The start of Ber months ushers in the world’s longest Christmas season, Belmont Hotel Manila gives business travelers another reason to pause, recharge, and enjoy a taste of home with Simbang Gabi Favorites, the first offering under its Paskong Pinoy Christmas celebration.
For travelers arriving in Manila for meetings, conferences, or business trips, the holiday experience does not have to wait until the workday is over. Available daily at the hotel driveway alongside the Bike + Brew Kiosk, Simbang Gabi Favorites brings familiar Filipino Christmas treats within easy reach—perfect for a quick afternoon merienda between meetings, a casual catch-up with a client, or a warm take-home treat before heading to the airport.
Located in Newport City with direct access to NAIA Terminal 3 through Runway Manila, Belmont Hotel Manila makes it convenient for business travelers to squeeze in a little Filipino Christmas tradition into their busy itineraries. Instead of searching for a place to experience the season, guests can simply step out of the hotel and enjoy beloved holiday flavors just moments from their room, meeting, or next appointment.
“Paskong Pinoy is about the traditions and flavors that bring people together. Through Simbang Gabi Favorites, we want to bring that familiar Filipino Christmas experience into the moments we share with colleagues, clients, family, and friends,” says Mayann Malapote, Hotel Manager.
For business travelers, a box of bibingka can make an afternoon client meeting a little more Filipino. This can also be enjoyed as pasalubong, giving travelers a simple way to bring a taste of Filipino Christmas to colleagues, loved ones, or business partners back home.
At the heart of the offering are two familiar holiday favorites. Fresh, warm, and lightly charred, bibingka is a traditional rice cake closely associated with Simbang Gabi, while puto bumbong, made with glutinous rice and traditionally served with butter, coconut, and sugar, has long been a favorite of the Filipino Christmas season.
For a contemporary take on the classic, Belmont Hotel Manila also offers Puto Bumbong with Dulce de Leche and Leche Flan, adding a modern indulgence to a well-loved Filipino tradition.
To complete the experience, guests can pair their Christmas favorites with a warm serving of Tsokolate Baterol, a rich Filipino hot chocolate made with tablea, creating a comforting combination for cool evenings and holiday gatherings.
From a casual business meeting and afternoon office merienda to gatherings with family and friends, Simbang Gabi Favoritesare made to be shared. They can also be enjoyed as a pasalubong, offering travelers and guests a simple way to take a taste of Filipino Christmas with them wherever they go.
Simbang Gabi Favorites are available daily from 4:00 PM to 9:00 PM until November 2026, with earlier operating hours during the Simbang Gabi season.
