NABNI Developments

Following the 2024 signing of a milestone partnership between NABNI Developments and Hilton, sales have officially opened for the premium-luxury 146-unit Waldorf Astoria Residences Dubai Business Bay.

Designed by celebrated international architect Carlos Ott and featuring interiors by world-renowned hospitality design firm Hirsch Bedner Associates (HBA), the 65-storey Residences will be the second tallest residential tower in the Business Bay/Downtown Dubai district upon planned handover in Q4 2029. It is Waldorf Astoria’s first standalone residence project outside of the US.

Inspired by Waldorf Astoria’s 130-year five-star hospitality history, Ott’s sleek, sculptural design is a contemporary interpretation that reflects Dubai’s future-forward vision and celebrates the connection between nature and timeless sophistication. Interiors draw on Art Nouveau and Art Deco design motifs synonymous with Waldorf Astoria’s design language, artfully paired with elements reflective of the city’s modernity.

A total of 146 units are available across three distinct collections: The Signature Collection, one to three-bedroom residences; Sky Collection, four-bedroom residences, multi-level sky villas, and sky mansions; and a singularly exceptional Sky Palace occupying four dedicated floors with 360-degree city views.

Commenting on the announcement, Abdulrahman Abdulla Alhelo Alsuwaidi, Co-Founder & Chairman, NABNI Developments, said: “As a visionary Emirati developer committed to delivering timeless design-driven homes, our partnership with Hilton is elevating Dubai’s branded residences market by setting a new benchmark for luxury hospitality-led excellence, anchored by more than a century of Waldorf Astoria service and legacy experience. This translates perfectly to the residential market and, more specifically to Dubai’s incredibly competitive premium real estate landscape. Recent data from property consultancy Global Branded Residences revealed a 43 per cent year-on-year increase in 2024 in the sale of branded units, with this figure set to more than double in the next five years. With the global high-net worth investor community looking to Dubai as a highly sought-after location for portfolio expansion, or as a desirable second home destination, the debut of the Waldorf Astoria Residences brand is a natural fit with current market dynamics.

“NABNI Developments’ ambition to lead the region’s branded residences segment through architectural mastery, service excellence, and unmatched attention to detail, is exemplified in this exciting project, which is a regional first in terms of scale and exclusivity; and set to become an enduring landmark on the Dubai skyline.”

Each of the Waldorf Astoria Residences Dubai Business Bay residences optimise Burj Khalifa views and offer the ultimate in ultra-luxury living while being effortlessly practical. Premium materials and innovative design come as standard with unique features including reserved lift access that takes residents, and their guests, to their private apartment lobby entrance. 

Exclusive leisure amenities include the world’s highest Golf in the Sky simulator experience (270 metres); adult-only and family swimming pools plus private cabanas; the Waldorf Astoria spa and wellness centre; fitness and yoga studios; and a meditation deck. Residents enjoy personal concierge and housekeeping services and will also be able to book a private Waldorf Astoria chef dining experience, along with on-request services such as pet care, personal assistant and secretarial support, personal driver, in-home spa treatments, private fitness training, and more.

With ground-breaking scheduled to begin in June 2025, NABNI Developments has also opened a dedicated sales centre located in the Business Bay district. The new 1,000-square metre Sales Experience Centre allows investors to take a 3D interactive walk through the project and unit options, as well as an interactive scale model area.

STUDIO WYZE UNVEILS INTERIORS OF TATTU DUBAI

Published

Luxury restaurant interior with ornate decorative ceiling, floor-to-ceiling windows, and panoramic Dubai cityscape views at twilight

Studio WYZE, the interior design firm with studios in London and Zurich, has unveiled the interiors for Permanently Unique Group’s TATTU Dubai. The scope includes a restaurant and bar, an infinity pool, and a sky lounge and terrace in Dubai Marina. It marks TATTU’S eagerly anticipated expansion beyond the UK, where the brand operates several well-known restaurants. Located within the Ciel Dubai Marina, which towers 365 metres above the bustling Dubai Marina, Studio WYZE has designed interiors inspired by legend, with each floor offering a distinct atmosphere: from the dragon’s graceful elegance to the carp’s serenity and the phoenix’s lively energy.

