Staycation at Novotel



Hotel Lobby
Accessibility was the first word that came into my mind when we arrived at Novotel. Located at the heart of Cubao, Novotel offers modern accommodations and luxurious surroundings. It promises a sanctuary that serves a quiet time away from the city’s hustle and bustle, but also access to almost everything in the city. Gateway Mall is just a short walk from the hotel. In addition, the hotel is also a stone’s throw away from the famous Araneta Coliseum, SM Cubao and Ali Mall.
Bridal Garden at the 6th floor
The hotel provided us the usual quick and no-frills check-in when we arrived. We booked thru Booking.com. The entire process only took 15 minutes, in which we were assisted by the hotel staff from the multi-level parking to our room. The hotel staff made an effort to personalize, and the hotel became more of a home in that sense.
Superior Room
We booked in a Superior Room overlooking the picturesque view of the Araneta Center skyline. The room – one of the 401 stylish rooms and suites – has a complimentary Wi-Fi connectivity, an extensive selection of flat-screen TV channels, an in-room safe, modern work area, rain shower, tea and coffee making facilities. It was complete with everything we would need for the entire trip.
Food Exchange Manila
Perhaps the only place in the hotel that we stayed a lot aside from our room was the Food Exchange Manila. This is perfect for guests preferring exclusive comfort and personalized service. The restaurant has a dining service complete from breakfast down to dinner. It brings the effervescence of a food market onto your plate featuring an array of fine cuisines prepared in an interactive culinary theatre. We loved it because aside from its cozy atmosphere that gave us good dining, it has a friendly staff that provided non-stop service until its closing time.
The Gourmet Bar
There are so many things to experience at Novotel, such as fitness center, outdoor pool, a grand ballroom that can accommodate 1,000 people in a round table set up, a bridal garden - an outdoor wedding venue offering exclusivity and exceptional city views, multi-level car park for guest and pool bar and lounge. It has also The Gourmet Bar, a chic, informal lobby lounge serving savory snacks, coffee and trendy drinks, and the Premier Lounge, enjoying the panoramic view of Manila’s skyline.
Bridal Garden from 16th floor
Novotel is perfect for everyone - families, tourists, and business travelers. The convenience and accessibility it provides make it easy to get through the bustling city. The view of the Cubao skyline is worth every centavo you will pay.
