New Year’s Eve at Accents, InterContinental Dubai Marina

About New Year’s Eve at Accents, InterContinental Dubai Marina

Not every great New Year’s Eve needs a four figure ticket and a black tie. At InterContinental Dubai Marina, the hotel’s all day restaurant Accents Restaurant & Terrace is hosting a relaxed celebration on Thursday 31 December 2026, running from 8pm until midnight. It is built around a festive buffet, live music and free-flowing drinks, with the countdown to 2027 as the natural finale.

Time Out Dubai’s New Year’s Eve 2026 guide describes guests starting the evening with a huge festive buffet, followed by live music and drinks that keep flowing until midnight. For anyone living or staying around Dubai Marina, it is a convenient and well priced way to mark the occasion without travelling across the city.

What to expect

Here is what has been published about the evening:

• A large festive buffet to open the night
• Live music through the evening
• Free-flowing drinks until midnight
• Indoor restaurant and terrace setting at Accents
• Timings of 8pm to midnight

The hotel has not published a full menu or named the musicians for the night, so diners with dietary requirements should mention them when booking and ask what the buffet will include.

Prices

Two packages are listed. The sparkling grape package costs AED 795 per person, and the bubbly package costs AED 995 per person. The hotel has not yet published any pricing for children, so families should check directly whether younger guests are welcome and how they are charged.

Who it is for

This is a great pick for Dubai Marina residents and hotel guests who want a proper celebration close to home, as well as groups of friends who prefer a generous buffet to a set menu. The four hour format, finishing at midnight, suits people who want to see in 2027 with a good dinner and then head on elsewhere or home. It is also a sensible middle ground for couples who want something festive without the cost of a full gala.

How to book

Bookings are made through the hotel. Time Out Dubai lists the InterContinental Dubai Marina website and the number 04 446 6777 for reservations. Terrace seating is likely to be popular, so if you have a preference for sitting outside, mention it as early as possible.
