The festive spirit came alive at Conrad Manila as it kicked off the Christmas season with a dazzling tree-lighting ceremony on November 12. The hotel’s grand lobby was bathed in warm, twinkling lights, exuding the magic of the holidays, while the melodious strains of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s Exsultate, Jubilate and Antonio Vivaldi’s Winter—performed by the Manila Symphony Junior Orchestra—filled the air. Families, dignitaries, and guests gathered under the towering stand of white Christmas trees, creating a heartwarming ambiance of love, joy, and togetherness.
Fabio Berto, Conrad Manila’s General Manager, welcomed guests with heartfelt remarks, emphasizing the hotel’s commitment to being a haven for cherished moments this season. “Conrad Manila embodies the essence of ‘home,’ where familial bonds and festive celebrations come alive,” Berto said. “As we revel in the joys of Christmas, may we find deeper purpose in the spirit of giving.”
