Marina Social will celebrate Chef Jason Atherton’s unique British deformalised style of dining

Intercontinental Dubai Marina unveils F&B outlets

DUBAI, March 31, 2015

InterContinental Dubai Marina, a luxury hotel in the UAE emirate, has unveiled its collection of food and beverage (F&B) restaurants.
 
The hotel will host nine diverse food and beverage offerings, welcoming residents, guests, and visitors to enjoy a variety of exciting gastronomic experiences. Additionally, the 328-key hotel will offer nine meeting rooms, Spa and Gym and outdoor pool facilities.

Headlining the hotel’s vast F&B offering will be Marina Social Restaurant and The Social Room Bar that will mark celebrity Chef Jason Atherton’s entrance into the region. Internationally celebrated for his unique British deformalised style of dining, Marina Social will launch in September and will operate for dinner and drinks from 6:30 pm to 11:30 pm.

“Dubai’s growing gastro scene needed something new and exciting,” said James Worthington, director of F&B, InterContinental Dubai Marina.
 
“With Marina Social, we’re really stepping it up a notch, providing diners with an entirely new dining concept that will set a new benchmark to Dubai’s culinary offering,” he said.
 
InterContinental Dubai Marina will also house Accents Restaurant & Deli, open daily from 6.30 am to 11 pm. Inspired by international cuisine, the 160-seat restaurant, including an outdoor terrace will offer buffet options for breakfast and an a la carte lunch and dinner. One of the unique highlights of Accents will be the open kitchen bar, from which diners will be able to pick fresh ingredients and witness them being prepared and cooked to perfection by the restaurant’s expert team of chefs, before being served to diners alongside a wide selection of beverages.

Ginter, a relaxed bar venue serving a range of international light bite dishes, will be located just off the hotel’s lobby and caters up to 50 guests, from 12 pm to 2 am. With a more intimate, casual feel, Ginter will present one of the largest collections of gin in Dubai, specialising in gin-based cocktails and not forgetting the vast array of tonics along with many more favourites.
 
“Diners in Dubai are looking for more than traditional fine dining. They are increasingly expecting ‘3D’ dining experiences, that not only excite the taste buds but also the visual senses,” Worthington said. The hotel group’s 3D dining concept emphasises the combination of delivering a global, local, and personalised experience, by which all senses are stimulated.

“Here at InterContinental Dubai Marina we will be reinvigorating the Marina’s dining scene, offering a variety of options from more formal to relaxed, as we welcome our resident guests, along with the larger UAE community,” he said.   
The lobby lounge will be known as the Gallery Lounge, open from 8 am to 11 pm every day, and will serve light snacks and refreshments throughout the day, an ideal location for an informal meeting or to simply catch up on your thoughts.

Located within the hotel lobby will be Accents Deli, open daily from 7.30 am to 11.00 pm. Serving a delicious range of pastries and sandwiches, the Deli is set to be the perfect stop for people looking for a quick coffee or relaxed catch-up with a friend whilst in the Marina. Additionally, those looking to experience the signature Middle Eastern relaxing time will be able to enjoy the Urban Shisha Lounge: the ideal place to gather with friends, or for business, and simply sit back and chill. Alternatively, the Urban Lounge will be open by the pool, offering drinks and snacks during the evening on weekends.
 
Finally, YNot Bar & Kitchen, the hotel’s stunning waterfront wine bar, will stock a fabulous range of international grapes, hand chosen by the in-house F&B manager, Julien Coron. The bar will also include a state-of-the-art dispenser offering 24 individual wines by the glass. Y-not will serve a variety of international tapas-style dishes, providing the perfect accompaniment to the beverages on offer.
