Just like home
Coming home to your hotel room may have a strange ring to it. When was the last time a hotel felt like home anyway? After all, hotels are meant to be business establishments, devoid of warmth and homeliness. Truth to tell, some hotels actually take steps to ensure that their guests will not feel like customers.
One such hotel that takes the extra mile (and smile) is the Linden Suites. For years it has become the byword among families that prefer to spend their weekends here. The Linden Suites’ consistency has even attracted singletons and business travelers who are looking for a home away from home.
We know of families that do spend quality time at the Linden Suites, and it is not just because of its accessible location. It is also about feeling like they never left home. The hotel staff has been known to remember guests’ preferences: from choice of pillows to anniversaries.
The suites are equipped with the stuff one would find in one’s home. A suite is equipped with a microwave oven, a range top, toaster, and rice cooker. Guests can bring their own ingredients and cook right in their own suites.
For entertainment, there’s cable TV (LCD TV!) and a stereo DVD player. The hotel has a library that carries several DVD titles that families can rent for free.
As if that aren’t enough, iPod lovers can bring their own units and hook them up to the system. Guests can also borrow the hotel’s PlayStations and out-duel each other in their Wi-Fi-ready rooms.
Recently, the hotel opened its new building which houses 40 two- to three-bedroom units, and four penthouse suites. Just like the other rooms, these units are taking the home-away-from-home concept to the future.
Of course, some would also want to amuse themselves outside the hotel. And it is a good thing, considering that the Linden Suites is located in Ortigas Center. It is near business districts and commercial centers. Guests can even have their food delivered to their own rooms by their favorite restaurants.
Otherwise, they can always count on the hotel to serve delectable meals at Bar Ce Lona, which offers Spanish cuisine, and Azzuro, the main dining restaurant.
Even the wellness front has been covered well. The hotel has a heated indoor pool, a gym, Jacuzzi, sauna, and massage parlor. Who needs anything else?
At the end of the day, one would just want to be rid of worries and find warmth in the comfort of a suite. The Linden Suites has always provided both and so much more.
