For Fashionable Dining
At the foot of Vida Downtown Dubai, you’ll find some of the city’s most sought-after dining spots, including modern izakaya-style dining at Toko, freshly baked bread and French fare at La Serre Bistro & Boulangerie, and Arabian-inspired and continental cuisine such as falafel or grilled salmon at Vida’s first-floor terrace restaurant 3in1.
To Mingle by the Pool
For those staycationers seeking a laptop-free experience, the Vida Downtown Dubai pool is a top-notch hangout. Open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., the outdoor pool offers beautiful views of Burj Khalifa and comfortable daybeds, while, post-sunset, it becomes a chic place to see and be seen.
To Stay Productive
Just a short buggy ride away from the hotel is The Pavilion Downtown Dubai. High-speed Wi-Fi and spacious worktables make this the ideal spot for your weekend pop-up office. Just ask the Vida concierge to arrange a buggy from the hotel to The Pavilion for seamless transportation.
