Mall of the Emirates has added a new place for the elite to unwind: The 9.
It’s the shopping destination’s exclusive new luxury private members’ club, the first of its kind in the region, combining social and business facilities.
The 9 has got a neo-bistro indoor and outdoor dining restaurant and café called GARTH, along with a garden terrace, plush cigar lounge and library lounge space.
The space’s Mediterranean restaurant, GARTH, sees Moscow chef, Sergei Andreychenko and a team of sommeliers and mixologists assemble to offer an array of menus for the club’s members to choose from, sourcing seasonal ingredients for dishes combining Italian, Greek and Southern French cuisine. Music will focus on wave funk, soul, jazz, disco and afrobeat.
The space will also be fitted with a world-class tailor, offering bespoke garments, a personal stylist service, with an expert personal shopping team on hand to select some of the most extraordinary products from across the mall, catered to their individual tastes.
“Here at Mall of the Emirates, we are committed to using vision-driven innovations to create immersive experiences that are personalised, premium, and memorable and The 9 is a great example of this. We undertook considerable consumer research which told us there was a gap in the market for a luxurious space of this nature, within a shopping mall. We look forward to welcoming members to the result of that research and to the unique community we are creating here within The 9.” said Hussain Moosa at Majid Al Futtaim Properties – Director, Mall of the Emirates said.
Other facilities at the lounge include a concierge service, a barbering space offering food and drink to order, a cigar lounge, and a meeting room. In addition, members can explore a library, games space and a sleeping suite.
Value added benefits also include a premium repair service, gift wrapping, complimentary valet parking, airport check-in, and private experiences across Mall of the Emirates attractions.
The space is also set to host a series of exclusive launches and previews from some of Mall of the Emirates’ luxury retailers, alongside talks and panel discussions with business leaders, tastings, workshops and more.
Applications for membership are now being accepted.
