6 Hotels for a Romantic Staycation South of The Metro

Valentine’s Day is right around the corner. It’s a time when couples share their love with one another – and this usually calls for intimate and memorable moments together. For 2019, expect a lot of couples traveling to far away places such as Japan, Indonesia, or even France to create those kinds of moments.

Unfortunately, not everyone has the luxury or at least the time, to go out of town, much more out of the country. In fact, a lot of couples even consider looking at doing romance on a budget. Luckily for us, the Metro South area (or Alabang to be more specific) has many options for those opting to have their romantic staycation nearby:

The Bellevue Manila

Located within the Northgate area, it’s right beside Fast Bytes – an establishment that has a selection of the usual food choices.

Vivere Suites

A rival of Bellevue in both proximity and age, Vivere has been reviewed a jewel in the south of Metro Manila.

Acacia Hotel Manila

Acacia is seen to be one of the most relaxing hotels to stay in the area. Located in Commerce Avenue, it’s away from common public transportation vehicles making it the best choice for a quiet stay. It’s very near the main malls and establishments. A short walk will bring you to Commerecenter, while Festival and Alabang Town Center is a 2-3 minute drive away.

In front of the hotel is the Filinvest Tent. Bazaars happen in this area from time to time so you might be lucky enough to catch one during your stay.

Azumi Boutique Hotel

Veering away from the list of 5-star hotels in the area, Azumi stands out as an affordable yet stylish and environmentally friendly hotel. Located at the Madrigal Business Park, guests are visually greeted by earth tones, orange decor, and wood laminate floors. Their roof deck also provides a comforting escape with a 360-degree view of Alabang. This hotel has recently been a constant choice for couples on the lookout for a quick staycation.

B Hotel Alabang

Also located at the Madrigal Business Park is the sister hotel of Bellevue Manila, B Hotel Alabang. Originally described as “the 3-star hotel with a 5-star feel” – and rightly so. Their rooms are cozy while the interiors give off a relaxing vibe for their guests. One thing to note is the hotel does not have its own pool. Since it’s a sister hotel of Bellevue, the staff can provide a shuttle service for their guests going to Bellevue who are looking to swim.

There you have it! These are just some of the well-known hotels in the Alabang area. Wild ideas and adventures are usually made when people plan for Valentine’s Day – but it’s good to remember that the occasion is more about love and intimacy rather than grand gestures. Always keep your budget and schedule in mind, even if it’s Valentine’s Day. So if you and your partner are looking for practical choices to spend the night in, give these hotels a look and be sure to make the most out of your stay.
