Countdown to Christmas and New Year 2019 @ Renaissance Kuala Lumpur Hotel

'Tis the season to be jolly, fa la la la la la la la....
Can you feel the Christmas vibes? Commemorate this festive season at Renaissance Kuala Lumpur Hotel with loved ones over festive brunches, dinners and a dazzling New Year's Eve experiences and staycations.

The hotel's annual Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony was held on 22 November 2018 with notable guests of the city along with guests residing at the hotel, partaking in the festivities. The lobby ringing with peals of delightful Christmas carols and a Gingerbread House, marks a whole different dimension to the festivities.

It is not what's under the Christmas tree, but who's around it that counts!
In the true spirit of giving, which is really the cornerstone of Christmas celebrations, guests are invited to help build the Gingerbread House brick by brick. Guests may purchase a brick, valued at RM50nett (bottom tier), RM150nett (top tier) and RM300nett (middle tier) and have their name or the name of a loved one piped on it and mounted on the house. Proceeds from the sale of these bricks will be donated to the children of Good Samaritan Home in Klang.

A few weeks back, we had the honour to participate in Renaissance's annual Christmas cake mixing ceremony to usher in the festive season.

It was so much fun adorned in chef hat mixing the colourful dry fruits, raisins, cherries, dates and nuts with liquor. The mixture will be soaked for up to a year, as the longer it soaks, add more flavour to the cake. 

This year, tantalise your taste buds with a line-up of exquisite cuisine and exciting activities at Renaissance Kuala Lumpur Hotel. From scrumptious menus and decadent festive buffets to special staycations offers on guestrooms, enchanting options for gifts and takeaways, as well as a lively celebration for the New Year, there is definitely something for everyone to delight in.
