All Aboard 2006 HILTON
Christmas Train!
It's getting to be that time of year again and to usher in the Christmas spirit and Yuletide joy, the Millennium Seoul Hilton will unveil its Christmas Tree and ever-popular Christmas Train on November 25 at 4:30 p.m. This year marks the eleventh anniversary of this holiday tradition.
Every year, a grand 10-meter Christmas Tree is placed in the center of the main lobby to welcome guests to the Millennium Seoul Hilton and warm people's hearts with Christmas cheer. In the Lower Lobby, designers and engineers recreate a miniature village in the Alps, complete with snow-capped mountains, tunnels, wooden bridges and hot air balloons. The highlight, of course, for both children and adults who are young at heart, is the Christmas Train, a collection of over 120 exquisitely handcrafted locomotives and railroad cars that will chug their way through the little village.
The Christmas Train represents a time-honored tradition at the Millennium Seoul Hilton. Now in its eleventh year, the unveiling of the Christmas Train marks, for many, the start of the Christmas season, much like the Macy's Thanksgiving Parade does in New York. The spirit of Christmas is also remembered as domestic and international companies are invited to sponsor railroad cars. All proceeds are then distributed to Hyeshimwon Orphanage.
Join us for the Opening Ceremony, starting at 4:30 p.m. on Saturday, November 25 for music and entertainment, and watch the Hilton Christmas Train pull out of the station for the first time this Christmas season! Everyone is invited to attend this exciting and momentous event as the train whistle blows and the miniature train makes its way along the tracks.
Santa Claus will also make a special appearance on this day. This is a wonderful opportunity for you and your family to take a picture with Kris Kringle himself! So, bring your family and friends and celebrate the Christmas Season, goodwill and peace at the Millennium Seoul Hilton! The Christmas train, tree and village will be on display until mid - January 2007.
Also in the lobby of the hotel, the Gingerbread House is a delightful and magical store where Christmas shoppers can find the most delectable goodies and the perfect stocking stuffers for the loved ones on their Christmas lists. It's open daily from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. so stop by the Gingerbread House and pick up that "just right" one-of-a-kind gift today!
