Ultimate Pampering At The Blulane Hotel

by Paula Cabildo - May 29, 2018

Known as the world’s oldest China Town, Binondo is the center of commerce and trade of Manila ever since it was established in 1594. Aside from serving as a gateway of business for the Filipino-Chinese community, Binondo is also a must-visit tourist spot in the country because of its history and culture that’s gives tourists a taste of old Manila and Filipino-Chinese culture.

The newly opened Blulane Hotel is situated in the heart of Binondo where the old-world charm meets the modern facilities of the hotel. The 17-story hotel has 172 luxurious rooms that is prefect for every traveler, businessman, local and international guests. It consists of 120 Superior rooms, 29 de luxe, 9 premier, 10 executive and 4 VIP room. The hotel is surrounded with historical landmarks and recreational hubs where one can see the strong influence of Chinese culture.

The first media launch was held on May 25-26 and was attended by media, bloggers and influencers. Attendees were lucky enough to be given the chance to experience excellent service from Blulane staff and have a relaxing overnight stay at the hotel.

With my hectic schedule, I find it hard to squeeze in staycation in my activities and rare moments like this matters a lot to keep me sane and energize for a brand new work week.

I stayed at the Superior room (PHP7000) which comes either with a king sized bed or 2 single beds. As a blogger, I have deadlines to meet which makes the work area my favorite part of the room. Fresh linens, shiny floors, cool AC and a clean bathroom makes my stay really worth it and conducive to relaxation.

The hotel has 2 specialty restaurants that serves Cantonese and Western menu. For dinner, Blu Dynasty served us sumptuous Cantonese cuisines.
