Drawing inspiration from New York’s theatre district, Silverfox Studios envisioned a European Brasserie set inside a repurposed warehouse. Dubbed “A Brasserie on Broadway,” this design aimed to juxtapose the historical charm of a brewery within the contemporary luxury of the Palace Hotel.
The existing space was stripped back to its shell and core, revealing a ceiling height of over 7 meters. This allowed Silverfox Studios to construct an internal structure resembling a warehouse, complete with its own back-illuminated roof, old catwalks, and exposed pipework. This careful design created the illusion of a retrofitted brewery, enhancing the authenticity and character of the space.
The bar, deliberately placed off-center, contributes to the realistic, lived-in feel of the venue. Silverfox Studios’ attention to detail ensures that the imperfections of the layout add to the overall charm and plausibility of the concept. The result is a vibrant, stylish brasserie that stands apart from the rest of the hotel, offering a distinctive experience that harmonises with the grandeur of the Palace Hotel Abu Dhabi and the dynamic energy of the adjacent Hotel Theatre.
