“We started a choir. Last year we only performed in our corporate office, but this year we’re going to go to retirement homes and to anybody that is keen to hear us. Our first rehearsals last year were hilarious.”

Steve Halliday, managing director, Rosewood Hotel Georgia

“We kick off the season on December 2 with carol singers and live piano music to put everyone in a festive mood. Hot chocolate is served throughout the day and children are invited to post letters to the North Pole in our bronze lobby letterbox.”
