Families returning after festive stays frequently mention the warm and attentive service, the spacious and well-appointed rooms, and the sense of being perfectly positioned to enjoy JBR's New Year celebrations.

The overall picture painted by thousands of guests is of a hotel that genuinely understands what families need when visiting Dubai for a special occasion.
The Amwaj Rotana is located in Jumeirah Beach Residence (JBR), Dubai's iconic beachfront community and one of the city's most family-friendly neighbourhoods. Positioned directly along the waterfront, the hotel places your family within easy walking distance of The Walk at JBR and The Beach at JBR – two of Dubai's most popular open-air destinations, lined with family-welcoming restaurants, cafes, and entertainment venues that come alive in spectacular fashion over the New Year period.
JBR is well known for its safe, pedestrian-friendly environment, making it an excellent choice for families with young children who want to enjoy New Year's Eve celebrations outdoors. The neighbourhood's restaurants cater to all ages and tastes, from international cuisine to local favourites, ensuring every member of the family can find something to enjoy on New Year's night and throughout your stay.
One of the standout advantages of staying at the Amwaj Rotana is its proximity to the JBR tram stop, which connects directly to the Dubai Metro at Jumeirah Lake Towers and Dubai Marina stations. This makes the hotel an exceptionally practical base for families who want to explore Dubai's wider dining scene and attractions during their New Year stay without relying on taxis or rental cars.
The Dubai Tram runs frequently and is air-conditioned, clean, and very family-friendly – a stress-free way to travel with children. From the tram and connecting metro, families can reach Dubai Mall, Downtown Dubai, and the Burj Khalifa area for New Year's Eve fireworks viewing, before returning comfortably to JBR. For those preferring to stay local, the hotel's immediate surroundings offer everything a family could need, with restaurants, the beach, and New Year entertainment all accessible on foot from the front door.
The area surrounding the Amwaj Rotana is a treasure trove of family-friendly dining and New Year entertainment. The Walk at JBR is home to a diverse mix of restaurants and casual dining spots where families can enjoy relaxed meals with sea views, while The Beach at JBR offers an open-air setting with multiple dining outlets, outdoor cinema screenings, and a buzzing New Year's Eve atmosphere complete with live music and waterfront fireworks.
For families seeking a special New Year's dinner, many of the restaurants in the immediate vicinity offer dedicated festive menus and family-friendly set dining experiences. Beyond dining, the area features Ain Dubai – the world's largest observation wheel – offering families a breathtaking vantage point for New Year's Eve celebrations. Skydive Dubai, the JBR beachfront, and the Marina Walk are also all easily accessible, ensuring your family's New Year stay is packed with memorable experiences beyond the dinner table.
New Year in Dubai is a truly spectacular occasion, and JBR sits at the very centre of the celebrations. The weather in late December and early January is at its most pleasant – warm, sunny days and comfortable evenings make it ideal for families to enjoy outdoor dining and waterfront activities without the intense summer heat. The entire JBR strip transforms into a festive destination, with restaurants launching special New Year menus, street entertainment, and some of the most impressive fireworks displays in the world lighting up the Dubai Marina skyline.
Staying at the Amwaj Rotana during this period means your family is positioned right where the action is, with the tram stop on your doorstep giving you the freedom to explore further afield if you wish.
