- 8 Jan 2014 3:00 AM
Experience a slice of Americana and get ‘All Shook Up’ with our two-week Elvis Extravaganza in honour of the King’s birthday. All true Elvis fans will have 8th January highlighted in their diaries and this year marks 79 years since the birth of one of the most significant cultural icons of the 20th century. We have decided to commemorate this momentous occasion in our own way with a two-week Elvis Extravaganza filled with Rock ‘n’ Roll and the King’s favourite snacks.
The Corinthia Group celebrated its 51st anniversary with a grand gala dinner and awards presentation night held at the Corinthia Palace Hotel & Spa in San Anton, Malta.The event, hosted by Corinthia Group Founder & Chairman Mr Alfred Pisani, was attended by members of the Pisani family, group directors, senior executives, long serving team members and employees of the year from all the hotels operated by the Corinthia Group internationally.
Award presentations were held in the hotel’s Chameleon hall and included continuous service certificates and awards to no less than 77 Corinthia Malta employees with 5 to 40 years of uninterrupted service and 15 ‘Employees of the Year’ from the company’s hotels and other subsidiaries in Malta, Hungary, Libya, Portugal, Russia, Sudan, The Czech Republic, Tunisia and the United Kingdom.
Presentations were followed by a ‘Hungarian themed’ gala dinner, held in the Corinthia Room, the hotel’s main restaurant and the company’s birthplace in 1962. Entertainment was provided by the Hungarian ‘Csicso Band’, a traditional gypsy band brought over from Budapest for the event.
Commenting on the occasion, Corinthia Chairman Alfred Pisani said “Commitment and determination have been our driving force from day one, as indeed they still are to this day. This ‘Spirit of Corinthia’ is very much in evidence in all our operations worldwide, especially among our very dedicated employees, and therefore it is only fitting that they are present here tonight, to share with us the results of our enthusiasm and join us in celebrating our 51st anniversary”
It was on the 6th of December of 1962 that the Pisani family had inaugurated the upmarket ‘Corinthia Restaurant’ in the family’s art nouveau villa in San Anton. The fine-dining restaurant was soon to become the focal point for the Island’s ‘gourmet’ society. By 1964, plans were drawn up for the 155-room Corinthia Palace Hotel on Villa Corinthia’s extensive grounds. The deluxe hotel was eventually inaugurated on 11th June 1968 in the presence of The Duke of Edinburgh.
Experience a true taste of Americana and choose from peanut-butter and banana sandwiches, apple, walnut and lemon pie, our fabulous Elvis Presley cocktail and the unmissable milkshakes. Then get ready to don your leathers and get up close and personal with the Harley Davidson in the lobby and jive your way around a display of records, record players and guitars, plus plenty of photographs of the King himself. So bring your blue suede shoes and sing along: it's one for the money, two for the show...
