The sweet sound of Christmas

Malta Independent Monday, 19 November 2012, 09:24 Last update: about 11 years ago

If you are not yet muttering famous Christmas tunes, you can count on Le Méridien's Christmas portfolio to feed your imagination and leave you craving for the upcoming festive season.

This year, the hospitality team of Le Méridien St Julians Hotel & Spa in Balluta Bay has built its Christmas outlook around the unifying theme of music. A heartening choice that offers the great faculty of gathering crowds, whilst leaving the hotel ample space to elaborate their menus and Christmas decoration in an enchanting, yet captivating way. Here, the usual Christmas functions promise to deploy into perfect “orchestrations” and each piece of the concept pledges to be a vibrant medley of Christmas memories.

 “This year for us, music is key”, explains Melissa Caruana, Marketing Executive at Le Méridien St Julians. “We have chosen and developed our concept around this theme for the simple reason that we could still offer our patrons the traditional spirit that is expected for Christmas events, but it would also allow us to take it to a whole different level. The idea was very well received in all departments involved. Our creative kitchen brigade came up with menus articulated around famous musicals and inspiring quotes related to the vast world of music. Our Christmas brochure itself was designed with our theme in mind and each word was chosen carefully, to transport our clients to an inviting world from their selection process to the event itself.”

The mission statement of the concept presented in Le Méridien Christmas brochure is indeed very inspiring. The 5 star property commits to strike the chord of their guests's expectations, providing a sweet-sounding ambiance favourable to the magical atmosphere of Christmas. Impeccable service, creative cuisine and unique experiences seem to be on top of the hotel's priority list – or should we say music sheet?

Ana Nogueira, Room Division Executive, is already carefully and frantically preparing the appropriate “christmas outfits” to dress up each venue of the hotel: “We will be ready for our official Christmas Launch on the 30th of November, but there is a lot to be done to reflect this year's theme in each and every corner of the hotel. We are very excited about it all, but we don't want to reveal too much either, so that our visitors can still enjoy the element of surprise. What I can tell you is that our Reception hall and our Lobby Bar will boast magical enhancements inspired by two very famous musicals. I can guarantee that it will certainly delight children and parents alike.”

So this Christmas, Le Méridien St Julians Hotel & Spa is aiming at unveiling the perfect harmony, creating a unique Christmas composition with the instruments of a sumptuous cuisine, a creative set-up and a musical atmosphere that will reveal itself for all visitors throughout the whole month of December. In the meantime, and until Le Méridien captures the music of the night, we'll keep on mumbling these cheerful Christmas tunes. Because it is soon Christmas, after all.
