Hakkasan back at Atlantis The Palm Dubai

Hakkasan back at Atlantis The Palm Dubai

Hakkasan is preparing to reopen at Atlantis The Palm on Palm Jumeirah. The National reported the return on 20 September 2026, with doors set for 23 September. The Michelin-starred Cantonese room will come back with signature dim sum, meat and seafood dishes, and a new drinks menu under executive chef Andy Toh.

This is a Palm night with a date on the calendar. Buyers who need Atlantis, a Cantonese client table, and a star that still means something now have a room about to open again. Sellers who hold fine Chinese craft, dim sum, or a bar that can carry a fresh list have a story with hours about to land.

Michelin Cantonese on Crescent Road

Hakkasan sits inside Atlantis The Palm on Crescent Road, Palm Jumeirah. The National frames it as one Michelin star and a summer pause that hit several Atlantis Dubai venues while the hotel reviewed operations against guest demand. The room is not a soft tease for next year. It is a known Palm address coming back this week.

The brand first arrived in the UAE in 2011 at Emirates Palace in Abu Dhabi, then moved to its current home at Atlantis The Palm. That path matters for buyers writing a brief. You can name Palm Jumeirah, Atlantis, Cantonese cooking, and a Michelin line without inventing a vibe.

Hakkasan Group still lists dinner Tuesday to Saturday from 6pm to 11.30pm, with the bar until 12.30am, and Monday plus Sunday closed. Confirm live hours when the doors open on 23 September. The story is already clear enough to brief a table.

Andy Toh, dim sum, and a fresh drinks list

Executive chef Andy Toh leads the kitchen. Representatives told The National the return brings signature dim sum, meat and seafood, and a new drinks menu. That is the emotional centre for guests who want Cantonese craft on the Palm, not another generic Asian brief.

Dim sum is the open. Meat and seafood hold the main. The drinks refresh is the night after the plate. Buyers tired of interchangeable “fine Chinese” rate cards finally have a named chef, a named hotel, and a date they can put in the diary.

The jeopardy for a buyer is always the same. Pick the wrong Friday and the table feels cold. Pick a room with a star, a Palm address, and a kitchen that already proved itself, and the night writes itself. Hakkasan sells the feeling of a serious Cantonese dinner first. The amenity list follows.

September on the Palm, the calendar fills

Conference season is back. September is when Dubai’s dining rooms wake up again. The National’s 20 September round-up places Hakkasan beside other returns across the Emirates, with a hard door date of 23 September at Atlantis The Palm.

Planners need tables that hold a client dinner without forcing everyone into DIFC or the Marina loop. A Palm Cantonese room with a Michelin star and a named chef is the kind of brief that used to die in forty WhatsApp threads named final. Now the date is public and the address is fixed.

Follow the Atlantis and Hakkasan channels for the night-to-night picture as the room comes back online. Book early if the brief is a Palm dinner that has to feel earned.

What this means for Kattegat buyers and sellers

Buyers, this is a story you feel before you open a rate card. Palm Jumeirah. Atlantis The Palm. Crescent Road. A Michelin-starred Cantonese room with chef Andy Toh, dim sum, and a new drinks list. Doors set for 23 September. When the brief is a Palm client table with serious Chinese craft, you now have a programme with a date and a night that is named.

Sellers, read the floor. Dim sum service. Meat and seafood at Michelin pace. A bar list that needs to feel new without losing the room’s calm. If your story is holding a Cantonese pass, supporting private dining at Atlantis, or building a drink that belongs beside Hakkasan plating, this is the market moving on the Palm.

Kattegat sits in the middle. Venues need people who show up. Talent needs rooms that book. Planners need one place where both sides tell the story straight, not forty WhatsApp threads named final.

We did not invent Dubai hospitality. We turned the trade we already live into a system buyers and sellers can run from the pocket. Nights like this at Atlantis The Palm are why the marketplace exists.

Book the Palm, book the table

If you are locking an Atlantis Cantonese dinner, a Palm client night, or talent for a Michelin room that already has the story, start with the plate and the date, not capacity alone.
