## Short answer

Baccarat Hotel & Residences Dubai has a registered completion date of 29 December 2026 in the Dubai Land Department project register, but the DLD inspection of 3 September 2026 recorded only 21.16% complete. The developer-supplied date is Q2 2027, and Property Finder lists December 2027 for the Phase 2 tower. At that inspection about 79% of the work remained for the last four months of 2026.

## Baccarat Hotel & Residences Dubai handover date: the latest position

Baccarat Hotel & Residences Dubai has a registered completion date of 29 December 2026 in the Dubai Land Department (DLD) project register. The DLD inspection of 3 September 2026 recorded 21.16% complete, so close to four fifths of the work remained less than four months before that date. Full project details are on the [Baccarat Hotel & Residences Dubai](/projects/baccarat-hotel-and-residences-dubai/) page.

The later dates in circulation are Q2 2027, supplied by the developer to Continental Club, and December 2027, which Property Finder lists for the Phase 2 tower. Shamal Holding has not published a revised opening date for the hotel.

## Baccarat Hotel & Residences Dubai handover date by building

The DLD register holds one project with two buildings and one registered date. Portals split the sales into two phases.

|---|---|---|---|
| Whole project, 2 buildings (98 units) | 21.16% (3 Sep 2026) | 29 Dec 2026 | Q2 2027 (developer, via Continental Club) |
| Tower one: hotel and first 49 residences | Not reported separately | 29 Dec 2026 | Q4 2026 in the 2024 payment plan (Off Plan Bazaar) |
| Phase 2 tower | Not reported separately | 29 Dec 2026 | December 2027 (Property Finder) |

DLD figures via Continental Club, registry updated 7 October 2026. The 2023 announcement placed the 144-room hotel and 49 residences in tower one.

## What the Baccarat Hotel & Residences Dubai handover date means for payments

The plan is 5% on booking, 15% on the SPA, four instalments of 10% at 6, 12, 18 and 24 months after the SPA, and 40% on completion (Off Plan Bazaar). The four 10% instalments run on the calendar, so most buyers reach 60% paid well before completion. The 40% balance, about AED 9.6 million on a 3 bedroom at the AED 23.9 million registered median, falls due only when the building is completed.

## What to check before relying on the Baccarat Hotel & Residences Dubai date

1. **Which phase the SPA refers to.** Phase 1 material quoted Q4 2026; Property Finder gives Q4 2027 for Phase 2.
2. **The SPA completion date and grace period,** since the registered 29 December 2026 date will pass with the project far from finished.
3. **The construction pace.** Continental Club measures about 1.11 points a month over the past year; reaching completion by December 2027 would need about 5 points a month.
