Takeaways for home parties
The hotel offers patrons the option of hosting warm gatherings at their homes with gourmet creations including a myriad of traditional holiday treats, savory specials, juicy roasted turkey, honey-glazed ham and roasted beef ribeye, colorful homemade cookies and artisanal chocolate pralines freshly prepared by its talented pastry team.
Cakes baked at Sheraton Saigon have been a favorite of more than two decades. For Christmas, “decadent artisanal yule logs with milk chocolate, light sponge and a creamy middle” promise a rich, indulgent treat. Delivery or takeaway orders are accepted at the Gingerbread House located at the hotel lobby from November 24 to December 25, 2023.
Xmas gift hampers
Luxurious hamper sets prepared by the hotel are a good way to spread yuletide cheer. Packaged in handcrafted gift boxes with unique Christmas motifs, the hampers are easy on the eye and a feast for the taste buds with festival treats like panettone, handcrafted cookies, chocolate Santa Claus, mixed festive cookies, gourmet teas, white chocolate pistachio chart and the option of wine bottles. Furthermore, the gift boxes can be reused to store knick-knacks at home.
Cantonese cuisine at Li Bai
The hotel’s Li Bai restaurant is a great place for Cantonese dishes including a dim sum brunch with “all-you-can-eat” Peking duck and more than 50 other dishes including steamed, baked, grilled, stir-fried or deep-fried dumplings. The dinner menu includes “exquisite à la carte plates” with Nha Trang lobster, foie gras and Hokkaido scallop, steamed scampi and abalone with asparagus prepared by skillful chefs with over 30 years of experience.
Afternoon tea, wine dinner, exotic cocktails
The hotel enhances the festive mood with an elegant Christmas-themed afternoon tea and during the entirety of December. Its patisserie has Mont Blanc, dark chocolate, mince pies, Christmas macaroons and other treats. Delicate finger sandwiches with tantalizing flavors like truffle burrata, Nha Trang lobster cocktail, soulard foie gras torchon and roast angus beef can be followed with a choice of coconut scones, cranberry scones with condiments and the Christmas yule log. Located at the hotel grand lobby, The Lounge offers an ideal break from the hustle and bustle of Christmas shopping and sightseeing.
2024 countdown party
For the countdown to the New Year, the “20 years of glory” hotel in downtown Saigo (88 Dong Khoi street) offers a “grandiose party of flair” with Asian-Western fusion gastronomy, live band, cocktail, wine and beer at the lobby atrium, not to mention the dropping ball that guarantees a memorable ushering in of 2024.
