Luxent Hotel officially opened the holiday season on November 18, 2025, with its annual Christmas Tree Lighting ceremony held at the Lush Bar & Lounge in Quezon City. The event brought together partners, media, stakeholders, and guests in a gathering anchored on this year’s theme: a celebration of friendship, unity, and the spirit of togetherness — highlighting how kindness and connection illuminate the hotel’s Christmas village.
Now on its 13th year, the ceremony remains one of Luxent Hotel’s core traditions, reflecting its commitment to community-building and social responsibility. This year, the hotel introduced its chosen outreach beneficiary, Milagros Elderly Home Care, a facility that provides assisted daily living, dementia care, and post-operative support for seniors. Luxent Hotel will visit the home on December 12, 2025, as part of its annual outreach program.
The event featured performances by Venice Encinares, who has appeared on national television platforms including Showtime’s “Tawag ng Tanghalan,” and the Campus Ministry Ensemble of Adamson University, which opened the evening with a choral prelude.
Notable guests included Ivannovich Agote, OIC Assistant Regional Director of the Department of Tourism–NCR; Bob Zozobrado, General Manager and CEO of the Philippine Retirement Authority; media representatives; content creators; and vloggers. Members of the hotel’s leadership team also attended, led by General Manager Melanie Siy-Pagkalinawan, together with brand ambassador Lex, department heads, and the Sales & Marketing Team.
The celebration was made possible through the support of Luxent Hotel’s event partners: Destileria Limtuaco & Co., Inc., Cocktails Manila, Coffee Grounds Philippines, Jamin Lim Photography, Engraverything, Phoenix Royal Trading Co., Inc., Eastworld Sales Philippines, Inc., Love Scents & Co., and Thinkmor. Luxent Hotel is a four-star property offering 255 rooms, three dining outlets, two swimming pools, a gym, two grand ballrooms, multiple meeting spaces, and the only hotel-based KTV and Game Room in Quezon City — positioning it as a complete all-in-one destination for leisure, business, and events.
