CHRISTMAS is more than a season of lights and celebrations. It is a time for coming home, reconnecting with loved ones, and sharing the warmth of the holidays with those who need it most. This spirit filled Dusit Thani Davao Hotels as it welcomed the holiday season on November 6, 2026, with a festive Christmas celebration centered on the theme “Where Moments Feel Like Home.”
The evening brought together distinguished guests, VIPs, government officials, and community partners, including Mr. Tomaz Lorenzo, Property Owner; Ms. Monica Lorenzo, Director of Leisure and Business Development at Torre Lorenzo Development Corporation; Mr. Willenito Tormis Jr., Officer-in-Charge of the City Tourism Operations Office (CTOO); Mr. Deddy Faisal Ahmad Salleh, representing Malaysia; and Mr. Ono Hirotaka, Consul General of Japan in Davao.
Inspired by a classic Christmas, the hotels were transformed into a festive setting of emerald greens, traditional reds, radiant gold accents, shimmering ornaments, and warm lights. At the heart of the celebration stood a magnificent Christmas tree, surrounded by elegant decorations that evoked the familiar joy of the holidays and the comfort of being home.
The celebration unfolded with Christmas choir and dance performances, filling the lobby with the sounds and spirit of the season. As the countdown began and the Christmas tree illuminated the space, guests shared a moment of wonder and anticipation, marking the start of another holiday season filled with opportunities to create lasting memories.
Yet, beyond the sparkle of the decorations and the excitement of the festivities, the evening carried a deeper message: that the warmth of Christmas becomes even more meaningful when it is shared.
Through its Stars of Hope initiative, Dusit Thani Davao Hotels invited guests to extend their generosity to The Field of Dreams Children’s Foundation Inc. Through voluntary donations, guests receive a special star ornament on which they can write a personal message or Christmas wish for the children. These stars may then be hung on the hotel’s Christmas tree, turning the festive display into a collection of heartfelt wishes and acts of kindness.
Each star represents more than a donation. It carries a message of hope and a reminder that even a simple gesture can help bring joy to a child during the holidays. By inviting guests to take part, the initiative encourages the community to look beyond their own celebrations and help make Christmas a little brighter for children who deserve to feel its warmth, too.
As the season continues, Dusit Thani Davao Hotels looks forward to welcoming guests with experiences that bring people closer together. From thoughtfully curated room offerings and festive dining experiences to Christmas hampers prepared for sharing and gifting, the hotels will offer different ways to celebrate the season with family, friends, and loved ones.
Details of the upcoming holiday offerings will be shared through the hotels’ official social media channels and website, inviting guests to discover more ways to make their Christmas gatherings special.
Ultimately, “Where Moments Feel Like Home” is a reminder that the most treasured parts of Christmas are not found in the decorations or gifts alone, but in the memories we create, the people we hold close, and the kindness we extend to others.
As Dusit Thani Davao Hotels welcomes another festive season, its Christmas tree stands not only as a symbol of celebration, but also as a gathering place for shared wishes, renewed hope, and the simple yet powerful joy of making others feel at home.
