But what really is a Lounge?

A Club Lounge or Club Level is an exclusive area where you can enjoy additional amenities and all day complimentary refreshments. Most lounges opens from 6:00am up to 10:00pm while others operate 24/7.

The Premier Lounge of Novotel Manila is located on the 24th floor and serves a variety of ala carte breakfast, all day snacks and beverages

The access to these lounges may be bundled up with standard room bookings with an additional fee but most of the time there is a specific room category that automatically gives Club access. These rooms are mostly suites or any other higher category than the usual deluxe rooms.

Is it worth it?

The price for stays with such access is pricier than usual but I would say that if you are a business traveler or staying in all day for relaxation, additional lounge benefits are definitely worth it. Breakfasts, Afternoon Tea and Dinner Cocktails serves bottomless drinks and endless snack refills wont leave you hungry! As for my stay with Novotel Manila Araneta, the upgraded amenities for Premier Lounge kept me busy the whole day.

I borrowed unique books from the reading nook and sipped juices and nibbled on healthy snacks for the whole afternoon! It was a day filled with relaxation and countless treats.

Happy lounging!
