Marriott Manila Welcomes Holiday Season With The Lighting of Its Christmas Tree and Marriott Bonvoy Lantern

Marriott Hotel Manila officially welcomed the festive holiday season with the annual lighting of its Christmas Tree and Marriott Bonvoy Lantern on November 5, 2024. This is an event we have always attended as Marriott is usually one of the first hotel properties to open the Christmas season.

The bright and merry evening was filled with music and dancing as Marriott Manila continues its Paskonstelasyon events to spread joy, hope, and cheer while supporting a worthy cause. Of course, it won't be complete without the Golden Santa crashing the party.

The event opened at the Greatroom of Marriott Manila with special songs performed by the children's choir to serenade the evening's special guests.

Then the countdown began to light up the giant Christmas Tree at the hotel lobby. Special guests included Miss Universe 1973 Margie Moran together with hotel executives led by Marriott Manila Multi-Property Vice President and Cluster General Manager Bruce Winton.

The Golden Santa surprised the kids with gifts and treats to make them feel the Christmas spirit.

The party then moved over to the Marriott Ballroom where a special program was in store for the guests.

Cocktails and refreshments were available at the bar. The beverage lineup included Brandy Cappuccino, Madras, Appleton, and Gin Tonic.

A light dinner was also prepared at the festive buffet tables. Guests can partake of the cheese appetizers as well as the Christmas Ham carving station.

Other items included pasta, sausages, tacos, as well as canapés.

Desserts were also on display with cakes, cookies, brownies, macarons, and other sweet treats ready for picking.

The main beneficiary of the Tree Lighting event was Bereber Sayaw PD, a foundation that harnesses the power of dance to help individuals with Parkinson's Disease. Bereber Sayaw founder Novy Japitana Bereber opened with his story about how he found his calling and how teaching his students also gives him happiness and fulfillment.

Several dance numbers were performed on stage representing the daily struggles of those living with Parkinson's Disease.

The program ended with Marriott Manila executives and Bereber Sayaw PD performers receiving a warm round of applause from the guests. But the evening was not yet done, because up next was a performance from the Maneuvers Ignite and beats from DJ Yuuna.

We would like to thank Marriott Manila Cluster Director of Marketing Communications Archie Nicasio for hosting us during their annual Tree Lighting event. Watch out for the holiday promotions and events this festive season at Marriott Manila.

Banqueta Wednesdays at Marriott Cafe Offers Unlimited Steak and Elevated Street Food Buffet

Most of us grew up enjoying Filipino street food, from the classic fishballs and turon, to the more exotic isaw, kwek kwek, and adidas. Most of these delicacies are quite familiar to me, but as I grew older, I encountered them less frequently, especially since street food is seen to be less hygienic. That's why I was happy to find out that we can now enjoy all these classic favorites at a cleaner and much safer environment with Marriott Cafe's Banqueta Wednesdays!

Marriott Cafe is Marriott Manila’s all day dining restaurant located at the ground floor lobby. You can now enjoy unlimited steak, seafood, and Filipino street food favorites in a refined setting every Wednesday dinner from 6:00pm to 9:00 pm at the Banqueta Wednesdays for only ₱2,999 nett per person.

Banqueta Wednesdays is the ultimate night market with a wide variety of Filipino street food stations, unlimited steak and international buffet selections at their open-theatre kitchens. 

You can start at the appetizers and salad stations which offers various breads and Asian starters like kimchi, spicy fish cake, mushroom dinakdakan, itlog na maalat at kamatis, and others.

Then head over to the main buffet table where you can get some Baked Penne, Vegetable Casserole, and Polenta together with a few wraps of Shawarma.

The Seafood Paella is one of the highlights here with its delicious combination of crabs, mussels, and prawns on a bed of flavorful paella rice.

Just beside this is the carving station which has this gorgeous Porchetta as the centerpiece. The skin is so crispy so make sure you get a few slices for yourself.

They also have a pasta station where you can ask for Grandma's Pomodoro that will be freshly cooked for you a la minute.

Next, make your way to the Japanese station where you can find a colorful selection of sushi together with Takoyaki Balls and Okonomiyaki.

The main attraction at Banqueta Wednesdays is the Banqueta Display right in the center of the buffet area. Here you can find an assortment of Filipino street food favorites like chicken isaw, pork isaw, fishballs, vegetable skewers, and okoy.

Other exotic items available include pork ears, kwek kwek, tokneneng, pork barbecue, and adidas or chicken feet. These are items that you do not typically see in a five-star hotel buffet but Marriott Cafe makes these accessible to everyone during Banqueta Wednesdays. They even have some Balut and Penoy eggs.

Marriott Cafe goes one step further because aside from all the Filipino street food, you can also enjoy unlimited steak, crabs, prawns, mussels, clams, and squid.

Just pick the items and skewers you like and hand them over to the grilling station. These will be cooked right on the spot and delivered straight to your table.

Now these are items you don't see every day at five star hotels! These classic Filipino street food dishes also bring a sense of nostalgia for those who used to eat these during their childhood.

Of course, you can also enjoy the more luxurious side of Banqueta Wednesdays with unlimited servings of steak to go with your choice of seafood.

Don't forget about the other international stations at Marriott Cafe like the Chinese station. Here you can find Chinese roastings including roast pork and roast chicken. There's also several dimsum specialties to choose from.

The Paluto station is also a must visit with its live fish that you can cooked according to your liking. Have it steamed in soy sauce or cooked Singaporean style with sweet chili sauce.

To make Banqueta Wednesdays even more authentic, there's a small sari sari store offering Samalamig beverages like buck panda, sago't gulaman, and melon drinks. Make sure to grab some street snacks too.

The Dessert station offers many ways to complete your steak and street food buffet. You can get some fruits, brownies, cookies, egg tarts, and Filipino desserts like sapin-sapin, kutsinta, cassava cake, and more that you can dip inside the grand Chocolate Fountain.

There are also several cakes and pastries to choose from including Brownie Pie, Swiss Strawberry Roll, Chocolate Mousse, and Swan Puff Diplomat. You can also get as many scoops of gelato as you want at the Gelato station.

Guests can also order Marriott Cafe's Drink of the Month which can be served in alcoholic or non-alcoholic versions. This comes with a very cute stuffed toy that you can bring home with you.

Banqueta Wednesdays is available every Wednesday until December 18, 2024. For inquiries and reservations, you may call them 8988-9999 and [phone]. Enjoy an elevated street food buffet experience only at Marriott Manila!
