An Independence Day Staycation at F1 Hotel Manila

A mid-week holiday, right here at the heart of Bonifacio Global City. A staycation at F1 Hotel Manila is probably one of the best ways to celebrate Independence Day...

And it was great to be back at F1 Hotel Manila (see my previous post on my first F1 Hotel Manila staycation here at http://dude4food.blogspot.com/2013/06/a-cool-staycation-at-f1-hotel-manila.html).

The very first hotel to open at The Fort, F1 Hotel Manila is centrally located at the heart of Bonifacio Global City, within walking distance to corporate offices, shopping centers, upscale boutique shops and recreational facilities. Yet one feels a million miles away from the rush of the metro, like your very own sanctuary at the center high above Bonifacio Global City.

F1 Hotel Manila's elegant Fort Suite, a spacious one bedroom unit with a separate living area and a convertible sofa bed ideal for families with kids, served as my sanctuary during my Independence Day staycation at F1 Hotel Manila.

The cozy and well-appointed bedroom offers privacy and comfort, with its own flat screen TV and internet. One is almost tempted to stay in bed the whole day, but there's so much more to do at F1 Hotel Manila...

The day's forecast mentioned possible rains, and the looming grey skies seemed to bring just that. But not even rains or cloudy skies could ruin my staycation at F1 Hotel Manila. As part of my Independence Day staycation experience at F1 Hotel Manila, I get to sample the best of Philippine cuisine in the second edition of Luzviminda, showcasing regional flavors from Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao, headed by F1 Hotel Manila's very own Sau del Rosario, with guest chefs Tristan Encarnacion, Editha Singian, and Victor Barangan representing the three other regions (check out my previous post on my first Luzviminda experience at F1 Hotel Manila here at http://dude4food.blogspot.com/2013/06/simply-awesome-luzviminda-filipino.html). A two-week long celebration of festive Filipino flavors, and the best way to celebrate Independence Day.

Like an oasis in the middle of a bustling concrete jungle, F1 Hotel Manila keeps you right in the center of it all, yet one has the impression of being away from it all. And that's what makes F1 Hotel Manila special. Accessible, yet secluded, your very own sanctuary at The Fort.
