Grand Westside Manila Bay welcomes the festive season with “A European Christmas Village, A Filipino Heart,” a celebration inspired by the charm of European Christmas markets and the warmth of Filipino holiday traditions.
Officially introduced on November 5, 2026, the hotel’s Christmas programme brings together seasonal markets, festive dining, thoughtful gifts, and holiday experiences for guests of all ages. Inspired by the European village atmosphere and the Filipino love for family gatherings, sharing, and generosity, the celebrations aim to make the season more memorable for guests and the wider community.
The festivities begin with the hotel’s Christmas Tree Lighting, featuring Christmas carols, festive entertainment, and the unveiling of its Christmas Village. The occasion will also mark the launch of the hotel’s Christmas giving initiative.
