Did you know that the Holiday Inn Manila Galleria has recently undergone quite a transformative renovation? Guests can experience a blend of timeless elegance with modern functionality, thanks to the hotel’s 285 revitalized rooms, including 36 exquisite suites, plus, the recently unveiled Summit Lounge.
Here, my foodie friends and I recently met up with the hotel’s general manager, Ms. Pat Puyat, and her team of expert hoteliers, all bent on offering travelers and staycationers memorable stays and dining experiences at one of Ortigas Center’s most iconic hotels.
So let me tell you what lies in store for you at the Summit Lounge!
Located on the hotel’s 29th floor high above the bustling city, the Summit Lounge offers hotel guests a serene retreat amid breathtaking vistas that provide a unique perspective of the cityscape. From this vantage point, you can fully admire the busy streets of Ortigas Center, its adjacent suburbs and the far-off mountains that surround the metro.
To score access to the Summit Lounge, you would have to be a hotel guest, particularly one staying in the Holiday Inn’s higher room types such as the one-bedroom and two-bedroom suites, or the unique two-level penthouse. Guests of lower room types can opt to avail of upgrades to enjoy this benefit. This exclusive access ensures a tranquil and private environment, perfect for families and leisure travelers seeking a relaxing escape.
The Summit Lounge offers a full-day of dining possibilities, handcrafted by Holiday Inn Manila Galleria’s hardworking culinary team. The day starts with a complimentary breakfast that offers a delightful array of options, from fresh pastries to hearty cooked dishes. All-day refreshments, including a selection of snacks and beverages, are available cater to every craving.
The afternoon, on the other hand, brings a sophisticated offering of tea and light refreshments, perfect for a midday respite. As evening descends, guests can unwind with an array of evening cocktails best enjoyed as they relax and soak in the stunning panoramic views.
The Summit Lounge is not just a place for dining and relaxation; it is also a versatile and upscale venue for celebrating significant life milestones and achievements, such as:
