On July 11, 2024, I had the fantastic opportunity to stay at the Brittany Hotel BGC with our friends from Cebu Pacific Air, and I'm excited to share my journey!

A Warm Welcome

Upon arriving from the airport, I was immediately captivated by the hotel’s stunning lobby. The design is a perfect blend of modern elegance and a cozy vibe. To my left, the inviting “For The Road” ressto welcomed us, while the concierge stood ready to assist on my right. The high ceilings and warm, green tones made me feel like I had stepped into a serene morning garden.

Nestled in the heart of Bonifacio Global City, the Brittany Hotel takes a fresh and contemporary approach to hospitality. With 125 beautifully appointed rooms and a dedicated team known as “The Britts,” this boutique hotel truly stands out.




After dropping off our bags, we headed to the Wine Lab for a joint briefing and hotel tour. They treated us to delicious snacks and refreshing drinks—I may have indulged in three glasses!

Wellness and Events

For those looking to stay active, the hotel features a stunning penthouse pool and a well-equipped fitness center. Additionally, they offer versatile function rooms ideal for business meetings and social events.


Following the tour, I was treated to a quick pampering session at the Botanica Salon & Spa on Level 2. I enjoyed a soothing foot massage that nearly sent me to dreamland. It was exactly what I needed to unwind and recharge, with the tranquil atmosphere and a wide view of the streets of BGC and SM Aura.

Cozy Accommodations

Entering our Deluxe room was a delight. It was spacious, featuring plush bedding and a view of the vibrant Bonifacio Global City. I instantly felt at ease, ready to relax after our travels. They also served sweet treats in our room for a quick nibble while we set up our things. It was the perfect retreat after a busy day.

Culinary Adventures

Dining at Origine, the hotel’s restaurant, was one of the highlights of my stay. The Spanish cuisine was simply exquisite! Each dish burst with flavor, and I found myself savoring every bite. Imagine enjoying two kinds of paella, steak, and steamed fish in one sitting! I can't believe how it all fit in my belly.



Of course, desserts were served from Tea for Two, the hotel's Coffee Project version located on the ground floor. These sweets literally oozed with flavor in every bite.

The breakfast buffet was also a sensory delight, offering a wonderful mix of local and international dishes. I loved starting my day with a hearty meal that energized me for the activities ahead.
