Swissôtel Al Ghurair invites guests to step into the season’s warmth through a succession of carefully considered celebrations, each one crafted to honour both tradition and togetherness. The festive calendar opens with moments of genuine connection, beginning with the hotel’s Christmas Tree Lighting on 10 December, when a twenty foot tree ignites to the accompaniment of a Christmas choir in the lobby. The evening unfolds with a Festive Swiss Afternoon Tea and a gingerbread house workshop, allowing families to move seamlessly from the shimmer of twinkling lights into the unhurried pleasure of tea, warm scones and seasonal treats.
For those who prefer to bring celebration home, the Festive Turkey Takeaway arrives ready to serve up to six guests with all the familiar comforts. A honey roasted turkey comes accompanied by stuffing, roasted potatoes, root vegetables, Brussels sprouts, chicken sausages, roasted chestnuts, cranberry sauce and giblet gravy, available from 21 November through 7 January. The spread can be completed with a Swiss Chocolate Cake, a Christmas Yule Log Cake, mince pies or Christmas Stollen, each offering its own quiet refinement to the table.
On 26 November, Thanksgiving Dinner at Liwan Restaurant centres the evening around gratitude and flavour. Adults gather around a special holiday feast while younger guests participate in card making, face painting and a hands on cookie decorating class, crafting Pumpkin Patch cookies that taste as good as they look. The experience honours both generations with equal thoughtfulness.
An Afternoon of Swiss Elegance
Running from 12 December to 3 January, the Festive Swiss Afternoon Tea at Yasmine Lounge unfolds between noon and six in the evening. The spread features savoury bites alongside warm scones and seasonal treats, with a carefully considered selection created for younger palates, allowing the whole family to share an afternoon unhurried by routine. Each gathering at Swissôtel Al Ghurair transforms the season’s familiar pleasures into moments of genuine presence and shared delight.
