A substantial private members club in ICD Brookfield Place, combining restaurants, lounges, art and cultural programming. The London institution’s first international outpost brought a fully developed, multi-floor club model to Dubai’s financial district.
The Story
Origin
Opened in 2020 as the first international outpost of The Arts Club, the London institution founded in 1863.
Philosophy
Private membership provides the framework for an ongoing social and cultural relationship, rather than a series of isolated restaurant visits.
Why Important
A major reference point for Dubai’s private-club sector. It shows how dining, design, culture and professional social life can operate as one sustained hospitality ecosystem.
Differentiation
It combines the heritage of a London club with the scale and mixed-use setting of DIFC, offering a broader membership proposition than a single restaurant or nightlife venue.
Food Philosophy
Multiple dining concepts accommodate different occasions within the same club, making food central to members’ everyday use of the property.
Guest Experience
Members move between dining rooms, lounges and terraces, with cultural events and evening entertainment extending the reasons to return.
Design Philosophy
Dimorestudio translates the layered character of a traditional private club into a contemporary Dubai setting through colour, art and richly furnished rooms.
Design & Architecture
Lighting
Decorative fixtures and intimate pools of light help distinguish dining and lounge settings.
Furniture
A mix of dining furniture, lounge chairs and sofas supports both formal meals and extended social visits.
Materials
Rich upholstery, wood and polished decorative finishes contribute to a residential rather than corporate atmosphere.
Architecture
A multi-floor club within ICD Brookfield Place, with indoor hospitality spaces complemented by outdoor terraces.
Design Language
Layered contemporary club interiors with a strong mid-century sensibility.
Interior Design
Dimorestudio uses contrasting colours, patterned surfaces, art and varied seating arrangements to give individual rooms distinct personalities.
Graphic Identity
The established Arts Club name anchors the Dubai property to the institution’s London heritage.
