Hotel experience redefined at The Bellevue Manila

-

Operating since 2003, The Bellevue Manila, is the premier business and leisure venue south of the Metro. Boasting continuous growth over the years, the hotel now houses 456 rooms with modern communicat­ions equipment and exceptiona­l banquet facilities.

It started operations in 2003 when the Main Wing opened. In 2005, the Grand Ballroom, a two- storey structure with an 800- person maximum capacity and Oriental motif of elegant colors, black lacquer, silver leaf and gold, complement­ed by sculptures, artwork and a special design with onion-inspired pendant lighting, was inaugurate­d.

After five years, the Tower Wing provided leverage for the hotel with its Asian-inspired design mixed with postmodern interiors, which evokes a sense of beauty and timelessne­ss. Its dining outlets are also popular, such as Café D’Asia which features an array of internatio­nal favorites, Phoenix Court which lets you experience authentic Oriental dining, Vue Bar which is the first party destinatio­n in Alabang that offers an almost 360-degree view of the city, Pastry Corner and Poolside. The hotel also has its own wellness facilities and fully equipped Azurea Spa, gym and salon, which ultimately brings to reality the vision of ultimate comfort and convenienc­e.

As if all those were not enough, the hotel has also launched its Signature Club, an exclusive lounge available for guests who want more perks during their stay.

The 900- sqm lounge occupies the hotel’s entire 21st floor and is exclusive to those who book their stay in any of the hotel’s suites, or the 45 Signature Rooms located on the 18th, 19th and 20th floors.

“The Bellevue Signature Club embraces privacy, luxury, and careful attention to detail designed for today’s sophistica­ted travellers,” says The Bellevue Manila managing director John Patrick Chan. “The Bellevue Signature Club has been created for those who appreciate the extra level of convenienc­e, personal service and value,” he adds.

Hotel within a hotel

Conceptual­ized as a hotel within a hotel, Signature Club aims to redefine the standards of executive accommodat­ions.

Open daily from 6 a. m. to 10 p. m., the 94- seater lounge offers stunning panoramic views of the Alabang skyline as showcased in the floor- to- ceiling glass windows. The view offers the most beautiful backdrop to this private space, which offers a unique world of essential facilities and extraordin­ary privileges.

Guests in the hotel’s Signature Club floors can avail of hassle-free check in and check out. Guests can then settle in and partake of the delicious bounty offered to them for free. The lounge offers compliment­ary continenta­l buffet breakfast from 6–10 a.m., and unlimited cocktail beverages from 5–8 p.m. Guests can also enjoy all-day unlimited coffee and tea.

Work and leisure

For those who need to catch up with work, the lounge has four meeting rooms, which are equipped with wide- screen LED television­s, telephones and projection equipment should you need to make a business presentati­on. There are also three computer workstatio­ns equipped with video cameras for teleconfer­encing with one’s colleagues.

Signature Club room guests are also entitled to compliment­ary printing and photocopyi­ng, as well as free unlimited wireless broadband Internet access for their smartphone­s and tablets. Should you need to smoke, the lounge also has a dedicated smoking area.

While Bellevue already has a gym in its main wing open to all of its guests, the Signature Club located at the hotel’s tower wing has its own gym exclusive for guests booked in the hotel’s suites and in the rooms at the Signature Club floors.

Modern elegance at its best

Beyond the lounge, guests can enjoy their stay at The Bellevue Signature Club rooms.

The rooms at The Bellevue Signature Club floors are bigger than the standard rooms in other hotels. The Signature Club’s Deluxe Room measures 41 sqm, while the Club Floor’s Executive Suites are at 56 sqm each. But the biggest of them all is the Presidenti­al Suite, which occupies 164 sqm of floor space.

And as one can expect from The Bellevue, the Signature Club floors has exceptiona­lly wellappoin­ted rooms that evoke modern elegance at its best.

The Signature Club Floors also have the Bellevue Suites, which has all the features of a Deluxe Room plus its own massage bed — perfect for guests who want to get a rubdown at the privacy of their own rooms. The Bellevue Suites also has its own living and dining areas, as well as an oversized bathroom.

All told, The Bellevue Manila inspires a wonderful sense of classic elegance in a superior level of hotel service that is both personal and gratifying.
