The newly opened Hyatt Regency Kuala Lumpur at KL Midtown officially launched its inaugural festive season today with a spectacular tree-lighting ceremony. Marking the occasion on Thanksgiving Day, the hotel unveiled stunning holiday installations for guests to enjoy throughout the season.
The centerpiece of the hotel’s celebrations is a magnificent 20-foot Christmas tree, traditionally adorned with exquisite ornaments, standing proudly in the hotel lobby. The festive display extends to a charming Christmas Market featuring three artisanal gingerbread houses, one meticulously crafted with authentic gingerbread walls and roof, filling the air with a warm, inviting aroma that creates an immersive sensory experience for guests.
The launch event commenced with a captivating performance by the 10-piece Selangor Philharmonic Orchestra, setting an elegant tone for the evening. A delightful surprise followed as four young ballerinas from Clavier Ballet enchanted attendees with a graceful dance, culminating in one dancer presenting General Manager Till Martin with a magic wand. In a moment of pure magic, Mr. Martin waved the wand, instantly illuminating the Christmas tree to the delight of all present.
Following the tree lighting, Mr. Martin delivered a heartfelt speech. “This ceremony marks the start of the festive season and establishes a new tradition of joy, care and community within our hotel,” said Mr. Till Martin, General Manager of Hyatt Regency Kuala Lumpur at KL Midtown. “In a nation celebrated for its diversity and harmony, we hold this celebration with deep respect for local traditions. It is more than a festive occasion—it is a reflection of the Hyatt purpose: to care for people so they can be their very best.”
He added, “The hotel’s festive celebrations are elevated through its partnership with Kiwanis, an organization dedicated to serving less privileged children. A booth has been established at the hotel to raise essential funds for their cause. Guests can support this initiative by purchasing TY toys, which have been generously donated by the hotel. All proceeds will directly benefit Kiwanis’s charitable programs. This is part of the Hyatt’s community care program.”
The festive season will also be marked by the “Symphony of Christmas Joy & Giving Charity Concert 2025,” a highlight event presented in collaboration with Kiwanis and the renowned Selangor Philharmonic Orchestra. The concert is set to take place on Sunday, December 14, 2025, at 3:00pm in the Regency Ballroom (Level 2).
The performance will feature the orchestra’s full ensemble of 88 musicians, presenting a program of beloved Christmas classics designed to captivate the audience with the spirit of the season.
Adding a poignant and uplifting layer to the event, the concert will include a special choral performance organized by Ruth Education. The performance will showcase children from the local Myanmar community, who are simultaneously raising funds for their own tertiary education through this initiative.
Tickets for this special charity event are priced at RM100 each. All proceeds will directly support the charitable initiatives of Kiwanis, making the event a powerful opportunity for the community to celebrate while giving back.
Mr Martin also announced the season’s grand finale: a spectacular fireworks display at the hotel on 31st December 2025. This ten-minute spectacle will mark the very first celebration of its kind at KL Midtown. “We invite everyone to join us in creating unforgettable memories this festive season,” he stated. “We are committed to making this a celebration to remember.”
The Christmas Tree Lighting ceremony continued with a splendid performance by Ruth Education, followed by a spectacular festive feast at Midtown Brasserie. The elaborate buffet, available on the 24th and 25th of December, showcased at the event shows the hotel’s exclusive Christmas culinary offerings.
The extensive spread featured an impressive array of delicacies, including freshly shucked oysters, succulent roast lamb and chicken, and a premium selection of Japanese sashimi. Guests also enjoyed artisanal cold cuts, a dedicated pastry corner brimming with Christmas specialties, and interactive live stations serving Asian favorites like freshly grilled satay. For the ultimate indulgence, chefs prepared à la minute dishes, including crab, ribeye, and sirloin steak. These of course can be enjoyed during the festive period at the Midtown Brasserie. Festive dining experience also continues at China House and ENSO Izayaki & Bar.
