For Savoy Hotel Manila, hospitality goes beyond welcoming guests. It also means sharing the flavors, traditions, and culture that make the Philippines special.
Located in Newport City, just across Ninoy Aquino International Airport Terminal 3, the hotel welcomes international travelers, balikbayans, overseas Filipino workers, and local guests. Through its dining concepts and seasonal offerings, it gives visitors a taste of Filipino cuisine alongside Asian and international favorites.
Hospitality with a Filipino Heart
After 30 years in the hospitality industry, both in the Philippines and abroad, General Manager Den Navarro continues to find inspiration in genuine service.
“It’s always the genuine and heartfelt service that we give to the guests,” Navarro shared.
For him, making guests feel welcome and well cared for is at the heart of the hotel experience. This approach also reflects the country’s reputation for warmth and hospitality.
At Savoy Hotel Manila, that same spirit extends to its dining outlets, where food becomes another way to connect with guests from different backgrounds.
Three Dining Spots, One Culinary Experience
The hotel offers three dining outlets, each designed for different occasions.
Savoy Cafe serves Filipino comfort food and local favorites alongside Asian and international dishes. Meanwhile, Zabana Bar, located in the lobby, provides a relaxed setting for afternoon tea, quick snacks, drinks, and casual get-togethers.
For guests seeking a laid-back atmosphere, the poolside bar offers comfort food in a setting surrounded by greenery and sunshine.
Together, these outlets give guests plenty of opportunities to enjoy familiar favorites and discover new flavors during their stay.
Bringing Regional Flavors to the Table
Beyond its location as an airport hotel, Savoy Hotel Manila also serves as a gateway to the country’s diverse culinary traditions.
Navarro explained that the hotel collaborates with its sister properties in destinations such as Boracay, Cebu, and Iloilo. Through these partnerships, regional specialties make their way to the hotel’s dining outlets.
“We are not only a gateway to the Philippines, but we are also a gateway to enjoy more of the Filipino cuisines,” he said.
This approach allows guests to explore flavors from different parts of the country without having to travel far.
Christmas Feasts for Every Gathering
With the holiday season approaching, Savoy Hotel Manila has rolled out its Christmas offerings, including traditional puto bumbong and bibingka served in the lobby.
Guests can also look forward to Christmas Eve dinner buffets, a poolside countdown celebration, and feast-to-go trays. New this year is the Christmas Bilao, which brings holiday specialties straight to guests’ homes for sharing with family and friends.
These offerings make it easier for guests to celebrate the season, whether at the hotel or around their own dining tables.
Creating Memories Through Filipino Food
Looking ahead, Navarro hopes every meal at Savoy Hotel Manila leaves guests with something meaningful to remember.
The goal is to showcase Filipino dishes in ways that encourage discovery and create lasting connections.
As Navarro puts it, the hotel wants guests to leave with memorable experiences and meaningful stories to share with their loved ones.
This Christmas, Savoy Hotel Manila invites everyone to discover the warmth of Filipino hospitality, one delicious meal at a time.
