Christmas Day Brunch at Society Room Raffles Dubai

The Society Room Christmas Day Brunch brings a festive sharing-style menu, a live DJ and a three-hour beverage package to Raffles Dubai in WAFI City, Dubai, on Friday 25 December 2026. Running between 1pm and 4pm, it is a stylish but relaxed way to celebrate Christmas Day inside one of the city’s most recognisable hotels.

The format is straightforward and sociable: sharing starters for the table, a festive main course for each guest and dessert, with music and drinks carrying the afternoon. It sits at the more approachable end of Dubai’s Christmas brunch scene, which makes it easy to gather a group without the formality of a grand hotel buffet.

The Society Room Christmas Day Brunch menu

According to Society Room’s official festive page, the Christmas Day Brunch includes sharing starters for the table, one festive main course per guest and dessert, with a live DJ setting the mood throughout and a three-hour beverage package. That balance of shared plates and an individual main works well for groups: the starters get conversation going, while everyone still has their own Christmas centrepiece.

Three beverage packages are available: Soft, House and Premium. The soft package means non-drinkers and drivers are properly looked after, while the house and premium options suit those who want to raise a glass to the season. The current rates are shown in the booking box on this page, and Society Room is offering 20 percent off for bookings made before 10 December 2026. Alcohol is only served to guests aged 21 and over, so bring valid ID if you choose the house or premium package.

Society Room at Raffles Dubai

Society Room is on the third floor of Raffles Dubai. Raffles presents it as a venue where culinary excellence takes centre stage, with refined cooking, artisanal cocktails and shisha on an expansive terrace. It is more of a lounge-style social space than a traditional hotel restaurant, which explains why the Christmas brunch leans on a DJ and drinks rather than carols and carving stations. The expansive terrace, where Society Room normally serves shisha, is a natural spot to finish the afternoon, so ask whether terrace seating is available for the brunch when you message to book.

The hotel around it is part of the appeal. Raffles Dubai opened on 21 November 2007 as the first Raffles property outside Asia. Its 19-storey building is shaped like a pyramid, inspired by ancient Egyptian architecture, with a glass capstone spanning three floors and hieroglyph-carved columns in the lobby. The hotel has 248 rooms. It sits within the WAFI food, fashion and entertainment complex on Sheikh Rashid Road in Umm Hurair, around 15 minutes from Dubai International Airport.

Who it suits

This brunch is a natural fit for groups of friends spending Christmas away from home, colleagues celebrating together and couples who want a festive afternoon out without cooking. With a DJ and a three-hour drinks package, the atmosphere leans towards a lively social gathering rather than a quiet family lunch, so it suits adults looking for a party mood more than families with young children.

Its location makes it convenient for residents of Oud Metha, Bur Dubai, Dubai Healthcare City and the surrounding neighbourhoods, and it is an easy taxi ride from Downtown and Business Bay.
