Fodor's Expert Review Estrella's Skyline Lounge
Bur Dubai and the South Bank
Until Meliá opened in Bur Dubai, it was hard to find any semblance of "new Dubai" within this venerable district. Estrella’s might be in Old Dubai, but it definitely looks forward, and even has the new Dubai view of spiky skyscrapers to complete the image. The lounge centers on the rooftop pool, and is bathed in pink ambient light. Come for a sundowner, enjoy tunes mixed by a DJ, (often with a subcontinental flavor), and stay for some very decent bar food and shisha.
