Icy Dubai

Icy sits inside the Fairmont Hotel on Sheikh Zayed Road. It is a twenty-five-minute walk from both the Burj Khalifa and The Dubai Mall, placing it within reach of the downtown bustle without being trapped in the middle of the nightly tourist crush. The room runs smart and elegant, keeping the focus on its rotation of house music and dance hits.

While most clubs clustered around Dubai Opera rely on proximity to the major landmarks to sustain a crowd, Icy succeeds by offering a tighter, more controlled intensity. It is a better choice for those who want to avoid the sprawling, cavernous venues nearby. The floor is smaller and faster to fill, making it a more focused party for anyone tired of the aimless wandering required at its neighbors.
