About SLS Dubai
- Fi'lia Dubai was the first restaurant in the Middle East to be run entirely by a female kitchen team; head chef Sara Aqbal was later promoted to Global Executive Chef for all Fi'lia locations worldwide.
- The Sky Lobby sits on the 71st floor, so guests check in above the clouds, with Burj Khalifa views at eye level rather than from below.
- Carna by Dario Cecchini, SLS Dubai's steakhouse, is named after the Italian butcher from Panzano in Chianti whose shop has been in his family for eight generations and who is widely called the world's most famous butcher.
History
SLS Dubai opened in 2021 as a 75-story luxury hotel in Business Bay and quickly became known for its sky-high public spaces, including a 71st-floor Sky Lobby and twin rooftop infinity pools. The property is operated under the SLS Hotels brand and emphasizes theatrical design, nightlife, and panoramic Burj Khalifa views. Official pages do not credit a specific architect or interior designer, but they do highlight the tower’s distinctive vertical hotel concept and high-altitude amenities. Fi’lia Dubai has also emerged as a signature dining venue, and the hotel markets itself as a destination for events, dining, and social experiences.
The setting
Marasi Drive, Business Bay, the canal district south of Downtown. Check-in is on 71; the Burj is at eye level, not a postcard from the desert.
