IHG Hotels & Resorts launches a festive dining campaign across the UAE, inviting residents and visitors to celebrate the season with special menus, discounts and loyalty rewards at more than 40 restaurants nationwide. Running from 8 December 2025 to 7 January 2026, the “‘Tis the Season” campaign spans multiple IHG brands, including InterContinental, voco, Hotel Indigo, Crowne Plaza and Holiday Inn.
The initiative offers diners 2X IHG One Rewards points on eligible dining bills, alongside savings of up to 30% on selected festive dishes and experiences. The offer applies to dine-in guests at participating venues, with a minimum spend of AED 125, and is available throughout the campaign period.
A nationwide festive dining celebration
The campaign brings together a wide mix of dining experiences across the Emirates, reflecting both the diversity of IHG’s hotel portfolio and the varied ways people celebrate the festive season in the UAE. From generous family-style feasts to refined evening dinners and relaxed outdoor gatherings, the participating restaurants aim to capture the warmth and sociability associated with the end-of-year holidays.
By extending the campaign across multiple brands and locations, IHG positions festive dining as something accessible beyond traditional hotel guests. The promotion is designed to appeal equally to UAE residents looking for seasonal meals close to home and to international travellers seeking familiar brands with a local festive twist.
Rewards, savings and easy access
Loyalty plays a central role in the campaign. IHG One Rewards members automatically earn double points when settling eligible dining bills on the spot, reinforcing the group’s strategy of rewarding everyday experiences rather than limiting benefits to overnight stays. For non-members, joining is positioned as immediate and straightforward, with diners able to enrol instantly by scanning a QR code at participating restaurants.
Alongside the loyalty incentive, the campaign’s financial appeal lies in its dining discounts. Guests can enjoy up to 30% off selected seasonal dishes and experiences, making festive meals more approachable at a time of year when dining out often comes at a premium. With a minimum spend of AED 125, the offer targets casual lunches as well as more elaborate celebrations.
Across the UAE, the festive period is marked by a blend of cultures, cuisines and social traditions. IHG’s campaign reflects this atmosphere by offering varied menus and settings, from long lunches shared with family to sparkling evenings out with friends or informal catch-ups during the holiday rush. By extending the celebration into early January, the group also acknowledges that festive dining in the UAE often stretches beyond a single date, allowing guests more flexibility in how and when they choose to celebrate.
