The Holiday Season Begins at The Peninsula Manila...

A massive Christmas Tree lights up gracing the elegant lobby with a festive vibe. The holiday season begins at The Peninsula Manila...


The Peninsula Manila formally starts the holiday season with the much-awaited annual Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony last November 8, 2019 with the children from Make-A-Wish Foundation Philippines and the Manila Symphony Junior Orchestra. In the grand style of The Peninsula Manila, the holidays are welcomed with festive lights and treats as The Lobby becomes the metro's favorite meeting place this Christmas...

It's a holiday tradition that goes as far back as four decades at The Peninsula Manila's iconic lobby. Like a greeting card coming to life, the fragrant aroma of fresh-baked cookies and Christmas ornaments fill the graceful lobby to warm the hearts of visitors and guests.


The centerpiece of the hotel's holiday celebration is highlighted by The Lobby's 45-foot tall Christmas Tree adorned with ornaments and lights, shining bright like a beacon to usher in the festive vibe of the season.


The children of the Make-A-Wish Foundation Philippines complete the holiday spirit, marveling at the grand tree draped with intricate ornaments.

And there's just no better way to herald the start of Christmas than with the soothing notes of the Manila Symphony Junior Orchestra with a live performance at The Lobby. The soulful renditions of holiday classics fill The Lobby with a joyous holiday spirit...


...it's definitely Christmas at The Peninsula Manila.


Then, a countdown leads to the formal Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony...


...and the majestic lobby glistens with lights from miles of Christmas wreaths and velvet bows and the enormous Christmas Tree. The Lobby's Christmas Tree will remain lit starting November 8 all the way to December 26, 2019


The Peninsula Manila's Beverage Manager, Rico Deang, prepared his signature libations at The Lobby's bar...


...and a smooth Old-Fashioned gets you in the holiday groove in no time. A refreshing sip and a tasty bite under The Peninsula Manila's giant Christmas Tree reveals another facet to The Lobby experience.


The Lobby's sumptuous sandwiches should satisfy any hefty appetite, like the Roasted Turkey Club Sandwich (P 890) with slabs of tender turkey, fried egg, smoked bacon, garden-fresh and crisp lettuce and tomatoes slathered with a creamy Dijon aioli...


...and the tempting Pen Beef Burger (P 990) with a juicy all-beef patty topped with Gouda cheese, onions, smoked bacon and homemade pickles. 


Open wide and take a big bite to start your holiday season at The Peninsula Manila.


But it's the Pastrami Corned Beef Sandwich (P 890) with juicy slices of brined beef layered with Emmental cheese and sauerkraut draped with a rich Thousand Island dressing on grilled sourdough that will have you enjoying and savoring bite after bite.


Served with crisp fries, a side of coleslaw and homemade pickles, the Pastrami and an Old-Fashioned completes yet another memorable experience at The Lobby. It's just one of many reasons to vist The Lobby. It's Christmas...at The Peninsula Manila.
