The Peninsula Bangkok has been a beloved holiday destination for guests during the Christmas and New Year’s seasons for many years. Travelers from around the world, as well as local Bangkok residents, gather at the resort along the Chao Phraya River to partake in festive meals, performances, activities, and the opportunity to create special memories together.
This year, the festive experiences at the property focus on traditional holiday pleasures, such as enjoying deliciously prepared dishes and treats, listening to enchanting holiday music, and participating in delightful activities and gift-sharing with family and friends. In the spirit of the holidays and the longstanding Peninsula tradition, the hotel also allows guests to contribute to a local charity organization.
The Peninsula Bangkok is particularly delighted to offer magical pursuits for families during Christmas. The hotel’s Advent Calendar Evenings, held every night from December 1 to 24, feature the opening of a new window on the magnificent two-meter-tall advent calendar in The Lobby. These joyful gatherings at 5:00 pm reveal chocolates, candies, and toys for children, and adults can enjoy glühwein (mulled wine). Characters from the advent calendar’s whimsical illustrations, including the Reindeer, the Red Robin, the Gingerbread Man, the Nutcracker, and Santa Claus, make appearances.
The hotel’s signature Afternoon Tea is specially tailored for children during the holiday season. Held in The Lobby restaurant against the backdrop of an 18-foot-tall Canadian spruce tree, the Festive Afternoon Tea features traditional savory and sweet delights. A portion of proceeds from each sale is donated to The Mirror Foundation, a non-profit organization dedicated to protecting and empowering the indigenous hill tribes of Northern Thailand. The tea is served daily between 2:00 and 6:00 pm from December 1 to 30.
The acclaimed chefs at The Peninsula Bangkok showcase dazzling culinary heights during the holidays, especially on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. Festive cuisine is offered at all the resort’s restaurants, accompanied by live holiday music performances and lively fireworks.
