Dubai winters are quite short. So when something cosy comes along, you grab it with both hands. That’s exactly why Penrose Lounge at Four Seasons DIFC just became my favourite pit stop of the season, because it’s giving away free hot chocolate every day. Yes, no tricks or waiter side-eye if you don’t order anything else.
Penrose Lounge Is Giving Out Free Cocoa, And We’re Not Questioning It
Just walk in between 5 PM and 6 PM, smile as you mean it, and grab your cup of warm, rich cocoa on the house. It’s difficult to imagine free chocolate during the festive season in Dubai, but hey, festive miracles exist, as mentioned on their Instagram account of FS Dubai.
Your Perfect Winter Ritual
The vibe at Penrose Lounge already leans towards that polished, calm energy people crave after a long day. Now imagine that same space with the smell of hot chocolate floating around. It’s a whole mood.
And because the winter breeze actually feels legit this year, that one-hour cocoa window hits just right. You can swing by after work, pretend you’re “just passing through DIFC,” and walk out with both your hands wrapped around a warm cup that will satisfy your soul quicker than a heater in December.
Why Is This A Big Deal?
Free things in Dubai usually come with a scroll of T&Cs longer than you imagine. But Penrose said nope. No spending or booking required. Just show up before 31 December and claim your cup. Plus, this isn’t a watered-down instant mix situation. It tastes like the real stuff. Smooth, rich and indulgent.

Should you go?
That says without going. It’s one of those tiny winter joys that make the season feel festive without blowing half your salary. Dubai doesn’t give us many sweater-weather moments, plus a free warm treat along.
The offer runs daily until the end of December. One hour, one cup and zero excuses.
