In December 2024, my wife and I stayed had two nights at the Conrad Dubai. The Christmas decoration was lovely. Thus, I decided to share it with you in a Pictured Story. Our highlight was having an Christmas-themed afternoon tea, which was simply amazing. Hope you enjoy this posting and that I am spreading some holiday vibes with you.
Conrad Dubai – My Hotel Review
I already reviewed the hotel, based on a stay in November 2019. Here is my detailed review:
Conrad Dubai
Conrad Dubai – Christmas Decoration
The Christmas decoration 2024 at the Conrad Dubai was really beautiful. There was a small house next to the cafe, which sold Panettone. The key eye-catcher, however, was a giant, very richly decorated Christmas tree. I really loved the gingerbread house village in the lobby. Funnily, they had named the houses after different brands and Hilton hotels in the area.













Conrad Dubai – Festive Afternoon Tea
During 2024, the Festive Afternoon Tea has been served in the Isla cafe, which is located right at the reception lobby. The price for two people was 300 AED, which was about 80 EUR at that time. As a Hilton Honors Diamond Member, I even received a discount. You should reserve at least 24 hours before having afternoon tea. The service was amazing, the staff absolutely friendly and a free choice of several teas and coffees, including iced coffee has been included. There has also been a (non-alcoholic) welcome drink. The price for 2025 is equivalent, it will be available from 1st December to 29th December 2025.












As you see in the pictures, the holiday-alike decoration was absolutely lovely. Thus, we absolutely enjoyed the experience. Any item on the etagere was available at least twice, so that it has been an easy share. At the end, there were also two scones with clotted cream, which I did forgot to take some pictures of.
