In the heart of Bonifacio Global City, where modern elegance meets vibrant urban living, Seda Bonifacio Global City (BGC) officially kicked off the festive season with its annual Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony on 28 November.

The lobby transformed into a cozy, glowing sanctuary — adorned with golden lights, rich holiday reds and sparkling ornaments — setting the stage for an evening of warmth, gratitude and celebration.

The ceremony began with a festive countdown and as the Christmas tree came to life — bathed in soft amber light and shimmering accents — the crowd was instantly wrapped in the spirit of the season.

Guests, partners, and hotel patrons paused to admire the spectacle, capturing the moment with photos, smiles and spontaneous cheer.

Following the tree lighting, the evening shifted from celebration to recognition as Seda BGC proudly accepted its official four-star plaque — marking a significant milestone in the hotel’s journey toward elevated hospitality and exceptional guest experiences. The recognition served as a meaningful reflection of Seda’s commitment to refined service, comfort and genuine Filipino warmth.

The celebration continued with another exciting reveal — the opening of the hotel’s newest treasure: Sikreto, an intimate rooftop bar. Overlooking the BGC skyline, Sikreto is designed to be a refined yet relaxed hideaway where guests can enjoy handcrafted cocktails, ambient music and soulful conversations under the city lights.

General manager Emile Otte led the program, offering words that beautifully captured the evening’s meaning and the heart of the holidays.

“May this season remind us what truly matters — connection, gratitude, and the joy of coming together,” he shared, inviting guests to embrace not just the beauty of the lights, but the deeper spirit of gathering.

The night flowed with elegant canapés, live music and conversations that lingered long after the lights were switched on. It wasn’t just a celebration — it was a reminder of how meaningful moments are created when people come together, share stories and welcome new beginnings.

This holiday season, Seda BGC isn’t just lighting up its lobby — it’s lighting up hearts, memories and the promise of brighter days ahead.
