40 Kong sits on the 40th floor of the H Hotel with one of Downtown Dubai's most direct views of the Burj Khalifa fountain show. The horseshoe terrace wraps the building and lets you stand directly under the fountain timing, the music piped onto the deck is synced to the show.
Inside, the lounge is mid-century modern with deep banquettes and a long marble bar pouring proper martinis and a strong negroni list. The crowd is mid-thirties expat with a healthy Downtown-tourist mix on weekends.
Smart casual is enforced after 8pm. Reserve a terrace table at least a week ahead Thursday-Saturday for the fountain show timing.
