Minimalistic, Oriental but Modern: Jinjiang Inn Makati

Ever since the Chinese brand Jinjiang Inn has reached the shores of the Philippines, I have always wondered what it has to offer in a highly competitive hospitality industry in the country.

The minimalistic aura and the modest size of its building have given me an initial impression about the kind of brand the hotel wants to show - and that is where my curiosity started.

Brentwood Suites Quezon City

Quezon City has an allure that targets not only the hippest and the trendiest but the business folks and the entrepreneurs. Exactly why the demand for business hotels have started to rise while the supply remains less competitive. I have been hearing Brentwood Suites in Quezon City the past few weeks and this led me to the curiosity to try what the hotel is all about.

In the busy Quezon Avenue scene where business enterprises have sprawn, a fitting business hotel seems unlikely found until the Brentwood Suites have hoisted a 9-storey tower giving every businessman and leisure seekers a chance to have a good night sleep at the heart of this avenue. 

Summer Feels at F1 Hotel Manila

I haven't been to the beach lately and there are no plans yet even if there's just a month left before the rainy season starts to hit the Philippines. To compensate for a summer escapade without having to leave the city, a night at F1 Hotel Manila is the choice. 

The Little Things of Makati Shangri La

When international personalities land in Manila, they are housed to nowhere else but Makati Shangri La. The doors of this five star hotel have welcomed a variety of names from Hollywood actors and singers to business tycoons to influential politicians. I have always wondered why Shangri La remains a top choice even if it stands amidst an avenue of luxury hotels. What does it take to be best and how do you really set yourself apart? This is a question we all should be asking ourselves and who's answers are surprisingly found on this stay-cation.
