Amidst the enchanting ambience of DoubleTree by Hilton Agra, the spirit of Christmas came alive during the magical Christmas tree lighting ceremony. Distinguished luminaries, esteemed guests, and valued business partners from Agra gathered to celebrate in this joyous occasion.

What sets the Christmas Tree at DoubleTree by Hilton Agra apart is its unique narrative. Adorned with an exquisite collection of locally crafted artifacts, this tree stands as a testament to the incredible artistry of the region. Every piece is meticulously handmade, reflecting the rich heritage and skill passed down through generations of artisanal families. The tree has been made with support from the Uttar Pradesh Tourism who helped the hotel connect with about 150 artisans from financially challenged backgrounds. These artisanal families, with a heritage steeped in handicrafts, have passed down their skills through generations.

Shyam Kumar, the General Manager at DoubleTree by Hilton Agra, remarked, Our vision at Hilton is to spread light and warmth of hospitality in communities where we operate. With the same vision the company also has been recognised number 1 great place to work globally in year 2023. By purchasing these handcrafted products, you join us in empowering these artisans and acknowledging their exceptional talents.”
