Holiday Inn & Suites Dubai Festival City Celebrates the Launch of Sirocco Garden, Its New Outdoor Social Hangout

Dubai, UAE — 19 November 2025

Holiday Inn & Suites Dubai Festival City has officially opened Sirocco Garden, a new outdoor bar and social hangout that welcomed guests for its debut. The launch event brought together hotel guests, partners, media, and community members for an evening that showcased the venue’s relaxed charm, vibrant ambience, and welcoming garden setting.

Set within a lush, open-air environment, Sirocco Garden introduces a contemporary outdoor experience to the Dubai Festival City dining landscape. Envisioned as an everyday destination for relaxed social moments, the venue offers an atmosphere suited to after-work unwinding, casual gatherings, and leisurely weekend enjoyment. Launch guests experienced the venue’s soft lighting, comfortable seating, and inviting garden aesthetic, which together create a warm and effortless sense of place.

Throughout the evening, guests were treated to a curated selection of signature mixed beverages, refreshing coolers, specialty mocktails, and freshly brewed options. These were paired with an elevated take on pub-style comfort dishes crafted to complement the venue’s casual, social energy. A dedicated shisha area further enriched the lounge-style experience and enhanced the venue’s relaxed, sociable appeal.

“The opening of Sirocco Garden marks a significant addition to our F&B portfolio at Dubai Festival City,” said Thomas Schmelter, Area General Manager, IHG Hotels at Dubai Festival City. “Our vision was to create an accessible, welcoming space defined by genuine hospitality, somewhere guests can seamlessly settle in, enjoy well-crafted food and beverages, and feel connected to the community. The enthusiastic response at the launch affirmed the relevance of this concept for our destination.”

Designed as an open and welcoming space for everyone, Sirocco Garden caters to the wider Dubai community with a relaxed outdoor atmosphere that blends comfort, great value, and genuine hospitality.

Sirocco Garden is now open at Holiday Inn Dubai Festival City and welcomes guests daily throughout the winter season.
