Have a 180-Degree View of Makati's Holiday Fireworks at This New Hotel
It's on the banks of Pasig River.
(SPOT.ph) If you're looking for places where to ring in the New Year and enjoy a grand fireworks display, look no further than the new Novotel Suites Manila at Acqua in Mandaluyong. It officially opened its doors last November.
You may find it odd that a hotel is located in Barangay Hulo, especially with that side of the city characterized as a residential area with apartments and old homes rather than high-rise buildings. But this strategic location makes Novotel Suites Manila at Acqua stand out—literally. You can't miss it when driving across the Estrella-Pantaleon Bridge that connects Makati and Mandaluyong. This location also affords it the best views of the Makati cityscape and the famous holiday fireworks of Rockwell.
What to expect at the new Novotel Suites Manila at Acqua in Mandaluyong:
As you step into the hotel, you are immediately transported into a space where the blend of comfort and convenience is evident. The hotel boasts 152 rooms and suites, each designed with a contemporary and cozy flair. The standard rooms, measuring 31 square meters, are perfect for corporate visitors, offering ample workspace and all the essential amenities for a productive stay.
Families and long-staying guests will find the suites particularly appealing. Ranging from the 45-square-meter Deluxe Suite to the expansive 91-square-meter Premier Suite, these accommodations provide not just a place to sleep but a home away from home. The Premier Suite, in particular, features a 180-degree city view through its curved floor-to-ceiling window, a sight to behold, especially during festive firework displays.
Dining at Novotel Suites Manila at Acqua is an experience in itself. Tempus, the all-day dining restaurant, serves a breakfast buffet and a la carte options for lunch and dinner. Guests can also enjoy the luxury of a private dining room that accommodates up to 20 people, ideal for intimate gatherings or business meetings.
The hotel's infinity swimming pool is perched on the sixth floor, where you have a view of the Pasig River and nearby neighborhoods. The Lobby Lounge, located on the 21st floor, is another spot where guests can soak in the panoramic cityscape while enjoying a refreshing drink. For those looking to stay active, the InBalance Fitness Centre has modern cardio machines and weights.
Being located near the Maysilo Circle, Novotel Suites Manila at Acqua also has easy access to city attractions in downtown Manila—via the Bacood-Mandaluyong Bridge; and bars and restaurants in Poblacion—via the Makati-Mandaluyong Bridge, Estrella-Pantaleon Bridge, or even the five-peso tawiran. You can also go on a ferry ride via the Pasig River Ferry Station just across the hotel.
