Flavorful Celebrations at Novotel Manila Araneta Center

Independence Day. Father's Day. And the UEFA EuroCup 2016. Get ready for flavorful celebrations at Novotel Manila Araneta Center...


Novotel Manila Araneta Center gears up for flavorful celebrations with a series of exciting culinary feasts...

Towering high above Araneta Center up north, Novotel Manila Araneta Center is the metro's newest destination this side of Manila (more on Novotel Manila on my travel blog here). And if you stay up north, you don't have to drive far for world-class accommodations.

Novotel Manila Araneta Center now offers a fully equipped Library Children's Area (L) for the kids and an elegant Premier Lounge (R) for hotel guests for that perfect staycation. It's touches like these that make staying at Novotel Manila Araneta Center quite an experience.

The well-appointed Executive Suites at Novotel Manila Araneta Center has everything you need to make your stay a memorable one. Furnished with all the modern conveniences, it's your home away from home, and more.

A peek at the lavishly appointed suite (L), home for Ms. Universe Pia Wurtzbach for a few days, is just a preview of the world-class accommodations at Novotel Manila Araneta Center (more on Ms. Universe Pia Wurtzbach on my earlier post, A Day at the Market). At the pool deck, the Pool Bar and Lounge is now ready to serve you...


...with refreshing cocktails and light snacks as you enjoy a few laps at the pool. And the Pool Bar and Lounge is the perfect spot to catch the exciting UEFA play-offs, with live viewings and a selection of bar chow for that EuroCup 2016 vibe.


Starting June 11, 2016, the Pool Bar and Lounge will air live matches of the UEFA play-offs, bringing together fans of the world's most loved sport paired with premium beer and great food.


Indulge in premium cheeses and imported charcuterie...


...and hefty sandwiches and a cold imported brew as you cheer your favorite team for that winning goal.


Craving something sweet...


...or savory, you can find it all here at the Pool Bar and Lounge to give you the energy boost you need for the late night and early morning live matches of the UEFA play-offs.


Last Independence Day, Novotel Manila Araneta Center also celebrated the country's 118th year of independence with a feast of local flavors at the Food Exchange last June 10 to 12, 2016.


That Independence Day weekend, guests indulged on classic local favorites...


...including the traditional Kare-Kare, tender ox-tail and tripe in a rich peanut-based stew...


...Seafood Sinigang, with the freshest catch in a light and flavorful broth...


...and the iconic Lechon, slow-roasted pork belly, all for only P 1,588 net per person.


And finally, fathers from all over the metro get the royal treatment with the hotel's Dad's Day Out stay package for only P 5,750 per night. Dads and their families can enjoy overnight accommodations and breakfast buffet at the Food Exchange, and as part of Novotel's Kids Stay Free guarantee, two children younger than 15 years can stay with their families and enjoy their breakfast buffet for free. When availing this package, dads can enjoy the buffet lunch or dinner for free during their stay, while their companions get a 15% discount off the regular price. And dads get to enjoy some pork love at the Food Exchange with the Sunday Brunch Buffet for only P 1,588 net.


At the Sunday Brunch Buffet, indulge in Crispy Pata...


...crispy Pork Liempo...


...and Pork Sisig topped with crunchy chicharon...


...perfect when paired with an assortment of local beer.


You'll also find other classic local favorites, like the comforting Beef Bulalo...


...and Pork Binagoongan, each one Dad-Certified favorites.

After another round of the hotel's signature welcome drink, the refreshing Cucumber Unleaded Mocktail (R), Ms. Helene Pitrel (L), Novotel Manila's Director of Food and Beverage, then invited guests for the lunch buffet at the hotel's Food Exchange (more on the Food Exchange on my previous post here).


That day, the impressive Carving Station at the Food Exchange featured the Beef Morcon...


...along with Lechon, with tender and juicy pork capped by a thin layer of crisp crackling.


At the Chinese Station, get your fill of Lobster Balls in a warm bowl with vegetables...


...and some fresh seafood like Prawns and Mussels delicately poached in butter and garlic, each prepared ala minute by the station chefs.


And don't pass on the authentic Indian cuisine prepared by Chef Rajan, one of the popular stations at Food Exchange.

For dessert, cap your feast with freshly made Churros draped in chocolate and caramel, some homemade Espresso Ice Cream, or a refreshing bowl of Basil Lemon Sorbet. But there's more...


Fifteen scoops of ice cream, macarons, syrups, nuts, marshmallows and waffle wedges...meet the Le Mont Gourmand from the Gourmet Bar.
