The Marriott Bonvoy Soiree Lantern cast its golden glow, illuminating the splendid Christmas tree and encapsulating the festive spirit.
An Unforgettable Night of Joy, Unity, and Purpose
This year’s annual tree and lantern lighting at Sheraton Manila Hotel held special significance as part of the Sheraton Soiree campaign. Originating in September with the “Sundown Soiree,” it marked the countdown to Sheraton Manila Hotel’s upcoming 5th anniversary on January 16, 2014, at the Sheraton Ballroom. The event embodied Sheraton Manila Hotel’s commitment to creating memorable moments and shared experiences.
Welcoming each guest with warmth and the signature Sheraton festive drink, the night set the tone for ‘Gather to Give.’ Attendees captured and shared special moments, fostering a spirit of festivity filled with hope and togetherness.
The celebration, opened by General Manager Anna Vergara, emphasized the profound impact of unity and giving during the holiday season. Aligned with the hotel’s white-themed goodwill, she acknowledged Sheraton Manila Hotel’s commitment to building sustainable partnerships and communities, underscoring the invaluable contributions of the audience.
Yuletide Offers & Community Collaborations
Central to the event, the ‘Merry & Bright: Joyful Gatherings at Sheraton Manila Hotel Holiday Brochure,’ revealed exclusive offers and delightful surprises. From sweet holiday treats to sumptuous staples, it transformed the festive season into something truly special.
Exciting collaborations were highlighted, including an upcoming bar takeover with 1834 Gin and The Lounge’s resident mixologists, promising an evening of exquisite cocktails and delightful entertainment. Another awaited venture involved an arts and crafts collaboration with “Googly Gooeys,” enabling guests to craft unique holiday keepsakes. These collaborations added an extra layer of excitement to the magical evening.
Purposeful Giving Lights Up the Evening
