The menu designed for the occasion is the meeting of different European culinary traditions. A riot of flavors that blend classic and contemporary. The 5-course menu is served on a majestic table set with the jewels of Maison Christofle, the masters of “Art sur la Table”.
Instead, for an unconventional Christmas, try the hotel’s iconic Omakase Bar, with only 10 seats, for a traditional Japanese dinner.
2 Madrid
Mandarin Oriental Ritz, Madrid supports patronage initiatives to safeguard the Spanish cultural heritage to rediscover the authentic Christmas spirit.
The show created for this season is a Christmas ballet in collaboration with the Compañía Nacional de Danza. It is an experience that combines the magic of Christmas with the elegance of classical dance.
This union is made even more unique by the creativity and innovation of Chef Quique Dacosta. In fact, he has studied artistic menus that reflect his culinary philosophy for the Nochebuena dinner, or Christmas Eve, for the Brunch on December 25th and for the New Year’s Eve dinner.
3 Barcelona
This year too, the Mandarin Oriental, Barcelona is transformed into a city of toys. It has set up Christmas stalls inside where you can buy handmade objects. And consume a delicious hot chocolate with churros for a delicious break from shopping.
The little guests can then deliver the letter to Santa Claus in his “office”, set up inside the Mimosa Garden, and meet the Three Kings.
Furthermore, for the more creative ones, fun workshops suitable for the whole family will be organised, including storytelling, cooking and cocktail making lessons, origami. While whiskey and wine tastings will be organized for adults.
4 London
The hall of Mandarin Oriental Hyde Park, London has been transformed into a Winter Wonderland, with sparkling decorations and on Christmas Eve it will be made even more magical by the Christmas carols of the London Contemporary Voices alternative choir.
Santa Claus himself will appear every day from 2pm to 4pm, so that the little ones can deliver their letter directly to his office, set up in the lobby. Among the surprises for little guests, the “Little Festive Ranger” package is also available, which will offer children unforgettable experiences.
5 Prague
Situated among the palaces and gardens of Prague’s historic Malá Strana district, the Mandarin Oriental, Prague is within walking distance of the city’s most important attractions.
To end the day on a high note, guests can enjoy a treatment in the hotel’s award-winning spa, housed in a former Renaissance chapel, where guests can admire the foundations of the 14th-century church, visible through a glass floor.
Here on December 13th starting from 6.30 pm the Silent Night will take place, an evening away from the noise that characterizes the urban frenzy to rediscover the serenity and peace of Christmas through the Sound Bath Ritual of the expert Martina Jeličić, a meditative experience one of a kind in which guests are “immersed” in sound waves.
6 Munich
Mandarin Oriental, Munich has organized a rich calendar of events. This year too, the “Domes” are set up on the hotel terrace, heated glass domes offering panoramic views over the entire city and the Alps, designed in collaboration with Diamond Domes and the Kitzbühel tourist office.
Crossing the threshold of the Domes – which can accommodate up to 12 people – you enter an enchanted world, where you can dine under the stars with the possibility of choosing between a menu inspired by local tradition or an interesting combination of Bavarian cuisine and the Japanese-Peruvian one, created together with the Matsushisa restaurant.
