As Siam Kempinski Hotel Bangkok carries on this annual European tradition and showcases it in the heart of the city, it provides its discerning guests with something to look forward to as the year-end approaches. Along with the Siam Kempinski Hotel Bangkok’s team, young and local talents are given the chance to shine and deliver beautiful performances that are a cherished passion of the Kempinski Group.
On 1 December 2022, Siam Kempinski Hotel Bangkok held its annual Christmas lighting ritual and concertini, a Kempinski tradition in the festive grandeur of the lobby. The iconic ‘Ladies and Gentlemen in Red’ presented the lighting ceremony followed by the official Christmas tree lighting ritual, conducted by the hotel’s managing director, Richard Schestak, together with Santa Claus.
A festive entertainment programme led into a Christmas concertini performance by ten talented young singers from Jinta Music School. This was followed by excerpts from Tchaikovsky’s ‘The Nutcracker – Mother Ginger Edition’ by Bangkok City Ballet, and finally, the king of the North Pole, Santa Claus, made a grand appearance as the lobby erupted into applause. A grand 8 m-high Christmas tree decorated with luxurious stellar blue-and-gold colour ornaments to mark Kempinski’s 125th anniversary towered above all performances.
Indulge in the happiest month of the year at Siam Kempinski Hotel Bangkok, where the lobby transforms into a dreamy paradise with the aromas of pine trees and baked cinnamon pastries, and the Polar Express choo-choos pass the gingerbread villages beneath the giant Christmas tree. Join the holiday festivities at Siam Kempinski Hotel Bangkok and witness Santa Claus and the performances that will leave impressions for a lifetime.
