Park Royal Collection celebrates Lunar New Year with prosperity feasts

Park Royal Collection Pickering transforms its verdant gardens into the perfect setting for Lunar New Year celebrations, where corporate gatherings unfold amid cascading foliage and the careful choreography of prosperity. The hotel’s Auspicious Lunar New Year set menus draw from culinary traditions steeped in symbolism: each dish selected not merely for flavour but for the fortune it carries.

Mandarin oranges sit gleaming on pale tables alongside vibrant displays of yusheng, its layers of raw fish, shredded vegetables and crisp elements catching the light as diners toss them skyward together. Red packets rest beside place settings, while free flow Chinese tea and soft drinks provide the rhythm to extended celebrations. The William Pickering Ballroom and Alexander Room accommodate gatherings of any scale, their proportions and light designed to hold both intimacy and grandeur without compromise.

What distinguishes the experience is the hotel’s fundamental character: a garden woven through its very architecture rather than merely surrounding it. Guests move through cascades of greenery, past living walls and planted terraces, so that even grand dinners in the ballrooms feel connected to something growing and alive. This integration of landscape transforms what might be a standard corporate function into something memorable, a setting where the year’s prosperity feels not abstract but tangible, present in every bloom and every carefully composed plate.

The set menus can be tailored to suit different party sizes, from smaller departmental gatherings to full scale celebrations. Details matter: the thoughtful placement of auspicious symbols, the quality of the linens, the warmth of the service. Planning should begin well in advance to secure preferred dates and customise the offering to your team’s preferences.
