Basilio, Director of Coast Guard Strategic Studies and International Affairs Center, guests, partners, and friends from the media.
Admiral Hotel General Manager Matthieu Busschaërt said: “We wish to celebrate all the wonderful festive stories from your most cherished moments of the Christmas season, whether it’s a new memory or a rekindled old one. From the most beautiful places you visited to the sumptuous meals you enjoyed and the traditions you shared with loved ones.” Esteemed guests on the night of the event were officially welcomed by Admiral’s Hotel Manager for Rooms Marie Buenaobra and Hotel Manager for F&B Operations Quentin Renard to kick off the hotel’s offerings from today until January 2024.
