Our Room

Upon entering my one-bedroom suite, I was immediately impressed by the spaciousness and modern design. The room’s elegant yet contemporary style blends luxury with comfort, making it feel like a cozy home away from home. The suite features a spacious receiving area that gives it a condo-like feel, and the king-size bed was perfect for unwinding after a long day of exploring the city. I especially loved the pillows—they were incredibly soft, and I actually asked the hotel’s marketing team where I could purchase them because they guaranteed a peaceful, restful sleep.

The room’s design is sleek and contemporary, offering a calming environment that promotes relaxation. The bathroom is well-maintained and spotless, with luxurious toiletries including shampoo, conditioner, soap, and body lotion. The soft, fresh-smelling towels only add to the hotel’s commitment to cleanliness and comfort, ensuring a memorable stay.

Culinary Delights at F All Day Dining and The Canary

During our stay at F1 Hotel in BGC, we had the opportunity to dine at both of the hotel’s restaurants, F All Dining and The Canary. On our first day, we had dinner at F All Dining, where we ordered a variety of dishes, including Bagnet Kare-Kare, an Asian Barbecue Platter, Thai Fried Fish “Pla Chan,” and Tiramisu. On the second day, we had planned to dine at The Canary, but due to the rain, we decided to order food from there and enjoy it indoors at F All Dining. For our second meal, we indulged in Crispy Pork Belly Sisig, Gambas, Bacon and Waffle, and Crispy Mac and Cheese Balls. Despite the change in plans, both meals were delicious and satisfying.
