Addmind Hospitality

What Addmind Hospitality does

Addmind Hospitality is a privately held, Dubai-headquartered hospitality operator founded in 2001 that runs design-driven restaurants, beach clubs, nightlife venues and hotels in the United Arab Emirates. The company, led by Founder & CEO Tony Habre, has built its positioning around curated experiential concepts that blend venue design, programming and hospitality service, serving both UAE residents and the inbound tourist and resident-expat consumer base that supports Dubai's premium hospitality market.

The core business model is physical-venue based: Addmind generates revenue through on-premise dining, beverage, cover/entertainment, beach-club access and hotel room and F&B revenue at owned, managed or partnered locations. Distribution is concentrated in physical venues within Dubai and the wider UAE (single-country/domestic scope), with consumer-facing GTM executed at the venue level through walk-ins, reservations and membership/event programming rather than through digital channels.

On 2026-02-10, Addmind announced a landmark joint venture with Gastronaut Hospitality and a related three-way JV also incorporating Ambr Lifestyle to develop a new generation of experiential dining and nightlife venues in Downtown Dubai. The partnerships combine Addmind's nightlife and entertainment venue design expertise with Gastronaut's culinary-led restaurant concepts and Ambr Lifestyle's lifestyle-hospitality capability under unified management and creative vision, targeting immersive entertainment spaces that integrate gastronomy, art and performance. No pricing, funding, acquisition, or revenue disclosures are present in the available source material, and the company operates across 1,001–5,000 employees.
