Bella

The sunset blushes over the shimmering waters of the Dubai, whilst the last rays of light mirror themselves in the blueish windows of tall skyscrapers. Enter the Grand Millennium Hotel Business Bay and take the lift to the 19th floor for an out-of-the-ordinary dining experience at the city’s new social hotspot: Bella.

Named after an Italian socialite, the venue spreads across two distinct spaces.  First, a loft-like lounge, where a private dining table presides above the retro-lit amber bar, dining alcoves and DJ booth.  Then an effortlessly elegant dining room and bar, overlooking the hypnotic Dubai skyline and iconic Burj Khalifa.

Bella is glamorous, daring and confident.  Her personality translates into every aspect of the restaurant and lounge she created: a casual yet refined ambience, an authentic Italian cuisine signed by award-winning Chef Alessandro Miceli and supported by the timeless service and care of Stefano , intense wines, hand-crafted cocktails and an open-mindedness to the world that is Dubai.

“I wanted a place that could handle my mood swings, a place where I could really reach for the stars.” says Bella.  So, whether you are into chilled after-works, feeling like a flirt at the bar, going for a splurge at the VIP communal table or wanting the perfect date night while gazing at the city shimmers, all roads lead to Bella, where the sky is the limit…  Literally: with a glass ceiling that opens up fully to the Dubai skies.

The setting: Located on the 19th floor of the Grand Millennium Hotel Business Bay, the 130-seat venue is set in a loft-like décor of brown and gold tones, with state-of-the-art light effects and sound system. 

As you enter, the lavish lounge spreads before you, featuring an amber retro-lit bar, above which the communal VIP table presides, facing the DJ booth. Whether guests want to mingle or flirt, this is the relaxed yet refined space for Bellas and Bellos.

On the skyline side, the restaurant overlooks the city sparkles, providing guests with an effortlessly elegant environment to dine and wine, while experiencing the service ceremonial carefully orchestrated by Stefano Bassanese.
