The gigantic tree, adorned with gourds and other ornaments, was lit at a special ceremony last Friday to officially herald the 2016 Christmas season.
The ceremony, which took place at the forecourt of the Roots Hotel Apartments at Osu, behind Barclays Bank, was attended by staff and management of the hotel, customers and a section of the media.
Before the 16-metre tall tree was lit, staff members of the hotel treated patrons to lively carol songs amid drumming and dancing.
The Managing Director of Roots Hospitality International, the parent company of Roots Hotel Apartments, Mr Hussein Fahkry, expressed his appreciation for the level of professionalism exhibited by the staff of the company.
He thanked them for erecting such a magnificent Christmas tree.
Mr Fahkry said the company decided to put up the giant Christmas tree to enhance the beauty of the Osu street and bring some delight to their customers.
He said the lighting of the Christmas tree was to declare the 2016 Christmas season formally opened.
Roots Hotel Apartments and Urbano Hotel are managed by Roots Hospitality International, a hotel management company which also manages the four-star Peduase Valley Resort Hotel at Peduase on the Aburi mountain.
