Dubai’s shopping hotspot Mall of the Emirates has ramped up its offering with the launch of The 9, a super-suave private members club that brings together all your retail, dining and pampering needs under one stylish roof. Home to Sergio Nesci tailoring, a personal stylist and a private shopping team, members at The 9 will have their sartorial needs taken care of while they relax away from the hubbub of the mall or visit The Barber for a trim.
Central to The 9 is fine dining Mediterranean restaurant Garth, where Moscow chef Sergei Andreychenko presents a menu of seasonal dishes from Italy, Greece and the south of France, accompanied by choice beverages and an eclectic soundtrack.
The 9 also has a meeting room and its own private guest suite for overnight stays, as well as a cigar lounge and library. But it’s the soft touches that set this club apart: there’s a gift-wrapping and premium repair service, complimentary valet parking for members, airport check-in and a programme of events that will include talks and panel discussions, tastings and workshops, as well as exclusive events hosted by some of the luxury retailers in Mall of the Emirates.