Guests arrive through a dramatic triple-height atrium, conceived as a contemporary interpretation of a Chinese courtyard and anchored by Tattu’s signature sweeping cherry blossom tree above the main reception. Flanking this central space, dedicated reception areas invite exploration of the multi-storey dining and bar experiences. Spanning three levels, TATTU Dubai offers panoramic views across the Palm, with front-row seats for the city’s spectacular sunsets. Completing the experience, two private dining rooms provide intimate, elevated settings where storytelling, symbolism, and atmosphere come together in perfect harmony.

High up in the clouds, on the 74th floor, the richly atmospheric TATTU Restaurant & Bar draws inspiration from ancient mythology. The restaurant offers Tattu’s signature modern Asian cuisine, skilfully blending traditional flavours with innovative presentation. Inspired by the black and white dragon, the restaurant’s duality of light and dark is further emphasised by captivating views of Dubai Marina, The Palm, and Jumeirah. The Black Dragon Dining Room features a striking ceiling inspired by a dragon in motion, showcasing organic design. The flowing shapes are smoothly reflected on the columns and walls, creating a cohesive and inviting dining experience. The adjoining White Dragon Sunset Lounge provides a visual contrast to the black dragon, symbols of duality and balance: the Yin & Yang. 

Studio WYZE’s Co-founder and Principal Chris Sayce comments on TATTU Restaurant & Bar’s material palette, saying: “The restaurant adopts a strikingly moody palette – featuring Shou-Sugi-Ban charred Japanese Cedar timber, richly veined marble, amethyst glass, and custom wallpapers – materials that reflect the depth of the black dragon. In contrast, the bar is shaped by the white dragon’s influence, with a lighter palette of white-washed timber, onyx, mirror and pewter.”

Continuing the theme of contrasts, the Private Dining Room offers a cosier, home-like atmosphere with stunning views of The Palm. Lacquered timber panels and intricate fretwork, paired with oversized hanging lanterns and an impressive table made of cut Avalanche Quartzite, a modern take on traditional Chinese design, blending contemporary and cultural elements.

At level 76, the TATTU Sky Pool has earned the accolade of the world’s highest infinity pool. While the restaurant and bar draw inspiration from the mythical dragon, the interiors of the TATTU Sky Pool are inspired by the elegant carp. This symbolic narrative runs through every part of the space, featuring a colour palette of aqua tones, glazed ceramics, white-washed timbers, rattan, and flowing off-white fabrics. The Japanese-fusion Tattu Sky Pool Restaurant offers an ideal setting for daytime dining, inviting guests to relax among the clouds. The exterior design remains cohesive, with a feature cocktail bar and lounge, and a central circular DJ booth creating an energetic oasis above the clouds. The terrace is surrounded by lush planting, providing an escape from the city below.

Perched on Level 81 at the very top of Ciel Tower Dubai Marina, the TATTU Sky Lounge & Terrace crowns the TATTU experience. Inspired by the phoenix, it seamlessly shifts from an elegant daytime cocktail lounge to a lively nightclub after dark. Studio WYZE designed a striking ceiling resembling a rising birdcage, curving inward from the walls to meet above a centrally positioned backlit pink onyx bar. The softly glowing bar acts as a beacon, crowning the top of Ciel Tower. The bar serves as both a focal point and a sculptural highlight. Its 360-degree, air-conditioned terrace provides dramatic views of Dubai’s famous skyline.

Studio WYZE’s Co-founder and Principal Christina Arbenz, describes the experiential journey as guests move through the Tattu Sky Lounge & Terrace: “Guests are greeted with a vibrant colour palette, tactile fabric-fronted bar, rich textural carpets, and heavily veined marbles, which infuse the space with energy and personality. A setting designed for unforgettable nights high above the city. From the lively interior, guests can flow into the perimeter gallery, a wraparound terrace offering 360-degree views of Dubai. Here, the phoenix narrative extends into the landscape — with Jurassic-style planting and plush lounge seating, creating a surreal ‘roof-top’ orangery.”

With TATTU Dubai, Studio WYZE has created more than just a dining experience; it offers a multi-sensory journey through myth, artistry, and breathtaking views, with each floor telling its own story and shaping a unique atmosphere. From the elegant black and white dragons to the serene carp, and the vibrant energy of the phoenix, the experience elevates – both literally and figuratively – to the very heights of Dubai’s skyline. It is a striking showcase of design and storytelling that redefines what it means to dine, drink, and reside among the clouds.
