HOTEL REVIEW: Our Royal Staycation at Hotel H20 Manila

There is probably nothing as calming and soothing that watching fish swim in an aquarium. And wouldn’t it be even more wonderful if you were to fall asleep surrounded with fish all around you?

Now this can become true if you were to book a room in the Hotel H20 in Manila. Certainly an innovative hotel, which will take your breath away in various ways.

This hotel can offer you a one of a kind experience, and allow you to feel as if you were in an ocean. However, you will not get wet or worry about not knowing how to swim!

The Hotel H2O opened in 2010. The inspiration behind its décor came from the islands that surround the Philippines. There are in fact over 7,100 islands in all.

The hotel is perched on top of the Manila Bay, and is full of marine-themed rooms where guests can sleep surrounded with fish. There is easy access to the Manila Ocean Park too. In fact the hotel and the ocean park are integrated in one structure.

The hotel’s lobby is on the third floor, and from here you will find 147 hotel rooms and suites. There are different types of rooms that one can choose from. The most common ones are the Parkview Rooms which have a view on the Manila Ocean Park, and the Bayview Rooms that overlook Manila Bay.

But besides these, there are more special suites too.

For instance, the Aqua Room is the hotel’s signature room, and it is truly one of a kind. This room has a life-sized aquarium. This aquarium runs the length of the room’s main wall. The room measure 25 square metres, so you can imagine just how big this aquarium is. There are fish in all the colours you can imagine and in different sizes, all swimming in this awesome aquarium. As you relax in a queen-sized bed, you will get to see this gorgeous marine world right next to you.

Besides this awesome aquarium, there is also an LCD TV, high speed internet access, a minibar and a work desk in the room. Complimentary beverages and snacks are found in the minibar. The bathroom is also very nice as it is nicely decorated with modern, high quality fixtures.

Even though you will feel as if you would like to spend most of the time staring at the aquarium in your room, there is also much more waiting for you in the hotel. For instance, the Liquid Pool and Lounge will surely attract your attention. This is an open-air restaurant near the pool area, just outside the hotel. The pool is part of the Manila Ocean Park but hotel guests can make use of it too.

When it comes to the food, the price was really affordable and the variety was quite good.

The restaurant is designed just like a food court or a market, with several stalls serving the various dishes.

There is also the Zenyu Eco Spa which is worth visiting, especially to try out their Hot Bed Treatment. Then there is the Fitness Room overlooking the Manila Ocean Park.

All in all the H2O Hotel is a hotel that will exceed your expectations and your stay will surely be a memorable one.
