Six hotels in Deira and the Dubai Gold District are marking Diwali with festive dining and a stay offer. Throughout November, Indian-inspired meals start at AED 75 per person, and room rates start at AED 200 for stays from 1 to 15 November 2026.
Where to eat
Four restaurants across the cluster are taking part: The Spicery at Novotel Dubai Gold District, Farmstead at Mercure Dubai Deira, World of Curries at Aparthotel Adagio Dubai Gold District and Lilly’s Garden at ibis Styles Dubai Deira. The menus feature Indian-themed buffets, chaat counters, traditional Diwali sweets and festive decor, and can be customised on request to suit each group’s tastes and occasion.
Private celebrations
The cluster also offers private Diwali gatherings for groups of 10 to 250 guests, with a choice of restaurant and banquet venues across the properties. Options include buffet and set menus, customised food and beverage packages and festive setups, from an intimate family dinner to a larger corporate celebration. Packages are tailored to the venue, menu and group size, and start from AED 75 per person.
Make a stay of it
Rooms start at AED 200 at any of the six properties, which are Novotel Dubai Gold District, Mercure Dubai Deira, Mercure Dubai Gold District, ibis Styles Dubai Deira, ibis Styles Dubai Gold District and Aparthotel Adagio Dubai Gold District. The hotels say guests can start the day with a wander through the nearby Gold and Spice Souks and along Dubai Creek, then return for a festive meal. Rates and packages are subject to availability and may vary by hotel, venue, menu and requirements.
The same cluster also includes the new Ten64 rooftop pool bar at ibis Styles Dubai Deira. For more ways to mark the festival, see our guide to Diwali in Dubai 2026.
