Dubai, UAE – Holiday Inn Dubai Business Bay, the recent addition to IHG Hotel & Resort’s Essentials Collection in Dubai – and the first to introduce the innovative Open Lobby concept – is elevating the hospitality F&B scene in the heart of the emirate with its exceptional line-up of on-site eateries.

Catering to families, as well as business and leisure travellers, Holiday Inn Dubai Business Bay is poised to deliver creative and contemporary dining experiences marked by the hotel’s commitment to personal service and warm hospitality.

Commenting on its stellar selection of restaurants, Bruno Hivon, General Manager, said: “We’re delighted to welcome guests and visitors to the new Holiday Inn Dubai Business Bay to experience internationally inspired cuisines. With three distinct dining concepts, the hotel caters to a diverse range of palates and preferences. Casual sophistication meets culinary delight at Brasserie On 1, La Plancha Terraza Mexicana transports diners to the vibrant streets of Mexico, and our artisan bakery, Crumbs!, is open 24/7. Combined with our recent launch and the debut of the Open Lobby, we are confident that our property brings something unique to the city’s business district.”

A TASTE of Europe at Brasserie on 1

The hotel’s signature restaurant, Brasserie On 1, offers indulgent and modern European cuisine, including rosemary-baked Camembert, steamed moules marinieres, and steak frites, along with desserts such as classic crème brûlée. With a casual yet sophisticated atmosphere, the chic restaurant and cocktail bar serve as the perfect backdrop for a laid-back meal with friends or a memorable night out with family, bringing the best of European flavours, techniques, and traditions to its dishes.

La Plancha Terraza Mexicana Brings the Latin American Heat

 La Plancha Terraza Mexicana, a Mexican street food restaurant, is another venue-of-note in the hotel. Known for its authentic take on classic Mexican delicacies and its mouth-watering live grills, the restaurant uses a style of food preparation called La Plancha, which consists of combining high temperatures with a dash of smoke for maximum heat and flavour.

The must-try menu – which spans the restaurant and pool bar – pays homage to traditional taquerias, cantinas, and street-side carts in Latin America, with a playful and modern twist that appeals to the hotel’s international guest population. La Plancha also offers an extensive beverage menu, with a selection of mocktails, margaritas, tequila, mezcal, and Mexican sodas.

Crumbs! – Something Sweet, Any Hour of the Day

To complement the vibrancy of Brasserie on 1 and La Plancha Terraza Mexicana, Holiday Inn Dubai Business Bay houses Crumbs!, a cosy 24-hour artisan bakery and neighbourhood café. With filled-to-the-brim bagels, freshly baked breads, light bites, comforting soups, fresh salads, and a stunning array of cakes and pastries, the bakery provides the perfect setting for an afternoon of work, a hearty lunch, or a quick grab-and-go bite, satisfying guest cravings any time of the day or night.

Crumbs! is located on the lobby level. Open 24/7.

Arjun Singh, Executive Chef, said: “As we celebrate the launch of Holiday Inn Dubai Business Bay’s restaurants, we’re thrilled to extend a series of seasonal offers to guests and visitors – including a daily happy hour special and an exclusive business lunch promo. Set against the backdrop of Dubai’s bustling downtown neighbourhood, these deals are thoughtfully designed to meet the needs of the surrounding professional community, with the hotel serving as a central hub for a quick midday bite or an evening drink to unwind after a long day at the office.”

Matthew Wakeford, F&B Manager, said: “Since its opening, Holiday Inn Dubai Business Bay has garnered popularity from residents of nearby neighbourhoods, as well as travellers seeking easy access to the city’s biggest attractions. Set apart by its much-loved ‘Kids Stay & Eat Free’* programme, the hotel continues to emerge as a destination of choice for guests and residents alike.”
