From mid-November, the cheerful atmosphere has been up in the air across all Ascott’s Vietnam hotels and serviced residence lobbies. Themed “Have yourself a sweet Christmas”, the series of festive activities call for donations to charity programs.
The Ascott Limited (Ascott), a wholly owned subsidiary of CapitaLand Investment Limited, has ushered in the start of the most joyful season by lighting up the Christmas Tree on Friday, 25 November 2022. As an annual activity, Ascott wishes to bring the blessing time to Sa Lung Primary School in Thai Nguyen Province and Go Vap Orphanage in Ho Chi Minh City.

Along with the Ascott Cares commitment, we always want to contribute a positive impact to the community regarding the economy, society and environment and the Tree Lighting Ceremony is the best way to usher in holiday festivities for a good cause.
