上海凱賓斯基大酒店舉辦圣誕慈善點燈儀式
——守望之光,燃耀希望
One of the most highly anticipated dates on the social calendar, the Christmas tree lighting ceremony at the main lobby of Grand Kempinski Hotel Shanghai was held on the 26th of November to herald the start of the festive season.
2020年11月26日晚,上海凱賓斯基大酒店成功舉辦了一場“守望之光,燃耀希望”慈善點燈儀式,冬季已經來臨,象征溫暖和長壽的燈火,溫暖的照亮了隆冬的黑暗,也讓人們滿懷希望期待新一年的到來。在場百余位來賓共同見證和分享了這一溫情時刻,正式拉開了歡樂且溫暖的圣誕季帷幕。
In the spirit of giving, guests donated generously to charity program “Soap of Hope”, which raises money for the distribution of soap to poor communities in rural China in order to improve sanitation and reduce the chances of serious infections, as well as create a livelihood for the local communities by recycling and making soap. It gives hotels such as our own a meaningful way to recycle and involve staff members in a project that makes a positive impact on society. This year, guests who donated 100 RMB or more received a charming gift of soap, as well as a customized piece of brick made from gingerbread. Our chefs wrote the benefactor’s name or company on it and it was attached to our large gingerbread house at lobby lounge.
上海凱賓斯基大酒店一如既往的積極慈善,牽手制“皂”希望慈善活動,該慈善活動不僅旨在為殘疾人募捐愛心基金,同時將回收再造的肥皂分發到偏遠社區,鼓勵當地人勤洗手,減少疾病傳播,保護身體健康,為當地社區創造共贏價值。此慈善項目對于上海凱賓斯基大酒店來說是非常有意義的,支持環保事業的同時接力慈善,傳遞愛心,并且讓酒店的全體員工都可以積極投入和參與到社會公益中。凡捐款金額達100元及以上的賓客均會收到一塊圣誕特制肥皂和定制版姜餅磚,姜餅磚將由上海凱賓斯基大酒店西點師刻上捐款代表的名字,并展示在由凱賓美食閣改造的具有歐洲特色的姜餅屋中。
The ceremony opened with MC welcome speech followed with the heavenly voices of the Wellington Collage Shanghai choir and a festive spread of traditional European Christmas food and drinks, including Glühwein, eggnog, Christmas cookies, and stollen were set. Guests also enjoyed Kempinski’s own creation – the Candy Cane Margarita.
當晚現場唯美典雅,大堂正中央5米高的圣誕樹掛滿了琳瑯滿目的圣誕裝飾,無處不在的圣誕氣息讓每一位來賓都能感受到節日來臨時的喜悅。伴隨著司儀誠摯的問候與唱詩班學生悠揚的歌聲,一年一度的圣誕點燈儀式正式拉開序幕。來賓們盡情享用著廚師團隊精心準備的圣誕季限定熱飲和小食——德國圣誕熱甜酒、甜蛋酒、圣誕小餅干、樹根蛋糕、德國圣誕甜面包。另外,身著圣誕服飾的服務生們還為大家奉上凱賓自制的特調飲品——拐杖糖瑪格麗特。
At 18:18, General Manager Mr. Mark Stephen Kirk, personally lit the Christmas tree lights. Following the lighting of the tree, heavenly voice of the Wellington collage Shanghai choir spread around in the lobby. Santa Claus emerged to give out candies and take photos with the guests. For our annual prize draw, the lucky winners received prizes of vouchers for our sister hotels and in house dining voucher but even those who didn’t win a prize this year didn’t leave empty handed; goody bags were handed out to all guests in attendance, marking the end of yet another successful lighting ceremony.
