Swissôtel Al Ghurair fills its festive calendar, from tree lighting to New Year

Swissôtel Al Ghurair is inviting Dubai to come together this festive season, with a calendar that runs from family brunches and festive feasts to afternoon treats, creative workshops for little ones and restorative time in the spa.
