9) NOBU, ATLANTIS THE PALM, UAE
Kerzner International Development collaborated with world-renowned chef Nobu Matsuhisa and The Rockwell Group to create the first Nobu restaurant in the Middle East.
The hotel’s vice president food and beverage, Martin Chung, says what makes the design so special is the harmony between both the Japan- and Atlantis-inspired elements.
“Organic and ancient Japanese elements in new forms and shapes were incorporated to capture the essence of Atlantis — the wonder, the water and the sense of discovery,” he explains.
According to Chung, interior design in an F&B outlet needs to “underscore and enforce the food concept to make it a complete dining experience”.
“The secret to creating a successful outlet interior is efficiency and sophistication,” he adds. “The design of the room has to enhance the customer’s experience.”
