This extraordinary event promises to transport guests into a captivating winter utopia inspired by the enchanting snowy villages found in fairytales and cherished memories of yesteryears. Discover the magical world that awaits at The Carlton Tower Jumeirah.
A Frozen Fantasy in the Lobby
Renowned royal florist, Moyses Stevens, has masterfully designed the lobby’s festive installation. It will feature ice-like decorations and crystallised ornaments, creating an atmosphere reminiscent of a perpetually frozen land. Additionally, children visiting the hotel will have the opportunity to post their letters to Lapland via the hotel’s very own Christmas post-box. For families, the ‘Santa’s Mission’ programme during Christmas week promises a thrilling array of activities, ensuring a memorable stay for little ones.
‘The Season for Dreams’ is not confined to the lobby alone. The hotel offers a thoughtfully curated selection of festive menus throughout the season, ranging from traditional classics to contemporary Italian delicacies. Adding a seasonal twist to its award-winning offerings, the hotel will introduce a Festive Afternoon Tea in partnership with Jessica Preálpato.
This delectable spread includes enticing new sweet and savoury delights, such as a chestnut, truffle, and cranberry tart, a brioche with crème fraiche, smoked salmon, and caviar, along with a selection of mini turkey and berry jam sandwiches. To conclude this delightful experience, guests can savour a cheese crème brûlée, all complemented by a delightful selection of sweet treats. Highlights include an orange and cinnamon butter powder tart and an apple, clove, and cajou tart, both boasting classic Christmas flavours.
Delectable Desserts to End Your Feast
For those seeking a light mid-afternoon snack, The Carlton Tower presents the Scone Bar, offering an enticing range of flavours. Guests can indulge in seasonal favourites like cinnamon, sultana, and chocolate scones, or opt for more nature-inspired choices like basil, nettle, fennel, chamomile, and hibiscus scones. Additionally, sesame and coffee scones are available, providing a unique twist on the traditional scone. These delightful scones are also available for takeaway, making them a wonderful pre-Christmas gift for loved ones or friends.
The hotel is set to delight guests with two signature desserts for the festive period. Choose from a Christmas log available in both individual and large sizes, or a Couronne des Rois featuring tasting notes of orange blossom and candied orange. Either option promises a truly delectable conclusion to your perfect Christmas meal.
Italian Flair at Al Mare
The hotel’s flagship restaurant, Al Mare, offers a five-course Christmas Eve menu featuring modern Italian dishes. Highlights include steamed lobster with artichoke, potato, and saffron, as well as white cabbage, black winter truffle, and cannellini bean ravioli for vegetarians. The menu draws inspiration from Executive Chef Giuseppe Parisi’s childhood home in The Bay of Naples, offering a unique take on traditional Christmas Eve celebrations.
On Christmas day, elevate your festivities with a fine dining experience, as Al Mare presents a set menu comprising a selection of traditional festive dishes. The menu features dishes served family-style, including a playful take on classic pigs in blankets, and the more traditional roast turkey served with Yorkshire pudding and Brussels sprouts.
