For a truly magical Christmas and New Year, Hotel Phoenicia is laying on a full festive programme packed with live events, music, carol singing, exquisite dining, mulled wine, festive afternoon teas, an elegant setting and a lively atmosphere. Whether you choose to have an intimate meal with family and friends in one of the sleek 5-star restaurants, or join in celebrations with a private party, the Phoenicia team will be on hand to take the utmost care to ensure everyone has a thoroughly enjoyable time this Christmas. The Amadeus Choir, Godwin Lucas Band, Tony Pace, and Tony Polidano and Friends, are just some of the well-known live musical treats to create the right festive mood.
In the distinctive Palm Court Lounge throughout the month of December a delightful and Christmas-inspired afternoon tea will revive weary shoppers after their exertions. Savour freshly made finger sandwiches and baked scones before being tempted by the delicate cakes and fancies. An 'institution' at this time of the year, enjoy with a range of fine loose-leaf teas or add a bit of sparkle with a glass of Champagne.
Phoenicia revels in its 70-year tradition of serving the Maltese business community and this year corporate and business people can enjoy a Christmas party with a difference. This is the chance to reward staff for their hard work during the year. Start with a welcome cocktail to get every-one in a festive mood. Enjoy a variety of festive menus to choose from and celebrate into the night. The Phoenicia has grand scale or small and intimate rooms to suit each occasion. With an excellent range of spacious and elegant private event suites for up to 1000 guests, award-winning cuisine and 5-star service, Hotel Phoenicia aims to ensure each event is unique to the specific needs of guests.
On Christmas Day, lunch with all the traditional British favourites and trimmings, along with some exciting modern Mediterranean dishes, served in the elegant yet relaxed setting of Pegasus or in the refined salon of Phoenix. Adults can savour fine Champagne and wines, while the children recover from Santa’s visit. Christmas Lunch at the Phoenix is traditionally the highlight of the Xmas period for a number of families who book every year, so much so that this is already sold out.
For a truly memorable evening, celebrate the start of 2014 at Hotel Phoenicia with a New Year’s Eve Gala Dinner in the elegant Phoenix. Enjoy a Mediterranean inspired 7 course menu prepared by Executive Chef Saul Halevi and his award-winning brigade of chefs - champagne welcome, popping corks, flowing wine, live music and laughter. A New Year's Eve Countdown Party with the Godwin Lucas Band will usher in 2014. On January 1st, bring in the New Year in style with a glorious buffet lunch at Phoenix with entertainment by Tony Polidano and Friends or a delightful and intimate luncheon in Pegasus.
Francesco Perricone, Phoenicia’s Food & Beverage Manager says, "The historic and beautiful surroundings of Hotel Phoenicia are the perfect place to spend an unforgettable New Year’s Eve. After dinner, there will be music and dancing to see in the New Year. Let's just say that it's quite a bash! The champagne welcome sets the mood for a spirited night of celebration on New Year's Eve. Local people are very enthusiastic about New Year celebrations here at Phoenicia. After all, this is the time when people want to have fun. Queries have started pouring in and many have already booked a place, we are offering elaborate menus and good music. With positive energy surrounding us in the capital city, we are expecting a happy mood for all the celebrations."
If your theme for 2014 is 'Grandeur and Glamour', then look no further than the Phoenicia. One word of advice. You should make your reservations early, because Hotel Phoenicia's New Year's Eve Gala is usually a sell out.
