BSA Suites Hotel Manila

BSA Suites Hotel Manila, located at 103 C. Palanca St. Legaspi Village, is a three (3)-star hotel situated in a very convenient location in the heart of the Makati Business District in Manila, Philippines. Tourists could take a 40 minute taxi ride from the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) to get to this highly-recommended accommodation.

Its minimalist design begins with its 34 floors modern high rise structure and continues to its lobby, where it resembles a bare hallway which leads to the two fully functioning elevators. To further emphasize on its simplistic décor, the lobby is furnished with only a reception desk.

Unlike its exterior structure and lobby, its interiors are plush and well decorated. Each of its 223 fully furnished rooms is equipped with air-conditioning, cable television, iron and ironing board, and telephone (National Direct Dialing and International Direct Dialing compliant). Techno-savvy tourists would sure get their money’s worth as selected rooms are outfitted with broadband Internet access. Each room is also furnished with a luxurious bathroom (en suite) especially designed for travel-weary guests who need to ease their way into total relaxation.

Having to go out in the middle of the night to grab a bite to eat would no longer be a problem as each room is provided with a kitchen which has all the essentials of making a great meal – cutlery and crockery, glassware, an electric stove, a refrigerator and a microwave.

Set right in the heart of the Makati Business District, it’s literally a minute’s walk from the Ayala Avenue Business District and the Philippine Stock Exchange which allows its guest to visit the institutions that give life to the Philippine economy. BSA Suites Hotel offers world-class services and amenities which cater to the exact needs of their business guests with its spacious Business Center. The hotel’s Business Center includes fully furnished function rooms, all outfitted with the necessary audio-visual equipment for business-related meetings.

After a long day’s work, guests could get a soothing massage at the hotel’s massage center or dip in the cool waters of the hotel’s rooftop swimming pool. Guests who wish to immerse themselves in nature’s relaxing ambience without leaving the city could go to the hotel’s garden deck.

Keeping in mind their guests’ physical well-being, BSA Suites Hotel Manila has set up a well-equipped gymnasium. Guests who wish to prepare for a romantic dinner or get ready to experience Makati’s great night life could get quality grooming services from the hotel’s beauty parlor. The hotel doesn’t have a restaurant of its own but guests could avail of its excellent room service.

Running out of clothes is no longer a problem as the hotel offers laundry and dry cleaning services. BSA Suites offers free parking space for its guests with its 7 level car park. The hotel offers car rental services for guests who would want to explore Metro Manila without the hassle of hailing cabs. Mindful of their guests’ safety, BSA Suites Hotel Manila runs a 24-hour hotel security service.

Guests at BSA Suites Hotel Manila could take full advantage of its relative proximity to Glorietta Mall, Makati’s largest shopping center. A brisk 15 minute walk from the hotel is all it takes to enjoy Glorietta Mall, the one stop shop for all the high-end merchandise this side of Makati. Glorietta is one of the few malls in the country which sells designer clothes and accessories. It also is the hub for high quality electronic devices and furniture.

Guests whose budget is more for the mass market could always take the Metro Rail Transit (MRT) to get to Shoe Mart (SM) Megamall. The Ayala Station of the MRT is just adjacent to the Glorietta Mall. Guests could take a ride on the MRT and get off at the Ortigas Station. SM Megamall is just a 10 to 15 minute walk from the MRT Ortigas Station. SM Megamall, one of the largest malls in the country, sells top quality merchandise at affordable prices. As its name suggests, Shoe Mart (SM) Megamall specializes in shoes – from imported designer shoes to locally produced shoes.

For those who want a taste of Manila’s rich history, guests at the hotel could arrange special tours around the city’s various historical landmarks. Intramuros is a popular destination for those seeking the remnants of the Philippine’s colonial past. Known as the “Walled City,” Intramuros is one of the country’s surviving ruins of the Spanish colonization. Various antique shops and museums are located near Intramuros, all of which carry the theme of Spanish influence to Philippine society and culture. Guests could also arrange a tour of Rizal Park. Rizal Park is dedicated to the memory of the country’s national hero, Dr. Jose Rizal. Formerly called Bagumbayan, it was where the hero was executed by firing squad. The 60 hectare park now caters to family and leisurely activities as it contains restaurants, playgrounds, beautifully ornate fountains, horse-drawn carriage rides and even an open air concert hall.

Another popular destination is Quiapo Church. Deemed as one of Manila’s grandest churches, Quiapo Church is flocked by Filipinos who ask for anything from passing the entrance exam to finally conceiving a child from the miraculous Black Nazarene. Every January 9th, the Black Nazarene is placed in a carriage for a procession. Thousands of devotees try to come near the Black Nazarene as local lore says a mere touch from the gilded rope which pulls the carriage is enough to grant one’s wishes.
