6)  NEOS, THE ADDRESS HOTEL DOWNTOWN BURJ DUBAI, UAE

As for Hukama at number 10, The Address’ Neos bar and lounge was designed by the team at WA International.

”All the restaurants and lounges of the hotel exude luxury and understated glamour, whilst retaining their individualities,” says WA International’s associate senior designer, Helen Skea.

In Neos, a ‘Sky Lounge’ located on the 63rd floor, the design firm “reinvented the outrageous decadence of the 1920’s in its adaptation of Art Deco opulence”, she explains.

“Glistening black star galaxy granite flooring creates a base for the mirror polished steel banded columns rising dramatically through the interior, which enhance the sultry monochromatic colour palette of black, silver, grey with a hint of rich burgundy to add warmth,” Skea continues.

“With restaurants and lounges in fierce competition within this region, people are always looking for something different. There has to be impeccable service, fabulous food, value for money — and all of these needs to be housed within a uniquely special interior.

“The design of interior spaces is therefore crucial to a space which not only attracts guests in the first place, but it also needs to be kept up-to-date to ensure clients keep coming back. “
