The flagship location of CÉ LA VI
CÉ LA VI’s flagship location is located in Singapore and the Dubai location strikes a resemblance. The NEOM location would be second in the Middle East. Their other locations include Taipei and Tokyo.
Mark Bedingham in an interview with Arabian Business during the opening of the Dubai location in 2020 said that he is happy to keep Cé La Vi’s entry into the Middle East exclusive.
“It’s obviously very similar to Singapore, we basically say, we’re a three-in-one concept. We’re looking to have extraordinary food, to have a great wine list and selection of cocktails, and great music, but also a great vista. They are pretty spectacular and very spectacular at night,” Bedingham said.
The Dubai location is known for its iconic swing with the Burj Khalifa in view, the spot is also widely popular for its Champagne Brunches, DJs, live entertainment, cocktail selection and Michelin-star food.
