With the festive season fast approaching, EAST, Hong Kong has announced its Christmas lineup to see out 2018 in sustainable style. Encouraging playfulness and individuality, the city-centre hotel is a vibrant destination to spend the holiday with loved ones, and this year they’ll be giving and indulging in equal measure with eco-conscious decorations and lively celebrations.

EAST will reintroduce their Christmas Village; a tradition started in 2014, which sees the hotel finding creative ways to recycle resources into previously disused objects. This year, the EAST team have scavenged the city’s streets, collecting fallen logs from Typhoon Mangkhut, which will be crafted into chic Christmas decorations. For these creations, the team collaborated with students from Jockey Club Sarah Roe School (JCSRS) – the only school in Hong Kong to deliver an English curriculum to students with additional learning needs. EAST ongoing partnership with JCSRS helps to provide vocational experiences for students to develop and apply skills in real-world settings, and is part of Swire Properties’ SD 2030 vision, an initiative to reinforce the company’s commitment to sustainable development.

Feast (Food by EAST)

To complement the eco-decorations, EAST’s bustling café, Feast (Food by EAST), will be offering festive feasts on 24 and 25 December with sittings from 5:45pm to 8pm and 8:30pm to 11:00pm. Designed to encourage social dining and evoke a celebratory atmosphere, the unlimited menu will be served semi-buffet style, with a variety of antipasti, such as freshly shucked oysters and king crab legs. Main course options include traditional favourites, such as Slow-Roasted Turkey with Sausage, Sage and Chestnut Stuffing and Sautéed Brussels Sprouts with Bacon as well as Roasted grass-fed beef tenderloin with Roasted Bone Marrow, French Beans, Green Peas and Hand-cut Chips and more. The

Feast Christmas menu is priced at HK$728* per adult, and HK$364* for children under 12, who will all be treated to a surprise gift.
