EQ Unveils 2025 Festive Programme of Dining and Celebration
EQ Unveils 2025 Festive Programme of Dining and Celebration
This is something to share as the year draws to a close, EQ invites guests to celebrate the festive season with a programme of dining experiences, thoughtful gifts and cherished traditions. This well-established leading luxury city hotel has designed a calendar of events that capture the warmth and joy of this time of year, featuring lavish feasts and sumptuous banquets.
Across the property, preparations begin early. The Christmas tree rises in the lobby, carols return to the air and each restaurant begins to take on the atmosphere of the holidays. Guests can expect a balance of celebration and comfort — the kind of festive setting that feels true to EQ’s long-standing reputation for thoughtful hospitality.
The Spirit of Giving: The Angel Tree Initiative
A cornerstone of EQ’s celebrations, the Angel Tree Initiative invites guests to select a wish card from the lobby Christmas tree. Each card represents a child from Shelter Home, and guests can fulfil a wish by purchasing a gift or making a donation, which the hotel team will personally deliver at a dedicated Christmas party.
Adding to the festive atmosphere this year is an exclusive Grand Seiko Christmas Showcase in the lobby — a display that brings together precision, craftsmanship and timeless beauty. It serves as a fitting complement to EQ’s own appreciation for quality and detail. The season’s familiar faces also return: Santa Claus will make appearances on 24 December (7PM–8.30PM) and 25 December (12.30PM–4PM), joined by Christmas carollers performing much-loved songs across selected venues.
EQ’s signature restaurants will be hosting a variety of festive dining events.
