Grand Westside Manila Bay welcomes the festive season with “A European Christmas Village, A Filipino Heart,” a celebration that brings the charm of European Christmas markets together with the warmth of Filipino holiday traditions.
Inspired by the festive atmosphere of European villages and the Filipino love of family gatherings, sharing and generosity, the hotel’s Christmas programme brings together seasonal markets, festive dining, thoughtful gifts and holiday experiences for guests of all ages.
The celebrations begin with the hotel’s Christmas Tree Lighting, featuring Christmas carols, festive entertainment and the unveiling of its Christmas Village. The evening will also mark the launch of the hotel’s Christmas giving initiative, extending the spirit of the season to the wider community.
“Christmas is always a special time for us at Grand Westside Manila Bay. It’s an opportunity to welcome families and friends, share good food and enjoy the traditions that bring us together,” said Joe Xavier Fijardo, General Manager of Grand Westside Manila Bay. “As we celebrate another year with our guests and partners, we hope to make this season especially memorable, with the warmth of Filipino hospitality at the heart of it all.”
A Christmas Village to Discover
Inspired by the traditional Christmas markets of Europe, The Christmas Village Market will feature chalet-inspired stalls offering seasonal treats, local delicacies, Christmas gifts and festive finds.
Adding a sweeter touch to the celebrations, the hotel’s Christmas Chocolate Trolley will offer handcrafted chocolates, pralines and festive cookies. Pastry Chef Erwin Manes and his team have also prepared a collection of Christmas cakes, priced at ₱2,400 net per cake, including the classic Black Forest Cake, Chocolate Christmas Yule Log, Blue Christmas (blueberry and mango mousse), and Gingerbread Cake (milk chocolate and eggnog mousse). The Merry Berry, featuring raspberry and dark chocolate mousse, is available on a pre-order basis. The Christmas cakes will be available from 12 November onwards at Quick To Go, located in the hotel lobby. Traditional favourites such as stollen, panettone and gingerbread creations complete the festive selection, with plenty of choices for sharing and gifting.
For those looking to share a little Christmas cheer, the hotel has prepared four festive hamper collections: Little Village Joy (₱1,800), Christmas Market Delights (₱2,800), Holiday Village Treasures (₱3,200) and Grand Christmas Celebration (₱5,800).
