The Vancouver Airport Marriott Hotel's Special Offers Make It the Life of the Holiday Party

RICHMOND, BC--(Marketwired - Nov 13, 2014) - With the holidays jingling just around the corner, now is the time to plan the seasonal soiree of the year. And whether a company wants to celebrate with colleagues, or families want to gather with friends, the Vancouver Airport Marriott Hotel's numerous holiday specials can make every party merry and bright.

The showpiece of any event is the food, and Executive Chef Shane Lamb makes sure his menus are as festive as they are flavourful. Just as the hotel's American Grille became known as one of the best restaurants in Richmond, BC because of Chef Lamb's culinary creativity, the property's customizable event menus stand out among luxury airport hotels in Vancouver.

Groups can indulge in the Old Saint Nick Buffet, for example, when they want to eat, drink and be merry. An antipasto platter of meats, cheeses, olives and artichokes complements the abundance of entrees, which include traditional turkey, baked salmon fillet and maple-baked ham. Or parties can opt for the Home for Christmas Buffet, which features assorted salads (from winter green salad, to Thai noodle salad), an antipasto platter and traditional turkey. Plated dinner menus are also available for more formal gatherings.

Groups can additionally enjoy a 15% discount on menu prices when they book their parties between Sunday and Thursday during the holiday season.

While the award-winning culinary team may set the tone for a holiday event, this hotel near the YVR Airport makes sure the details are carefully attended to as well. The 5,199 square feet of function space accommodates groups of all sizes, with the Coastal Mountain Ballroom welcoming up to 280 celebrants. And every space is made as beautiful as it is flexible. In the foyer and ballroom, for example, Christmas décor sets a celebratory tone, while festive centrepieces and holiday music round out the merry ambience.

Although the hotel's location in the heart of downtown Richmond, BC is convenient, guests who'd prefer an even shorter commute home can take advantage of the property's special "Take the Elevator Home" promotion. Starting at $119, these overnight room rates let revelers sleep off any overindulgences amid pillow-top mattresses, down comforters and cotton-rich linens. Some parties, after all, are simply too good to end early.
