One of the many iconic hotels in the metro that will open its doors and the one that will celebrate its historic founding anniversary, The Manila Hotel plans to partially open its doors to its valued guests, with the famed Café Ilang Ilang, the Lobby Lounge, and the Delicatessen resuming operations on July 3, 2020. A rebirth of sorts after months of following the government’s quarantine protocols, the hotel has adjusted along with the rest of the world in navigating the “new normal,” and puts a high premium on the well-being of guests.

With the lobby shining bright anew signifying eternal hope, The Manila Hotel commemorates its 108th founding anniversary on July 4 by welcoming guests with an enduring brand of service that is now focused on enhanced health, hygiene, and sanitation protocols in line with DOH guidelines.

As the hotel prepares for the reopening, Atty Joey Lina, the president of The Manila Hotel, assures the public, “You are safe here. We have taken every precaution to heart so you and your loved ones can have peace of mind when you visit or stay with us.”

To its valued guests who are waiting for Café Ilang Ilang to open, The Manila Hotel offers its 108th Anniversary Promo that gives the first 108 customers for the first 108 days of its reopening (including Saturdays and Sundays) a special dining rate of only Php1,250 for lunch, and only Php1,550 for dinner. Café Ilang Ilang likewise returns with a new system for dining where guests can “order and eat all you can,” meaning they can order as much food as they want from the selection of dishes at a fixed price.

Both Café Ilang Ilang and the Lobby Lounge will be open with limited seating capacity. Thorough sanitation procedures will be implemented, and guests can order using disposable menu, eat using cutlery in sealed containers, and even use tables with acrylic dividers. Front-facing personnel communicating with guests like Guest Services Officers (GSOs) and waiters will don masks, gloves, and face shields. To limit contact with guests, Café Ilang Ilang is also fine-tuning its contactless ordering and payment system.

Adopting best practices, the hotel launches a comprehensive initiative to assure its patrons they are safe at The Manila Hotel. High-traffic public areas will have hygiene reminder signages and distance indicators, and guests will be asked to undergo mandatory temperature checks, and health declaration procedure. Limited capacity will also be implemented in elevators, while several hotel facilities will remain closed including the spa, swimming pool, gym, and other areas.

High-touch points like door handles, elevator buttons, public area furniture, and others will be sanitized multiple times per day using UV technology. Tests reveal that UV sanitation greatly reduces the bacteria count on surfaces, as demonstrated by lower RLU readings—whose value is used as a measure of surface cleanliness—after the procedure.

Barring announcements from the government to the contrary, the hotel also plans to start accepting room bookings by August 2020. The public will be assured of rooms thoroughly cleaned first with UV-C light technology to eliminate germs, bacteria, and viruses; followed by medical-grade sterilizing and disinfecting solution. A change of fresh and sanitized linens; sanitation of touch points in the room including remote controls, lamps, etc.; and thorough bathroom disinfection are also art of the procedure. Guests will also receive personal wellness kits, issued a UV-sanitized keycard, and arrive to guestrooms with a seal of assurance that they are the first to enter the sanitized environment.

Because taking care of its own people means they can take better care of guests, The Manila Hotel has invested on testing its staff upon return to work to ensure they are healthy. The culinary team strictly adheres to stringent protocols on proper hygiene, hand washing, and food handling. Staff will be required to wear PPEs as needed, and a strict implementation of distancing measures will be done in the offices, front desk, and other areas frequent by guests.

The Manila Hotel looks forward to welcoming both loyal and new guests with the kind of service it is known for, with the assurance that “YOU ARE SAFE HERE” is not just a tagline but a commitment it truly means to uphold.

It was my first time to celebrate Chinese New Years eve at the oldest Chinatown, the Binondo. There are so many people buying foods to include in their celebration, I told my self, it is just the way we celebrated the new year's eve as well.
Lucky Charms and crystals, fruits, tikoy and hopia and dragon dance are some of the highlights of the celebration. Love the tikoy so much but my favorite of all time is the hopia, no month that I never buy or eat hopia in my life, I really love the taste of it.

Wow! It's the month of May! What does it mean? Well, it's my month, it's been 6 years that I have been greeted and celebrated MOTHERS' DAY, isn't it nice? Yes, of course!

