Vacations need not be in far-flung places. I had a truly relaxing time on the first day of 2017 at the newest boutique hotel in Scout Castor ,Quezon City- Meranti Hotel. It is just 2 kilometers away from Kamuning MRT station.
Meranti Hotel is the newest baby of the Max's group- yes, the group behind the 'house that fried chicken built' - Max's Restaurant. Being under the flagship of Max's group, the hotel zealously uphold its standards and traditions. Upon entering the hotel, one is greeted 'Tuloy Po Kayo' - a typical Pinoy greeting of welcoming guests.
THE LOBBY
The lobby is inviting and stylish. My eyes were drawn immediately at the Cobonpue chairs and beautiful ceiling lamps.
THE ROOM
After all the partying from the Christmas and New Year Holidays, my body was weary and tired. My room at Meranti gave me the perfect relaxation I needed. The bed was really nice- it was so big you bet I was rolling on it! Hahaha! I had the most invitingly comfortable bed and cozy pillows. The lamps set the mood and after a bottle of Bailey's, I was ready to sleep- and what a sleep it was!
And since I wanted a bigger bed to share with my, uhm, special someone, I requested to have it moved to become one. Ahihihi. Pardon the crumpled linens.. :)
Complimentary coffee, tea and water.

The bathroom is walled with glass, complete with robes, towels and toiletries with quirky names. I was impressed that it was immaculate--and the mirrors, I adore!
For me, happiness is a long hot shower. The private toilet and bath that we had were divine--great water pressure, the soap and shampoo smells heavenly! A bath tub would have been awesome though. :)

Notice that wall that separates the bathroom-- it is not made of concrete nor marble..it is made of shells. How awesome is that?
Our corner room at the 7th floor has a magnificent view of Quezon City skyline.
THE FOOD / MAPLE AT MERANTI
We had buffet breakfast at Maple, located at one side of the hotel lobby. I was craving for 'tuyo' (dried fish) that morning and man, they have it that day! I also love the longganisa they served- it was the best I've had to date!
For lunch or dinner, delight your taste buds with Prime Rib Tapa, Southern Style Fried Chicken and Chillean Mussels! And if it's from Maple- you can never go wrong. I'd ran out of superlatives to describe how highly pleasant are they to the taste!
THE POOL
Indeed, the spot is perfect for morning or night dip or just lounge on the chairs for some beer!
