The Lounge at Burj Khalifa spans floors 152, 153, and 154 at a maximum height of 585 metres (1,919 feet) — the world’s highest lounge, recognised by Guinness World Records. It serves premium cocktails, mocktails, afternoon tea, and gourmet canapés with panoramic floor-to-ceiling glass views of Dubai’s skyline, desert, and the Arabian Gulf. An outdoor terrace is accessible from The Lounge. Live entertainment on selected evenings. Reservations required; smart casual dress code. The Lounge is separate from observation deck tickets.
The Lounge sits above the At the Top SKY deck on floor 148 and the corporate suites on floors 149–151. At 585 metres, it holds 30 metres of altitude over the floor 148 SKY observation deck and 143 metres over At.mosphere restaurant on floor 122. The experience is intimate, exclusive, and designed around the views — the highest cocktail you can order in any permanent venue in the world.

Smart casual is the minimum for The Lounge. No shorts, flip-flops, sleeveless tops, sportswear, or beachwear. Men: collared shirts or smart tops with trousers or chinos. Women: dresses, smart trousers and blouses, or equivalent. The dress code is enforced. Given the elevated pricing and intimate atmosphere of The Lounge, the majority of guests arrive in smart casual or above regardless.
At 585 metres, The Lounge offers the highest publicly accessible view in the Burj Khalifa — above the floor 148 observation deck and 143 metres above At.mosphere restaurant. The floor-to-ceiling glass spans all sides. On clear winter days (November to March), the Hajar Mountains on the UAE/Oman border are visible to the east; the Gulf coast stretches in a visible arc to the west. The illuminated city at night, from this height, is extraordinary. See our views from Burj Khalifa guide for what’s visible at different heights.
The Lounge includes access to an outdoor terrace — at this height, one of the world’s highest outdoor publicly accessible areas. The terrace is smaller than the floor 124 outdoor deck but offers an open-air experience at 585 metres that very few people on the planet have access to. For guests visiting on clear evenings, the outdoor terrace provides unobstructed views of the illuminated skyline and the Arabian Gulf at a height that no restaurant or lounge elsewhere in the world can match.
The Lounge serves premium cocktails and mocktails, champagne and sparkling wine, a curated afternoon tea, and gourmet canapés and light bites. The food offering is grazing and social rather than full-course dining — The Lounge is a bar and lounge experience, not a restaurant. For a full sit-down dining experience at altitude,
At.mosphere on floor 122 is the right venue.
Selected evenings at The Lounge feature live music or entertainment — typically light jazz, acoustic, or ambient performances suited to the intimate atmosphere. Check the schedule at the time of booking if live entertainment is important to your visit.
