Novotel Manila ushers in season of joy with Christmas tree-lighting

NOVOTEL Manila officially heralds the beginning of the festive season with the annual Christmas tree-lighting ceremony held at the hotel’s lobby.

Cluster General Manager Maria Manlulu-Garcia, with hotel manager Darwin Labayandoy, led the ceremonial affair with special guest Araneta City’s senior management consultant and executive director of J. Amado Araneta Foundation Inc. (JAAF) Rowell Recinto, along with Accor vice president for operations for Vietnam, Maldives and the Philippines Xavier Cappelut.

The night was a celebration in honor of the loyal hotel guests through Accor’s loyalty program, media friends and community partnership with JAAF.

“This time around, it is our time to give back. In the spirit of our fruitful partnership and the ethos of generosity, the Heartists (employees) of Novotel Araneta City have come together to pool our resources and to raise funds supporting J. Amado Araneta Foundation Inc., the social development arm of the Araneta Group dedicated to the vision and legacy of its founder — Mr. J. Amado Araneta. This is a testament that reflects our shared values as part of this community,” Garcia shared.

The lighting ceremony also highlighted Accor’s very own award-winning loyalty program, ALL or Accor Live Limitless, for its holiday campaign, “Celebration for ALL,” a special treat to the program’s loyalists wherein members can have access to the members’ private sale and enjoy 25 percent off at thrilling locations in over 750 hotels for reservations made until Nov. 27, 2023, for stays until March 2024.
