In preparation for my nephew’s birthday party, we’ve decided do to a staycation in Holiday Inn and Suites Makati so that we could do mini-photoshoots in the hotel and the nearby malls. We’ve had a great time and the photos turned out lovely. The guests at the party enjoyed looking at them.
Metro Manila has some of the world-class luxury hotels in the country. Among the most highly recommended (in Agoda and TripAdvisor) for family staycation is the Holiday Inn and Suites of Makati. This hotel is located right in the heart of the Makati Business District.
Here are 10 excellent reasons why Holiday Inn and Suites should be the next staycation hotel for your family:
- Convenient location for entertainment
The hotel is just a few steps away from the Glorietta Shopping Mall, where you can find everything you need from designer outfits to grocery items. You and your family can shop, dine, or watch films all you want. What’s more, Glorietta is just adjacent to other marvelous shopping places, particularly the posh Greenbelt and the Landmark Department Store.
- Modern and spacious guest rooms
You can never get enough of the ultra-comfortable rooms complete with amenities such as mini-bar, cable TV, work area, and safe.
- Super comfortable bed with firm and soft pillows
- Mini bar

If you can’t live without your phone, tablet and laptop, you’ll be glad to know that Holiday Inn provides free Wifi access to guests. No need to miss all the office emails and Facebook posts.
- Kids Eat and Stay Free Program
Kids aged 12 and younger get to eat free anytime of the day in any Holiday Inn restaurant. Restaurants feature kids’ menus to keep your young ones happy, satisfied, and full. Nothing could be kid-friendlier!

You can mix business with pleasure, as the hotel has fully-equipped meeting and function rooms. You can attend that all-important business meeting while your family is nearby enjoying the pool and other hotel amenities. From your own hotel room, you can also make local and toll-free calls, or IDD/NDD calls (charged upon checkout). Also avail of free printing and faxing services.

Chill out at a bar alongside the swimming pool area on the rooftop. Feel the breezes and stargaze all you want. You will definitely not get this experience at home! It was just too bad it rained while we were there and wasn’t able to use the swimming pool.
