April is around the corner, bringing with it the imminent arrival of one of the most anticipated events on this year’s social calendar – the 7th anniversary of the Capital Club.
Dubai’s premier private City Club and member of the ENSHAA group of companies won’t be pulling any punches as it gets ready for its grand anniversary party on the 16th April, this year aptly themed ‘The 7 Year Itch’ featuring the glitz & glam of the 1950’s movie which saw Marilyn Monroe channel movie star charm in that iconic “silly little dress”.
Starting from the Club’s third floor all the way up to the roof terrace, with its stunning views of the Burj Khalifa and DIFC, the Capital Club will be decked out in 50s flair, making it the perfect backdrop for party goers to show off their stylish 1950’ s glamour.
From 8pm, Cara Roberts will be performing her take on the Lady Gaga and Tony Bennet collaboration “cheek to cheek” with the very best music of the era. On other floors there will be a Barbershop Quartet and smooth bluesy jazz, giving the Club’s exclusive Members the chance to demonstrate their skills at the Jitterbug, the Stroll, and the Twist.  And when a break is needed, Members will be spoilt for choice with a special selection of some of the best local food purveyors popping up across the Club and building on the 50’s themed experience.
In addition to kicking off the celebrations, the Club’s Signature Dining will also play host to the well-established VVIP Ferrari Lounge by Al Tayer Motors, this year with the addition of The Residence, the world’s most exclusive, three room-suite in the sky, by Etihad Airways.
As always the Club and its supporters have amazing prizes for the best dressed, including business class flights from Etihad Airways, a stay at the equally exclusive Velaa Private Island, Maldives, Dhamani jewelry, and a ‘Test Drive Lifestyle Experience]. This year will be the first time the Club engages social media to showcase the very best dressed. Members and their guests will have their outfits photographed and instagrammed on arrival with the #CCD7yearItch! judged by the Club and prize supporters.
Emma Cullen, Capital Club General Manager, commented, “It’s a night where we demonstrate to Members why their Club was selected by CNN as one of the World’s most exclusive Private Clubs - it will be pure magic and tons of fun for those that get an invite!”
