(SPOT.ph) Catching early flights in Metro Manila can be tricky. You have to take into account the horrendous traffic along EDSA, the number of minutes it would take to book a Grab, and the long queues at immigration. The safest mindset would be to leave the house at least five hours before your flight and just doze off at the airport benches (or binge-watch previously downloaded Netflix shows) while waiting for boarding. It’s a good thing that travelers now have the option to sleep comfortably at Savoy Hotel Manila, a 12-storey accommodation right in front of the Ninoy Aquino International Airport Terminal 3 in Pasay City. Some rooms even have a view of the runway—that’s how near it is! Shuttles are available 24/7 to bring you to the airport.
Opened in June, Savoy Hotel Manila boasts 684 rooms with sizes that range from 23 to 27 square meters. You can choose from the standard room named Essential; The Runway, an executive room with a sprawling view of the airport and the cityscape; The Space, which has enough room for your bulky luggage; and The Deck, which is the hotel’s most high-end accommodation that comes with a dedicated courtesy line. If you hate talking on the phone (shout-out to all the introverts!), you can send a message to the front desk through Viber, What’sApp, WeChat, or SMS to order room service or ask for extra toiletries.
Workaholics can also enjoy Savoy Hotel’s The Squares, co-working spaces on several floors that are equipped with high-speed Internet connection, electricity ports, and USB charging stations. Let’s face it, it’s hard to avoid responding to e-mails or taking one last look at spreadsheets and documents even when on vacation. But just in case you’re really done working, the busy entertainment center of Newport City, Resorts World Manila, is just a hotel shuttle away. Just check with the concierge for your pick-up and drop-off time.
If you’re worried that you might miss your flight or keen on getting some shut-eye before changing time zones, Savoy Hotel Manila may be your most convenient option.
Savoy Hotel Manila is at 101 Andrews Avenue, Newport City Complex, Pasay City. For more information, visit Savoy Hotel’s website.
