On November 6, 2024, The Manila Hotel officially welcomed the holiday season with eagerly anticipated Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony. The Grand Dame sparkled with renewed grandeur, marking the beginning of the season in timeless style.
A Festive Celebration of Filipino Heritage
Each year, the hotel's grand lobby transforms into the heart of Manila’s Christmas festivities, with a towering Christmas tree adorned in sparkling ornaments and twinkling lights taking center stage. This year, guests are invited to a uniquely Filipino holiday celebration with the theme, Pasko Natin! – a heartfelt tribute to the Philippines’ rich cultural heritage infused with the warmth of the season.
This year’s elegant décor is the creation of The Manila Hotel’s Social Director and Design Consultant, Rachy Cuna, who has masterfully incorporated salakot, a traditional Filipino headgear, and native materials. This design showcases Filipino artistry, creating a memorable Filipino Christmas experience that honors tradition while embracing the season’s joy.
