5 Reasons to Have a Holiday Staycation at Meranti Hotel in Quezon City

 As the holidays are fast approaching, a lot of us just want to relax and enjoy life. The usual option would be to go out of town. Rather than hassle yourself with all the traffic and bottlenecks, having a staycation seems to be a better and affordable alternative. Staying at hotels and doing nothing pretty much would be the definition of a vacation.
 At MERANTI HOTEL in QUEZON CITY, that is their business. Here are 5 reasons why you should consider having a staycation with them this holiday season.
 1) COMFORT.
 Either way you look at it, MERANTI HOTEL has emphasize the importance of sleep quality. The beds are terribly good. One minute on it and you will have a hard time standing up because of how comfortable it is. The pillows are well thought off as well. One is feathery soft while the other is a bit harder and seems to be a memory foam.
 
 2) LOCATION.
 The hotel is strategically located along Scout Castor street and has another entrance on Roces Avenue. From here, it is walking distance to different establishments in the Tomas Morato area such as the original Max's.
 MAX'S has been creating new dishes that compliments and goes well with it's juicy and succulent original fried chicken. Some would go for the classics like Kare-Kare or Pinakbet. Their version of the Pork Adobo was pretty good. This would be the right place to have lunch or dinner specially if you're with the family.
 3) Holiday Specials

 For December 24 till the 30th, MERANTI'S in house restaurant has created a few dishes to entice their guests. Thinking about Filipino traditional dishes, they have created a menu that is perfect for the season of sharing. The CHRISTMAS SOTANGHON SOUP would be just right for the cold weather. Smooth and it definitely warms the stomach. In a genius manner, they recreated the PINOY SPAGHETTI. This is the traditional and old school recipe that is quite familiar with the Filipinos as they grew up. Unlike the original foreign version, this one is sweet to taste and is filled with even those hotdog cuts. Delicious.
 For rice lovers, they might enjoy the SEAFOOD PAELLA. This one is a bit on the soupy side as it tries to share the flavors of the sea.
 Interesting and delightful, the CHICKEN RELLENO is the Filipino version of Chicken with stuffing. Ground beef mixed with vegetable and spices were placed inside for the meat to absorb the flavors.
 Dessert was masterfully done. The Christmas Tree looking sweet ending is called the AGAR-AGAR. There is sticky rice at the bottom layer while different jelly in the middle. On top lies the leche flan and a sweet design.
 If you aren't into over the top dishes, you might want to go for the simple BIBINGKA. This one are bite sized specialty that has salted eggs and a bit of coconut shavings. These dishes would be offered as a set. You may want to reserve a day ahead just in case.
 4) RECREATION
 As mentioned, staycations are there to be enjoyed. You deserve having time for yourself to browse the internet, drink a little and even enjoy the state-of-the-art smart tv. Remember, it's perfectly fine not to be disturbed.
5) ROOM SERVICE
 Since MAPLE is the in house restaurant of MERANTI HOTEL, you can be assured of their quality dishes. Thankfully, you have the luxury to have them either in room or downstairs in the lobby. The breakfast spread isn't as huge as other places but it is somewhat complete and filling.
Even if most of the reasons are about food, staycations are what you make of them. Basically, staying in bed all day and relaxing. At MERANTI HOTEL, they'll make sure you do just that.

MERANTI HOTEL in QUEZON CITY: A Relaxing Staycation


PLEASE DO NOT DISTURB. Simple bliss. A perfect way to experience relaxation and just slumber. This is how MERANTI HOTEL in QUEZON CITY does it for you.

Located on a foodie heaven of QUEZON CITY, MERANTI HOTEL is the newest venture of the MAX GROUP. This is their first fray into the world of HOTELS. As you enter, you are greeted by huge light installations in their modern lobby.
When you check in, welcome drinks are served. In our case, a glass of Sago't Gulaman. Something refreshing to start the staycation. As you enter your room, you can't help but see how spacious and clean the vibe is. Definitely for relaxing.

A desk is provided for your needs as well as a cordless phone and a small vault for your personal belongings.
The entertainment system is top notch. Their smart television is connected to the internet as it also acts as the router. Here, you are able to get your wifi password and even watch Youtube or listen to Spotify.
Bathroom essentials are named in such a way that it would brighten up your day. The sink is outside of the washroom perfect for a quick refresh. The toilet is equipped with a bidet and the shower area is spacious.

As for the hotel amenities, there is a small pool on the top floor.

A couple of meeting places for business transactions and also a small business center are there for your needs.

A simple turn down service is also provided and it comes with a sweet token just before sleep.

Speaking off, the bed is wonderful. Having a 400 thread count, the linens are just amazing. The comfort level it provided is simply astonishing.

The pillows are both soft and hard. Perfect for the light sleeper. The bed has just the right amount of softness that would push you to stay in and just relax.

Just in case you wanted to have a quick snack or a heavy meal, the in house restaurant of MERANTI HOTEL is MAPLE.
Just located on the ground floor, guests are assured of delicious treats as MAPLE is known for their all day breakfast delights.

One could start of with the HOUSE SALAD. A light vinaigrette is used to mix the vegetables together.
A SOUTHERN STYLED FRIED CHICKEN would be perfect for the kids. These are coated to perfection and fried to make it deliciously crunchy.
The main highlight of their menu though would be the PRIME RIB TAPA. Tender and almost steak like, this prime rib is marinated to perfection. Partnered with vinegar, you would definitely ask for more rice as each bite is tender and flavorful.
Breakfast is another story. I believe MERANTI HOTEL is trying to provide as much as they can by offering Filipino choices for breakfast.


To start off, you could make your own salad. Bread and cheese is provided as well as cereals. The main attraction though would be the BEEF TAPA and the GARLIC LONGANISA. The Tapa is slightly sweet but definitely delicious. The longanisa would partner well with the eggs and rice.
Fish lovers would also enjoy the danggit. One bite in and you would appreciate the crunchy texture and the salty flavor.
MERANTI HOTEL in QUEZON CITY is the perfect place to escape just for the weekend. The bed is wonderful and the food they serve is delicious. Definitely a must visit.
