Anantara Siam Bangkok Hotel hosted a magnificent Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony to mark the beginning of the Christmas and New Year festive season. This year’s celebration was presented under the concept “Legacy in White,” reflecting the hotel’s timeless elegance while celebrating its rich artistic heritage and enduring cultural legacy.
​
The concept draws inspiration from the majestic mural painting located at the hotel’s main staircase landing, a masterpiece by the late Khun Kuad Phaiboon Suwannakud, a pioneering master of contemporary Thai mural painting. The mural portrays the founding of Bangkok as the capital and the establishment of the Chakri Dynasty, serving as an iconic identity of Anantara Siam Bangkok for over four decades and remaining a symbol of its timeless grandeur today.

A string-and-piano quintet, performed by five exceptionally gifted musicians, presented a thoughtfully curated repertoire of classical masterpieces. From the playful charm of The Nutcracker to timeless holiday favorites, each note was delivered with remarkable precision, captivating an audience of distinguished guests and notable personalities.

ABOUT THE NEGRONI  
It was around the year 1919 in Florence when Count Camillo Negroni contemplated ordering an Americano cocktail but decided it was time for a change. He requested it with a touch of gin instead of soda, inspired by his last trip to London and its prevalent gin scene. The bartender was pleased to honour Count Camillo Negroni’s request and added an orange garnish rather than the lemon wedge of the Americano, to signify the new drink he had created. In Florence, the Count’s ‘usual’ became known as Count Negroni’s Americano, or the “Americano with a touch of gin”, but regardless of how it was referred to back then, the Negroni was born. The Negroni is now one of the most famous contemporary classic cocktails. Anywhere you go in the world, you will find a mixologist who can make you the iconic Negroni. The original recipe – a perfectly balanced combination of equal parts of Campari, sweet red Vermouth, and London Dry gin – is more than a century old and continues to be enjoyed today. According to Drinks International Cocktail report 2025, Negroni is the #1 best-selling classic cocktail in the world’s best bars. The International Bartenders Association (IBA) lists Campari as an official ingredient of the Negroni, and thus, there is no Negroni without Campari!
