Mott 32 Dubai, located on the 73rd floor of the Address Beach Resort, JBR, features an impressive indoor area, as well as an open-air terrace with stunning views across Bluewater Island, JBR, Palm Jumeirah and the Ain Dubai.

Vibrant and energetic, the venue is named after the address of Manhattan’s first Chinese convenience store, which opened in 1891. Inspiration for the dynamic cosmopolitan vibe hails from the spot that marks the centre of the city’s Chinatown today.

Designed by the highly acclaimed team at Joyce Wang Studio, the opulent East-meets-West design seamlessly fuses a lofty New York industrial style with the grand city scape of Hong Kong. Telling the story of Hong Kong’s past, the space is imbued with a sleekness and elegance, paying homage to the traditional Chinese aesthetic of the original Mott 32, transporting guests into an immersive journey.

Leaning into the elevated, sky-high location and ocean view of Mott 32 Dubai, Joyce Wang Studio has introduced an airy, ethereal aesthetic with roots in nature - uniting the design concept with the natural surroundings visible through the large sliding doors and the urban jungle terrace. The sculptural forms defining the side dining space echo the fluidity of the ocean, and the studio uses delicate current ringlets to house the pendant lights.
