Hyderabad: The holiday season arrived at Sheraton Hyderabad, not just with a glow, but with a statement. In a lobby transformed into a Christmas wonderland of reindeers, sledges, and a whimsical gingerbread house, the hotel hosted a Tree Lighting ceremony that blended festive tradition with a powerful message of sustainability.
Breaking away from conventional fir trees, the centerpiece of the evening was a stunning installation crafted entirely from the hotel’s scrap metal and repurposed linen. This unique concept of upcycled luxury served as the backdrop for a vibrant gathering of in-house guests, local patrons, and excited children.
The atmosphere was electric as a live band swooned to classic carols, backed by a choir of children whose singing set the rhythm for the evening. As the lights went up, the culinary team began their own show. Guests were treated to a gastronomic hug of winter flavors: traditional Stollen, crisp ginger cookies, rich almond cinnamon cakes, and the warmth of flowing mulled wine and eggnog.
However, the undisputed showstopper of the culinary spread was the massive 12-foot Yuletide log cake. A labor of love, the cake took the pastry team 72 continuous hours to construct, serving as a delicious testament to the hotel's dedication to grandeur.
Subhankar Bose, General Manager of Sheraton Hyderabad, commented on the unique theme: “Our tree, crafted from scrap materials, proves that elegance and sustainability can coexist beautifully. It was truly heartwarming to see our community come together to celebrate the season with a conscience.”
Adding to the evening’s excitement, the hotel unveiled the theme for its upcoming New Year celebrations, ‘Ticket to London’, promising guests a British-inspired extravaganza to ring in 2026.
The event was orchestrated by Sourav Pal Chowdhury, Assistant Director of Food & Beverage, who ensured the evening was a feast for all senses. “From the aroma of fresh cinnamon to our massive 12-foot log cake, we wanted a complete sensory feast. My team spent 72 hours perfecting that cake, and seeing the guests’ delight made every moment worth it.”
