A HOTEL PODCAST · 2025-12-15 · 25 min
In the second of two interviews recorded at the Waldorf Astoria Chicago, GM Tamas Vago offers insights into the hotel's tenth annual tree lighting ceremony. Vago speaks on hosting and overseeing all elements of the tree lighting ceremony, from speaking at the event to managing the delivery and placement of the tree in the center of the hotel's courtyard. The GM also opens up about sharing the stage with a young leukemia survivor named Ella and her family when lighting up the tree, and shares why involving former patients from Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago at the annual holiday event is so meaningful to him.
