Sunset Hospitality Group Introduces Kapitol: A New Entertainment Concept At Rixos Premium Dubai, JBR
Sunset Hospitality Group (SHG), the leading global lifestyle hospitality company, proudly announces the launch of Kapitol, its flagship venture into the entertainment arena. Set to open in September 2025 at Rixos Premium Dubai, located in the heart of Dubai’s JBR, Kapitol marks a bold new chapter for SHG, expanding the Group’s portfolio with an immersive, game-led venue that merges dynamic food and beverage experiences with state-of-the-art entertainment.
Occupying three expansive floors and more than 30,000 sq ft, Kapitol is a colossal entertainment hub, inspired by the Art Deco period and the vintage movie theatres. Starting from the arrival experience, every detail is curated with maximum attention to details, with guests entering through a majestic front facade to the reception area to find a 360 camera
photobooth, immortalizing the experience.
On the ground floor, guests will find an eclectic mix of social games and experiences, from baseball cages, axe throwing, and electric shuffle, to darts, F1 racing simulators, and arcade games. These activity zones are thoughtfully surrounded by vibrant bars, elevated food and beverage offerings, and a central stage designed for live DJs and live bands.
The second floor is home to an upscale and interactive 14 holes mini-golf experience, while the third floor includes ten bowling lanes with 2 VIP lanes. Each level offers its own bar. The space also includes flexible areas for private events and celebrations, catering to Dubai’s growing demand for bespoke gatherings. For those looking to unleash their inner superstar, three themed karaoke rooms in collaboration with ‘The Voice’ offer a uniquely immersive singing experience.
“This is a milestone moment for SHG,” said Lorenzo Marras, President of Dining at SHG, who is spearheading the Kapitol project. “Kapitol is more than a venue – it’s a statement. We’ve created a space that captures the energy of modern entertainment while offering a nostalgic nod to the past. It’s a place to play, dine, connect, and celebrate. With Kapitol, we’re
reaffirming SHG’s commitment to evolving as a lifestyle hospitality company that creates experiences far beyond the traditional.”
Antonio Gonzalez, Chairman and Group CEO of SHG, concluded: “Kapitol reflects our vision of the future of hospitality, and as SHG expands into new verticals, this entry into the entertainment and game-led landscape represents a natural progression to innovate and diversify. Kapitol is a bold step that embodies the creativity and ambition driving
our brand forward.”
The introduction of Kapitol follows a series of major developments from SHG, including its capital injection from Goldman Sachs, and the announcement of Casa METT Singapore. Kapitol is a clear demonstration of SHG’s diverse, multi-vertical approach, and its continued drive to redefine hospitality on a global scale.
SHG already has a longstanding relationship with Rixos Hotels, having successfully operated Ammos, Azure Beach, and Luigia, three concepts that continue to thrive in Rixos Premium Dubai.
