It seems Dubaians’ love of ice knows no bounds as the city recently opened a chill-out lounge entirely made of ice. Named Chillout, it’s a 2,400-square-foot restaurant where everything from walls, tables, chairs, cups, glasses, plates to the art on the wall and the beaded curtains are made of ice.
If you go out to dine in this chill-out ice bar, you’ll have to sit on ice benches or chairs, eat at ice tables, in ice plates and drink from ice glasses. You can get a drink, the rental of a hooded parka, woolen gloves and insulated shoes for $17. Hot drinks and food, from an Asian fusion menu are served in stainless steel thermos containers but the temperature inside will make these cold within 15 minutes.
Diffused lighting, from low-heat LED bulbs, constantly changes colors as it filters through the ice blocks. To prevent body heat from upsetting the atmosphere of the lounge, the maximum of 45 people are allowed.
With the world’s tallest building, the largest shopping mall on the cards, the largest snowdome in the world and the planned theme parks, you’re kind of left wondering what could be coming to the city next. Anyways for now, Chillout is a great relief for people from the soaring temperature!
