In a proud moment for Dubai’s luxury hospitality scene, The Polo Bar at Al Habtoor Palace has been named to the prestigious 2025 Star Bars List by Forbes Travel Guide. This exclusive recognition includes just 58 hotel bars from across 19 countries, all chosen for delivering outstanding beverage programs, luxurious service, and memorable guest experiences.
The recognition is rooted in Forbes Travel Guide’s meticulous incognito inspections, drawing from data collected during its 2024 and 2025 Star Ratings. The Polo Bar stood out for its rich atmosphere, elevated service, and refined drinks program that speaks to the city’s cosmopolitan flair.
Tucked within the iconic Al Habtoor Palace Dubai—already a Forbes Four-Star rated hotel for 2025—The Polo Bar is a sanctuary of equestrian elegance and timeless charm. Think deep leather seating, polished wood interiors, and a cocktail list that mixes classic sophistication with creative flair.
“We are honored to be distinguished on the 2025 Forbes Star Bars List—a graceful affirmation of our unwavering commitment to excellence,” shared Soufiane El Allam, Complex Operations & Commercial Director, Al Habtoor City Hotel Collection. “The Polo Bar is where enduring sophistication seamlessly intertwines with Dubai’s spirited vitality.”
This recognition further cements Al Habtoor Palace’s status as one of Dubai’s most luxurious destinations. Located along Sheikh Zayed Road with views of the Dubai Water Canal, the palatial hotel boasts 234 lavish rooms and suites, world-class dining, a rooftop pool, curated art, and exclusive access to Palm Jumeirah’s beach clubs.
“The 2025 Star Bars represent the pinnacle of hotel bar experiences,” said Hermann Elger, CEO of Forbes Travel Guide. Bastien Gardrat, FTG’s Global Spirits Ambassador, added, “These awards highlight sophisticated ambiance, elevated service, artfully curated wine lists, and cocktails that are skillfully crafted and creatively presented.”
With this honor, The Polo Bar continues to raise the bar—literally—for what an exceptional hotel bar should be.

Six Fields has launched its Summer 2026 campaign, #CheersForMore, bringing internationally recognised cricket umpire Anil Chaudhary on board to create a fresh and engaging cricket-viewing experience. Launched during the ongoing cricket season, the campaign aims to encourage fans to celebrate not only match-winning moments but also the smaller moments that shape the game.
At the centre of the campaign is a digital film featuring Anil Chaudhary in a role not commonly seen in cricket brand campaigns. Instead of focusing only on players and high-impact moments, the campaign highlights the many events that keep fans emotionally invested throughout a match, from wides and dot balls to appeals, boundaries, near misses, and changing momentum.
The idea behind the campaign comes from an interesting insight into fan behaviour. While cricket viewers remain emotionally connected from the first ball to the last, celebrations usually happen only during major moments like sixes, wickets, or final victories. Through #CheersForMore, Six Fields aims to make every moment worth celebrating.
Using familiar umpire signals as a creative element, the campaign transforms official gestures into easy fan reactions that people can use while watching matches together. Through this approach, Six Fields hopes to build a more interactive and socially driven viewing culture among modern cricket audiences.
Speaking about the campaign, Prem Dewan, Chairman and Managing Director of DeVANS Modern Breweries Ltd., said: “Cricket is one of India’s biggest entertainment experience and our campaign #CheersForMore celebrates the energy that exists in every moment of the game. The campaign reflects this energy and encourages fans to engage more actively throughout the game.”
The campaign’s choice of Anil Chaudhary also stands out. While many cricket campaigns usually feature current or former players, Six Fields has selected a personality closely associated with the game’s structure and authenticity. Having retired from IPL umpiring only last year, Chaudhary continues to be recognised as the most experienced umpire in IPL history, bringing familiarity and credibility to the campaign.
The initiative also reflects how cricket consumption habits are evolving, especially among younger audiences. Fans today interact with matches through memes, reels, fantasy leagues, watch parties, social media discussions, and live conversations beyond television screens. Brands are increasingly trying to become part of these moments rather than simply seeking visibility.
The campaign will roll out extensively across digital and social platforms during the cricket season. It will include creator collaborations, fan participation formats, influencer content, and real-time conversations to make the cheering behaviour more engaging and visible online.
Speaking on the campaign, Anil Chaudhary said: “Every signal on the field exists because every moment matters in cricket. Through #CheersForMore with Six Fields, we wanted to bring that same spirit to fans and encourage them to stay engaged with the game beyond just the major moments.”
With #CheersForMore, Six Fields is looking to strengthen its connection with cricket culture, social engagement, and celebration moments during one of India's biggest sporting seasons. Cheers For More with Six Fields!

Sheraton Grand Palace Indore has introduced a new immersive dining concept titled “Sarafa se Chappan,” designed to celebrate the vibrant street food culture of Indore through a curated culinary journey.
The experience brings together the iconic flavours of Sarafa Bazaar’s lively night food scene and the diverse offerings of Chappan Dukan, two of the city’s most celebrated culinary destinations. Hosted at S Café, the initiative transforms familiar street food favourites into a refined, sit-down dining format while preserving their authenticity and regional character.
The specially curated menu features a wide range of Indori street food staples, including Potato Hot Dog, Sweet Potato Spiral, Jeeravan Spiced Corn, Indori Chatpati Bhel, and Tandoori Fruits. Complementing the food selection are locally inspired beverages such as Jamun Shots and Pineapple Crusher, designed to reflect the bold, tangy, and refreshing flavours associated with Indore’s street culture.
The concept is built around storytelling through food, where each dish represents a sensory connection to the city’s culinary heritage. By blending nostalgia with presentation-driven dining, the experience aims to recreate the energy and vibrancy of Indore’s bustling food streets within a premium hospitality setting.
According to the hotel, the initiative is designed to offer guests more than just a meal, focusing instead on immersive dining that engages taste, memory, and culture. The emphasis remains on authenticity, creativity, and regional identity, while presenting street food in a structured and elevated format.
The “Sarafa se Chappan” experience will be available every weekend from 7:00 PM to 11:00 PM at Sheraton Grand Palace Indore, offering guests a curated journey through one of India’s most celebrated food cities.
Oliveto at The St. Regis Goa Resort is set to bring the charm of Italy to Goa with the launch of Venerdì Italiano evenings this June. Inspired by the relaxed and soulful dining traditions of Italy, the experience invites guests to slow down and enjoy a specially curated evening centred around food, conversation, and timeless flavours.
Scheduled every Friday throughout June, the dining experience embraces the essence of La Dolce Vita and recreates the warmth of a classic neighbourhood trattoria in a refined setting.
Guests can look forward to a chef-curated set menu featuring beloved Italian favourites thoughtfully presented with a contemporary touch. The menu will take diners through a carefully planned culinary journey, beginning with elegant antipasti and moving through signature classics before ending on indulgent dessert notes.
Designed to blend authenticity with modern finesse, Venerdì Italiano aims to offer more than just a meal. The evening promises a warm and inviting atmosphere where guests can enjoy the comfort of traditional Italian dining with a refreshed perspective.
The experience will take place every Friday in June from 7:00 PM to 10:30 PM at Oliveto, The St. Regis Goa Resort.
