Dubai World Cup hospitality, making that perfect day at the races

Meydan Racecourse, the home of the Dubai Racing Club and the Dubai World Cup, is acknowledged internationally for its outstanding hospitality facilities. A variety of hospitality package badges are available for purchase, along with your Dubai World Cup tickets, covering an exceptional spread of high quality venues. Stylish comfort in which you and your guests get the opportunity to experience the sheer crackling excitement that pervades this pinnacle of Dubai’s racing calendar.

Racegoers will be able to indulge their taste buds through a wide range of tailored Dubai World Cup hospitality packages based in and around a string of top-class restaurants, lounges and private suites all of them enjoying spectacular views of the racetrack. Get a close to the racing action from Apron Views or Premium Seating as horses and jockeys thunder past melded into equestrian works of art. Alternatively mingle with the world’s racing community elite in the luxurious Meydan Grandstand suite.

Premium Seating

The Premium Seating area is situated opposite the finish line and adjacent to the Parade Ring, it offers inclusive selected food and beverage, fantastic views of the horseracing and individual horses as well as the Dubai World Cup Ceremony entertainment programme. Guests are totally engaged with an electric atmosphere which always surrounds the event in this outdoor area (the application of sunscreen is encouraged) from the comfort of individually numbered seats, reserved for them throughout the entire day. Gourmet food and beverages are readily available from an indoor section directly behind the seats, while food can either be enjoyed in an air conditioned interior or among the outside seats in order not to miss the racing. The associated package badge also allows guests access to the Apron Views area and the Parade Ring Lawns.

The Gallery

The Gallery is located just beyond the finish line and with selected food and beverage included, offers a fine view of both horseracing and the scheduled Dubai World Cup Ceremony entertainment. This is an outdoor area where guests can embrace the vibrant race-day atmosphere from the comfort of free grandstand seats. This is probably an ideal point, to remind the now undoubtedly salivating reader to buy those Dubai World Cup tickets tout suite and guarantee your attendance.

Interior areas behind the seats house the source of readily available food and beverages, which guests may enjoy indoors under air conditioning or if determined not to miss any of the racing action, then outside (guests are recommended to bring sunscreen) at their free seat. The package badge will also allow them access to the Apron Views area and the Parade Ring Lawns.

Restaurant & Dining Packages

The Meydan Grandstand contains two excellent restaurants, The Meydan Room located on the Ground Floor and the Tiered Restaurant on Level 2. Both created with elegant and stylish décor, inviting diners into a relaxed ambience with pristine views of the racing activity. An alternative offering is the Meydan Terrace which provides a buffet dining experience for groups of up to 10 persons; it too has its own private Grandstand seating. Dubai World Cup hospitality raises the bar on a racing experience.

Tiered Restaurant

Designed as the signature dining establishment, Tiered Restaurant occupies levels 2 & 3 of the Meydan Grandstand, and features a completely glass fronted dining area. This architectural device affords each table across the four tiers a flawless racecourse view, together with the privacy to enjoy a superior hospitality offering. Guests also gain access to the Apron Views area and the Parade Ring lawns where they can take the opportunity for a close up inspection of the horses in the Parade Ring during the build up to post time. Dining begins with afternoon tea served at a private reserved table and progresses to a five course set menu inclusive of soft drinks and standard house beverages. Bottles of Champagne may be purchased on the day from the premium list.

First Class Lounge

Situated on Level 3 of the magnificent Meydan Grandstand, the First Class Lounge for many represents the perfect choice for a fashionably elegant Dubai World Cup experience in this exclusive lounge & bar, with its outside terrace and track facing balcony on the final bend of the track. Guests are able to watch the horses run past in a thunder of hooves on their way to the finish line. A gourmet International buffet is served throughout the day, as are standard house beverages; Champagne is also purchasable from the premium list. In this instance, lounge seating is not reserved which enables guests to move around throughout the day and the associated badge will also allow guests access to the Apron Views area and the Parade Ring Lawns. Remembering that you will need to grab those Dubai World Cup tickets in the very near future

The Meydan Room

An exclusive suite located on Level 5. Enjoy premium Dubai World Cup hospitality, in parallel with private but breath-taking views of the racetrack. Tables at the Meydan Room are reserved and guests also enjoy access to the outdoor Grandstand seating, which allows them to absorb all the excitement of a great horseracing occasion. The location provides a prime view overlooking both the Parade Ring and the Dubai World Cup Ceremony entertainment programme. This hospitality package includes afternoon tea, an international buffet, standard house beverages and champagne and gives guests a badge for access to the Apron Views area and the Parade Ring Lawns.

Meydan Terrace & Meydan Terrace Preferred

These dining areas are populated with corporate round tables, each one accommodating 10 people, normally reserved for the day under either a company or family name. As well as offering a wide selection of seating choices, Meydan Terrace also includes its own free seating area that stretches from the middle to the end of the Grandstand with seating capacity for around 1,700 people. While Meydan Terrace Preferred enjoys its own free 360 person Grandstand seating allocation exclusive to Meydan Terrace Preferred Patrons. As a result, guests in either area gain the opportunity to roam locations throughout the day with consistently excellent views of the racetrack and exciting horseracing. On the menu is afternoon tea followed by an International dinner buffet inclusive of soft drinks and standard house beverages, Champagne as ever is available for purchase from the premium list on the day. Guests holding either package badge are also allowed access to the Apron Views area and Parade Ring Lawns.

Sky Bubble

The Sky Bubble resides at an elevation marginally below Meydan’s dramatic crescent roof with a 360 degree vista of Dubai’s skyline. It is the place to savour a fork buffet, canapés, live cooking stations, selected beverages and soft drinks, but above all enjoy a superb day of horseracing. Given a free seating approach toward lounge and table set-up, guests are free to switch seats during the day. The badge package also enables access to Apron Views, a natural focal point for socialising, along with the Parade Ring Lawns.

Meydan Grandstand Suites

The Meydan Grandstand offers a total of 72 luxurious grand suites presenting an ideal guest entertainment facility – spectacular views, racing thrills and fine food. Suite dimensions start from 50 square metres hosting 10 guests, up to 415 square metres with space for 500 people. Located on Levels 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7, all suite spaces are interconnected, enabling their amalgamation into extended configurations that facilitate either larger parties or create extra room for exclusive gatherings.

Elegant luxury is the watchword for the suites on Levels 3, 4 and 5 which feature their own private terrace seating areas while alternative options on Levels 6 and 7 each have their own private balcony area. All of which offer tremendous views of the Meydan Racecourse and more importantly, action on the track. Grandstand Suites package badge holders for Levels 3 to 7 have access to the Apron Views area and Parade Ring Lawns.

Dedicated catering staff will be assigned to serve hosts and their guests throughout the evening with a selection of food from a suite-specific ‘International Buffet’ station.

At the suites, you can enjoy your perfect day at the races in the company of family, friends or work colleagues. With such a diverse array of social and dining options literally at your fingertips, I can only urge you to guarantee that perfection and purchase those Dubai World Cup tickets without delay.
