With a 4.6-star Google rating from an impressive 7,759 reviews, the Amwaj Rotana has built a strong reputation among families visiting Dubai, particularly those choosing JBR as their New Year base. Guests consistently highlight the hotel's excellent position for exploring the waterfront restaurant scene, praising the ease of walking to a wide variety of family-welcoming dining venues without needing to travel far. Many reviewers with children specifically mention how convenient the nearby metro access makes day trips across Dubai during the festive period, while the New Year atmosphere along The Walk at JBR earns enthusiastic mentions time and again. The warm, attentive service and well-maintained facilities make a recurring appearance in reviews from families who return year after year to celebrate the New Year in style at this beloved Dubai property.
The Amwaj Rotana occupies a coveted position within Jumeirah Beach Residence (JBR), one of Dubai's most family-friendly and lively coastal neighbourhoods. The hotel sits directly adjacent to The Walk at JBR, a pedestrianised promenade lined with an outstanding selection of restaurants, cafes, and casual dining spots that cater brilliantly to families with children of all ages. Whether you are after international cuisine, casual beachside dining, or a festive New Year set menu, the options within a short stroll of the hotel are genuinely impressive.
JBR also borders Dubai Marina, further expanding your family dining and entertainment choices. The area transforms spectacularly over the New Year period, with outdoor events, illuminations, and a celebratory buzz that makes it one of the most exciting places in the entire city to welcome in the new year with your family. Everything you need for an unforgettable festive stay – restaurants, the beach, entertainment, and metro links – is right on your doorstep.
One of the standout practical advantages of staying at the Amwaj Rotana JBR for your New Year family holiday is the convenient access to Dubai's excellent metro network. The DAMAC Properties Metro Station (Red Line) is reachable within a short journey from the hotel, connecting your family quickly and affordably to key Dubai destinations including Dubai Mall, Burj Khalifa, Mall of the Emirates, and Dubai International Airport. The metro is air-conditioned, family-friendly, and a far more relaxed option than navigating Dubai's busy roads during the busy New Year period when traffic can be significant.
For families who prefer flexibility, taxis and ride-hailing services are readily available outside the hotel, and the waterfront location means many of JBR's best restaurants and attractions are entirely walkable. The Dubai Tram also runs through the Marina area, providing another convenient local transport option for exploring nearby dining and entertainment during your festive stay.
The area surrounding Amwaj Rotana is packed with outstanding family-friendly restaurants and New Year attractions that make this one of Dubai's most rewarding locations for a festive stay. The Walk at JBR is home to a diverse mix of casual and sit-down restaurants where families can enjoy everything from wood-fired pizza and fresh seafood to international buffets and children's menus – many with outdoor terraces perfect for soaking up the New Year atmosphere.
The Beach at JBR, an open-air retail and dining destination just moments from the hotel, offers additional family-friendly restaurant choices alongside cinema screenings, children's play areas, and a festive New Year countdown atmosphere that is hard to beat. Nearby Dubai Marina Mall and the Marina Walk add yet more dining variety, while the broader Dubai Marina area hosts some of the city's most spectacular New Year fireworks displays, visible from the waterfront and many of the surrounding restaurants. For families wanting to venture further, the metro provides swift access to Global Village, Aquaventure Waterpark at Atlantis, and the iconic Burj Khalifa New Year countdown – all easily achievable as day or evening trips from your JBR base.
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 among the best Dubai offers all year – warm, sunny days with comfortable evenings that are perfect for outdoor dining, beach walks, and family strolls along the promenade. This makes the New Year period an ideal time to make the most of the open-air restaurant terraces and waterfront dining that the area around Amwaj Rotana is famous for.
The festive season also brings a wonderful energy to JBR, with street entertainment, light installations, and special New Year menus across the local restaurant scene. Families will find that most venues are well-prepared for children during this period, with dedicated menus, early seatings, and a welcoming atmosphere.
