The Ritz-Carlton, Bahrain has set the stage for the holiday season with the annual Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony held last night in the hotel garden outside La Med.
Joined by hundreds of joyful guests, this beloved tradition ushered in the holidays with warmth, wonder and celebration.
The evening featured festive treats, heartwarming carols from the hotel’s in-house choir, rich hot chocolate, and Santa Claus’ and ‘Santarina’s’ luxury grand arrival in a Bentley Continental GT, marking the beginning of the season in true Ritz-Carlton style.