There are many ways to celebrate Mothers' day.  There are things that my hubby and my sons connive just to surprise me on that special day.  I know all mommies long for that.  On that specific day, sometimes we eat lunch or dinner in a restaurant in which they make surprises, sometimes they asked me to cook a special food and we eat together, and those are the things that makes me happy.






For this year, my celebration of Mothers' Day is quite advance.  Another escapade and another new experience.  Just this week end, F1 Hotel Manila invited us for an overnight stay in one of their cozy and luxurious room together with my Family.  Isn't fabulous?  Of course it is, they treated us to celebrate Mothers' day on a staycation.







The room provided for us was beyond what we expect.  It was very big.  I'm not an engineer or an architect but hey I can say how big the room was.  It has a big living room which is just right for those who welcomes visitors if your planning to have guests and there's the bedroom with a queen size bed just right for a family of four plus the comfort room with a shower covered with a fiber glass.  The room got two 40 inches LED TV (Not really sure if it is LED and if it is 40 inches), a mini refrigerator, and of course an internet connection. The room that we got was just right for the morning, it welcomes the bright morning sun. 









My kids love to stay in our room, my eldest son said "Mommy, let us buy one like these so we can move!"  See! My kids really love the staycation over F1 Hotel Manila.



After familiarizing with our room, we went to meet the executives of F1 Hotel Manila, Mr. Laurence Pena, General Manager; Mr. Tony Co, Director for Operations; Chef Sau Del Rosario, Chef Head; and Mikco Maiquez, Marketing Manager.  They welcomed us and explained about their upcoming promos and their further development for their hotel to accommodate and meet the expectations of their guests.


Afterwards we get some time in our room and since we had an unfortunate incident happened to our youngest son.  We were forced to just stay in the room, linger inside, watch some movies on cable and take care of our little one.  Yup, we took care our little one because he just catched fever which we don't know the reason why.


The bed was comfortable and the room was well conditioned.  So even though that my youngest son is ill, we were able to have a good sleep. 

Aside from the accommodation, food is one of the most interesting part of our escapade, hahaha, coz we really love food. We tried the foods at the F Cafe at the 3rd floor, it's a Lunch Buffet.  You can choose from different dishes and desserts offered by the F Cafe.  My kids loved the fruits and the chocolate fountain.  Yummy!
 
 
 
 
 
 


 


Dinner time and it was served at the Canary Lounge.  It was a Barbeque Party, barbeque all you can and barbeque of different types.  Chicken, pork chop, liempo, spare ribs, and fish.  Ohlala yummy!  Plus you get to listen their live band while having a night out with friends and families. 







Since my eldest son was so much eager to dip down the pool we decided to have breakfast first.  The line up of breakfast dishes makes us eat more, especially the kids.  They got pancakes, bread and cereals that kids will enjoy and for the oldies, they got tapa, fried bangus, ham, choices of egg dishes, and more.  Wow, that was really a heavy breakfast!







The Pool, my eldest son was eager to go dipping in the pool and he keeps on asking to let him swim on the pool.  On our first day, we didn't allowed him yet to go down the pool since our baby is sick.  On the next day, his eyes got widened because we already allow him to swim together with his daddy, he really enjoyed it, you can see on his face.







It was great experiencing most of their services but there's more that's beyond our expectation.  While preparing on Saturday morning for the staycation at the hotel, my youngest son catched a fever that we don't know where he got it.  Though he has fever we traveled him to the hotel because we just can't leave him alone sick with his Lolo and Lola.  So, our little one is sick during our stay.  His fever shoots up to 39 degrees.  As per advise by my child's pedia he should be given an Opigesic once his fever is that high.  I called the Premiere assistance and asked if there's a pharmacy inside the hotel.  In other words they provided assistance in buying medicine for my son.  Thank you very much for that. 



So, this coming Mothers' Day prefer F1 Hotel Manila to treat and celebrate Mothers' Day.  Moms can enjoy "Freebies" from F1 Hotel Manila:

Free Buffet Lunch or Dinner: When moms dine at F All Day Dining Restaurant with four (4) more paying companions based on published rate, moms are entitled to eat for free.
