We really enjoy Garage at W Hotel for Christmas. They have wonderful food , great drinks packages and mostly lovely service, especially Shiva who was exceptional. It was our third year for Christmas and it was great. Will hopefully be back next year.

Couldn't fault it. Waiter was so attentive. Loved it. Definitely worth a visit. We have already booked again for next year. If you have a bucket list then this needs to be on it. I honestly can't say enough about our experience. They made our Christmas and finished off our holidays.

Came as a single female for an experience and brunch on Xmas Day. Amazing personalised service from Abdul who helped me and also supported me in joining a table of fellow Brits who realised I was alone on Xmas Day. His customer service was exceptional.

We are currently staying at the W hotel and we have just experienced the Christmas Day brunch. I can honestly say this is our 1st and the best Christmas Day we have had away from home. I booked the brunch before we arrive me and the concierge service at the W hotel were so helpful in making sure everything was organised ahead of our arrival. The Christmas Day brunch was excellent ! so much delicious food available and our waiting staff were incredible, especially Sandar, JJ , Fred and Gazali. We also had great Christmas music with dancers who were amazing. It is also my birthday and they organised the most wonderful birthday sing along surprise which was lovely ❤️ We couldn’t have wished for a better Christmas Day ! Thank you so much !! Read less
