come across spaces with an eight-meter high ceiling. This allowed us to play with the heights of the circular booths. People are generally like cats. If there is a high place to look over the crowd, it will be the most popular.’
As the name suggests, The Yacht Club celebrates a boating lifestyle and the architectural elements reflect exactly that. ’It was formerly a Lebanese nightclub with no exterior. We re-oriented the space to address the marina by demolishing the exterior facade, adding sliding thermal glass walls and creating a series of stepping decks for views of the sunset and the marina. By adding the sail coth tarps and yachting masts at the entry, we brought the yachting lifestyle into the club space," quips Poole. And with the gigantic fan rotating slowly and luring the crowd into a psychotropic daze, the lounge party mood is set.’
