Okada Manila has unveiled its latest attraction and I was invited at the press launch. The Garden is a lush open space that offers guests with the best seat for a breathtaking view of the Manila Bay sunset.
The Garden is a perfect outdoor venue for guests who wants to be in the city but doesn't feel like they are in the concrete jungle.
The sprawling spread of greenery within Okada Manila is ideal for family gatherings and the guests will definitely enjoy dining under the stars.
"The Garden is more than an outdoor space. It's an integral part of Okada Manila where guests can enjoy life's best moments under the sky with the people they treasure the most," said Ivaylo Ivanov, Okada Manila's Vice President for Hospitality.
Grand Christmas Tree Lighting
Okada Manila's 28-foot tall Grand Christmas Tree made up of 38,008 pieces of capiz shells from Cebu located at The Fountain Foyer was lit up and guests were serenaded by Chorus Vocales Philippines, Hazel Faith, and Monique Lualhati.
This coming December, award-winning Himig Rizalia will sing your favorite Christmas songs on all weekends of December until the 23rd.
