16-FT HOT AIR BALLOON IS THIS HOTEL’S CHRISTMAS ATTRACTION

Sheraton Manila Bay kicked off the holiday season with a festive carnival-inspired lighting ceremony.

The hotel marks the start of the yuletide season with its 16feet carnival hot air balloon at the newly refurbished lobby.

All Marriott properties in the Philippines unite in a collective celebration of “Paskonstelasyon” where each Marriott hotel and resort consecutively launched their own holiday festivities with the debut of their symbolic star.

The Marriott Bonvoy constellation of stars include the Carnival Star (Sheraton Manila Bay), the Soiree Star (Sheraton Manila Hotel), the Destination Star (Sheraton Cebu Mactan Resort), the North Star (Clark Marriott Hotel), the Vacation Star (Courtyard by Marriott Iloilo) and the Brilliant Star (Manila Marriott Hotel).

The carnival hot air balloon features a velvet gold and red sleigh filled with gifts, circus elements, clowns, Christmas drums, jester bears and a prominent display of lighted parol.

Sheraton Manila Bay is accepting order for holiday hampers, grazing boxes and homemade goodies.
