Marco Polo Ortigas Manila officially ushered in the holiday season with its annual Golden Nights Tree Lighting Ceremony, held Monday night, 3 November, at the hotel’s Sky Lobby in Ortigas.
The event gathered hotel patrons, media partners and representatives from the Department of Tourism, the Pasig City Government, the Pasig City Cultural Affairs and Tourism Office, and the Pasig City Tourism Council — reinforcing the hotel’s commitment to community engagement and local tourism partnerships.
Musical performances by Cathy Go, The Manila String Machine, and Voce de Angeli set a festive tone as guests welcomed the start of the Christmas season.
“We are honored to welcome another season of celebration and togetherness,” Marco Polo Ortigas Manila general manager Fredrik Johansson said. “Golden Nights reflects the joy of connection and the timeless warmth that this season inspires.”
The hotel also unveiled a lineup of holiday offerings. Café Pronto will feature its annual collection of holiday treats and gift hampers, while Cucina will serve a buffet of international and Filipino favorites. Lung Hin will offer special Cantonese set menus, and Connect Lounge will host seasonal afternoon tea service. Vu’s Sky Bar and Lounge is set to hold its New Year’s Eve countdown party overlooking the Manila skyline.
