At 442 metres (1,350 feet) high on Level 122 of Burj Khalifa, At.mosphere integrates two choices – lounge & grill. The restaurant can host over 210 guests and features a spacious arrival lobby, a main dining floor, private dining rooms and display cooking stations.

The entrance to the restaurant is through Burj Khalifa’s Corporate Suites lobby with guests exiting the express elevator on Level 123 to face a two-storey glass atrium. A flight of cantilevered staircases lead them to the arrival lobby where they can enjoy panoramic views of the city.

Casual and friendly staff members greet guests, who can choose from the lounge or the grill experience. The At.mosphere grill emphasises on fresh products and healthy, simple cooking – grilled, broiled or baked. The food choice is complemented by an extensive beverage selection.

The upscale At.mosphere lounge pushes the boundaries of conventional lounges, and serves as an ideal stopover for a light lunch or even an afternoon tea. At night, the mood shifts with magnificent views of the city adding to the ambience.
