We decided to stay overnight at Solaire Resort and Casino. One of the premium 5-star hotels in the Philippines, which is located at the heart of the Entertainment City in Metro Manila. The complex, covering a total of 8.3 hectares (21 acres), houses two 17-storey five-star hotels. Bay Tower and Sky Tower features total of 800 rooms, suites and villas.

We booked a Grand Deluxe (P12,800 a night) in advance, specifying a corner room. Upon checking into our room, it was clear they gave us a grand deluxe but not a corner room, and there was no living area. HB returned to the front desk to inform them that they'd given us a different room. Fortunately, they accommodated us in our corner Grand Deluxe on the 11th floor. We love it!♥ It's clean and spacious (57 sqm), with floor-to-ceiling windows, which have a delightful view of the city and bay.

It has a living room and bar/kitchenette area as well.

They put a lot of details into the design - the grandeur of the lobby, restaurants, and hallways. The casino sadly has a no-photography policy.

Red Lantern offers Cantonese cuisine

Yakumi - a Japanese restaurant / Strip Steakhouse provides signature steakhouse

 

There is Finestra (no photo) offering gourmet pizzas, handcrafted pastas and Italian dishes.

Solaire also has a huge outdoor resort pool with nice lounging area and private cabanas.

Small touches made us feel welcome. And yes, there was a small box of sweets waiting for us when we got back to our room.  Awesome freebie! ♥



We don't gamble, so the casino is out on our list. We've spent most of the time chowing down on food. :) But I'll be talking about that in my next post.

Till next time... toodles,
♥June
