High Society – A Nocturnal Oasis Above The City
Perched atop The Lana in Downtown Dubai, High Society transforms from a chic poolside lounge by day to an adults-only rooftop sanctuary after 5 p.m. in 2025. Under the direction of Michelin-starred chef Jean Imbert—renowned for his work at Plaza Athénée in Paris and voted Chef of the Year 2019 by GQ—High Society elevates indulgence with culinary artistry that emphasizes simple yet authentic flavors.
Menu highlights include the croque-caviar, where golden brioche is layered with Oscietra caviar, and seared scallops delicately drizzled with truffle oil. The wine list, curated by sommelier Claire Dubois, features rare Champagnes like Krug Clos du Mesnil, meticulously paired with each dish. The sleek infinity pool, mirroring the Burj Khalifa, sets a cinematic scene complemented by intimate dining pods softly illuminated under starlight.
Since its relaunch in March 2025, High Society has emerged as a magnet for Dubai’s affluent crowd, recording a 15% increase in reservations from global jet-setters. Tables are booked weeks in advance, underscoring Dubai’s mastery in blending high gastronomy with breathtaking vistas. The venue’s beverage menu extends beyond rare Champagnes to include cocktails and spirits inspired by ancient sun-worshipping civilizations—offering guests a sensory experience that transcends conventional rooftop dining.
