I attended the Kabayan Hotel’s groundbreaking ceremony about five (5) years ago. I was very excited at the time because it promised a similar functional and modern design. Apart from its convenient location, which is approximately 20 minutes from Ninoy Aquino International Airport and within walking distance of Bus and MRT stations, it has become more accessible with the addition of our favorite malls, such as SM Mall of Asia and Resorts World Manila.
In the 22 years since it first opened its doors, the Kabayan Hotel has solidified a name among its clients and visitors for offering excellent value. It quickly became the hotel of choice for balikbayans and overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) thanks to its excellent location along EDSA-Pasay and its close proximity to both domestic and international airports, transportation hubs, government offices, and employment agencies, offering its own distinctive brand of warm Filipino hospitality at affordable rates.
Today, I witnessed again the launching of the well-planned expansion.
Kabayan Hotel has changed the hospitality landscape over the years with innovations like Dorm Rooms and team accommodations, Pad Rooms for backpackers and seamen, and Japanese-style Kapsule Rooms. Here’s one of the room accommodations.
It debuted another exciting new type of accommodation in 2023 with the opening of its Kabayan Suites on the top floor of its newly-constructed building. Each Kabayan Suite features a luxurious room, a well-appointed bathroom, and a relaxing resort atmosphere ideal for family vacations. Furthermore, guests can enjoy all of this at a reasonable price. The new building also features brand new Pad and Mabuhay Suites (below) for visitors who want to enjoy room amenities designed for a comfortable stay in the heart of the bustling metropolis.
Look at this accent from along the hallway.
Filipiniana Feel
The new Kabayan Hotel building features local elements that showcase Filipino culture and craftsmanship. The first thing that caught my attention is this!
The elegant revolving glass door welcomes guests to the spacious lobby. The reception area’s walls are adorned with panels of handcrafted sulihiya made from banaca. The front desk is made of pristine marble and natural hardwood, and the elevators are adorned with pia embroidery and mother of pearl inlays.
Look at this craftmanship!
Traditional Filipino food also comes to the fore at the Salo restaurant, which offers bestsellers such as crispy pata, kare-kare, and beef mechado for a true taste of home. It also has daily merienda buffets from 2 to 5p.m. serving comfort food favorites such as arroz caldo, ginataang mais, and garlic sotanghon, along with popular street food like fishballs, kikiam and kakanin (rice cakes) for only P249/pax.
At the center of all this remains the hotel’s continued commitment to provide genuine, guest-centered Pinoy hospitality. “At Kabayan hotel, we welcome our guests much like we welcome visitors at home. We want to make their stay as convenient for them as possible,” says General Manager Raymund Aves.
And what is a grand launch without a very inviting promos? As Kabayan Hotel is celebrating its 22nd year, they also announced its Anniversary deals with a remarkable 50% OFF! Yes, you can book their Mabuhay suites for as low as P3,300! What a steal!
Congratulations, Kabayan Hotel. I look forward to review the hotel in full like I always share soon. For more information about Kabayan Hotel‘s offerings and to book your stay, visit www.kabayanhotel.com.ph
