At AX The Palace in Sliema, summer may have only just drawn to a close, but the events team has been deep into planning for the festive season for months. Known for its impeccable attention to detail and their signature “AX Hotels sparkle,” the team is pulling out all the stops to ensure every Christmas celebration this year is nothing short of a spectacular one.

The team at AX The Palace knows that no two Christmas staff events are alike. Some clients are looking for a cosy casual reception, while others prefer a grand, formal dinner. What sets AX The Palace apart is its ability to offer a variety of venues that can cater to both extremes, and everything in between. With venue options ranging from the elegant Royal Hall, which seats up to 140 guests beneath stunning Florentine chandeliers, to the expansive State Hall, which can accommodate up to 250 guests and connects to the Alexandra Gardens outdoor terrace. This charming space can be transformed with food stations, live entertainment, and even a canopy to create a welcoming festive atmosphere that’s perfect for holiday celebrations.

For those who want something more intimate, the Executive Lounge offers a cosy atmosphere perfect for smaller gatherings. And for a truly unique setting, the rooftop TemptAsian restaurant delivers not only a feast for the palate but also for the eyes, with sweeping views across Sliema to Valletta, especially magical when the city lights twinkle in the night sky.

Each venue can be transformed to fit the client’s vision—whether it’s a sit-down dinner with live music, or a lively reception with food stations, themed decorations, and entertainment. The events team, backed by years of experience, handles all the details, from technical setups to ensuring that every part of the venue looks as festive as possible. Complimentary parking and expert staff further enhance the experience, ensuring the entire celebration is as seamless as possible.

And then, of course, there’s the food.

This year, AX The Palace has expanded its festive menu offerings, ensuring that clients can choose exactly the right spread for their guests. The Season’s Eatings Buffet Menu, priced at €38.95 per person, kicks things off with a chef’s selection of antipasti followed by a main course that features festive favourites like roast turkey with all the trimmings, while the dessert table offers Christmas classics such as a Christmas pudding with brandy sauce, alongside treats like passion fruit tart and chocolate Sacher cake. The package also includes coffee and mince pies, completing the perfect holiday meal.

For those who want a little extra variety, the Festive Favourites Menu includes all the same buffet delights, but also adds a hot counter with grilled fish, beef, and vegetarian options, as well as a mouth-watering TemptAsian table featuring Asian fusion specialties like Thai chicken curry and Singaporean fried noodles, ideal for teams who want to experience a blend of traditional and international flavours.

Alternatively, the Winter Wonderland and Santa’s Delights reception menus offer a selection of 18 to 22 food items, including indulgent cold bites like smoked salmon on blini with chive sour cream and glazed pork belly with miso gel. Hot options include delicious dishes like vegetable gyoza with soy dip, prawn tempura with sweet chili sauce, and sticky hoisin duck rolls. What’s more, both packages can be upgraded to include a full open bar.

For those seeking a more formal experience, the Chef’s Plated Menu option offers a beautifully curated three- or four-course mea, starting at just €48 per person, featuring elegantly plated dishes across starters, mains, and desserts. Each course is thoughtfully prepared to showcase the creativity and expertise of AX The Palace’s talented culinary team, ensuring that guests are treated to an exquisite dining experience brimming with festive cheer.

As bookings continue to fill up, AX The Palace is ready to work closely with clients to tailor each event to their unique preferences. Whether it’s a festive gathering with a few close colleagues or a company-wide celebration, the team is prepared to deliver an unforgettable holiday experience. So, if your team is looking to add a touch of sparkle to your Christmas celebration this year, AX The Palace promises to be the place to be.
