The Sheraton Tianjin Hotel is one of the most prestigious hotels in Tianjin. For many years, the hotel’s team has been giving the community joyous and elegant moments that soon were to become traditions that expats happily join.

One of these traditions is the Tree-Lighting Ceremony, an event that hundreds of people attended last Friday, December 3. But what’s so special about this celebration? The fact that people feel welcomed and part of something greater. This year, the Sheraton organized an amazing auction. What were guests auctioning? Paradise! Trips from Hong Kong to the mesmerizing Fiji, four nights at the Maldives, Hainan, and many other breathtaking destinations that anyone would be more than lucky to travel to helped the Sheraton fight for a greater cause. All the funds collected from the auction, an outstanding total of 85,000 RMB, reverted to ICCO, Tianjin’s orphanage. This year, many children that need surgery and other special and expensive medical treatments will get what they wished for the most, specialised and quality medical care.

During the auction, the children from the orphanage presented their guests with their beauty and innocence singing delightful season songs!

And of course, after much excitement, performances, great appetizers and fragrant wine came the ceremony everyone was waiting for, the tree-lighting. Once more the spirit of Christmas embodied all the guests, the joy spread and a wonderful dinner was shared by generous, in high spirits people!

On 3 December, The Astor Hotel has officially started its first holiday season with the Christmas tree lighting ceremony, since its reopening. The celebrations were carried out by Mr. Martin Verpoorten, the hotel’s General Manager with a brief speech, followed by a choir singing traditional Christmas carols. When the lights went off in the Victoria Lounge, every guest was given a candle to hold whilst singing carols. The joy of Christmas could be felt in a very special setting, the taste of genuine German mulled wine sweetened the guests’ palate and night. With the lights still off, the management team went on stage and altogether pressed the button that lit the Christmas tree. After the ceremony was finished, guests could enjoy canapés and wines by the sound of live classical music.

Astor’s first Christmas will be celebrated with all the tradition that the hotel embodies, during the month of December a daily Christmas buffet will be offered at Café Majestic and for the night of Christmas Eve a very special buffet will be served offering the specials roast turkey and Christmas pudding. All prepared in the old English style and lucky draw prizes including a holiday for two! Sure you want to miss it?
