Emirates has rolled out one of its most generous summer promotions yet — free nights at the five-star JW Marriott Marquis Hotel Dubai for eligible passengers flying to or through the emirate this season.
Whether Dubai is your final destination or a stopover, all passengers travelling between June 25 and September 30 can unlock a stay at the JW Marriott Marquis Hotel Dubai. The offer is part of Emirates’ broader push to attract international tourists during the peak summer travel period and give Dubai’s tourism industry a meaningful boost.
Who Can Benefit From This Free Hotel Stay Offer
The offer applies to eligible return tickets to Dubai or with a Dubai stopover of more than 24 hours, for travel between June 25 and September 30.
Passengers booking return tickets between June 22 and July 12 can enjoy free hotel accommodation if Dubai is included in their itinerary either as a destination or as a stopover lasting more than 24 hours.
The nights on offer depend on which cabin class you’re travelling in. Passengers who book a return business or first class ticket will be eligible for a complimentary two-night stay, while premium economy or economy flyers will get a free one-night stay.
Given the limited booking window, getting in early is important if you want to take advantage of the deal.
How the Dubai Hotel Promotion Works
As part of the promotion, Emirates customers can enjoy a free stay at the five-star JW Marriott Marquis, one of Dubai’s best-known luxury hotels. Located in the heart of the city, the hotel offers award-winning restaurants and bars, a spa, fitness facilities and an outdoor swimming pool overlooking the Dubai skyline.
You can redeem the offer on the Emirates website, the Emirates app or at Emirates ticketing centres or participating travel agents, made at least 96 hours before the passenger’s arrival in Dubai.
Customers from select markets can also take advantage of Emirates’ Dubai Experience platform to make the most of their stopover, creating tailored itineraries to suit all travellers, including 24- and 48-hour itineraries.
Beyond the hotel stay, the perks keep coming. My Emirates Pass is returning for summer 2026, offering more than 600 discounts across participating restaurants, spas, retailers and attractions. From 15% off fine dining restaurants to discounts of up to 40% on attractions like Arte Museum, Ain Dubai and JA Golf, you can enjoy your Dubai getaway for less simply by showing a physical or digital boarding pass alongside a valid ID.
Boosting Tourism and Airline Competition
The timing of this campaign is no coincidence. Dubai’s flagship airline has rolled out several offers to attract travellers after the US-Israel-Iran war dampened travel demand.
Dubai remains one of the world’s most visited cities, and offers like complimentary hotel stays help convert short stopovers into proper city breaks while encouraging longer visits overall. For the hospitality sector, it means more occupied rooms during the summer season — a genuine win for both the airline and the wider tourism economy.
Time your trip right and you’ll also land squarely in the middle of Dubai Summer Surprises 2026, running from July 2 to August 30, with concerts, cultural events, wellness activities and retail promotions across the city.

Things Travellers Should Keep in Mind Before Booking
A few key details are worth noting before you confirm anything.
Passengers booking return flights between June 22 and July 12 are eligible, with travel taking place between June 25 and September 30 2026. The booking window is tight, so don’t sit on it too long.
Emirates said customers booking after April 2, 2026 can benefit from a complimentary date change across all cabin classes under its flexible rebooking policy. Passengers can also use the airline’s Hold My Fare service to lock in ticket prices while finalising their travel arrangements.
Always check the full terms and conditions directly on the Emirates website before booking, as eligibility rules, blackout dates and market availability can vary. Verifying your hotel details and inclusions before you travel is also a good idea to make sure everything is in order before you land.
