THE Manila Hotel ushered in the holiday season with a festive celebration steeped in Filipino traditions as it held its annual tree lighting ceremony on November 9.

The focal point of the festivity was the splendid Christmas tree, meticulously adorned with opulent golden ylang-ylang blooms. The color palette featured a harmonious blend of gold, natural hues and vibrant red, creating a visually stunning display that resonated with the essence of the season. The concept and execution of this holiday decor was the brainchild of Rachy Cuna, The Manila Hotel creative and design director.
