Highlight

Opting not to travel out of the UAE this holiday season? The first five-star hotel in Dubai invites residents to let them be your home this Christmas and New Year.

Christmas this year will definitely not be the same, but that does not mean it won’t be the most wonderful time of the year still. The Radisson Blu Hotel Dubai Deira Creek welcomes UAE residents to “stay home” with them during the holidays.

With an estimated 88.52  per cent of the UAE’s population being expats, going back to one’s home country to be with their loved ones during the holidays has become a yearly tradition to many. As travel restrictions around the world are still very much in place, residents are opting to spend the festive season within the country.

Christmas is all about tradition and as the first five-star hotel ever built in Dubai, the Radisson Blu Hotel Dubai Deira Creek is proud to welcome back friends to this historical site where multiple generations have celebrated the most awaited season of all. The team has made a lot of preparations to make sure that guests still have that warm fuzzy feeling, whilst knowing they are in a safe and healthy environment. Anyone who steps in will immediately feel the holiday spirit – the entire hotel will be decked in glittering festive colours, carols will be playing all throughout, and guests will be welcomed by the team in full Christmas gear.

Guests are invited to unwind and relax in any of the 288 elegant rooms overlooking views of the stunning Creek; satiate in the numerous award-winning restaurants and bars; or indulge in the on-site health club, all for generous offers during this joyous season.

Christmas tree lighting

The season begins with the annual Christmas Tree Lighting on December 8. Everyone is invited to experience the Radisson Blu Hotel, Dubai Deira Creek come to life with the festive spirit. There will be traditional Christmas sweets and beverages served as guests listen to the choir sing Christmas carols. The event is free and open to everyone, but there is a maximum capacity to observe social distancing, so make sure to save the date, RSVP as early as now, and get your vocals ready!
