MANILA, Philippines — In today’s frantic and frenzied world, one vital asset to have on your side is location. Being at the right place is as important as being at the right time and may very well be the thing that separates a successful venture from a failed one.

This is especially true for establishments offering lodging in and around the city. Aside from the aesthetics and comfort that other hotels provide, being around the right places is almost always a sure way of attracting patrons.

One place that fits the bill when it comes to being in the thick of things is Hotel 878. Located at the heart of Quezon City, this boutique hotel is surrounded by a thriving community in Libis. Just a stone’s throw away from the Eastwood City, the hotel feeds off the pulsating mood of this prominent hot spot.

A number of people places can also be found just a few minutes ride from Hotel 878. Going south, there’s the native inspired market place Tiendesitas and the same C5 Road eventually leads to the thriving Global City in Taguig. Going north, there’s Loyola Heights where noted universities like Ateneo and the University of the Philippines are located. Also along the stretch of Katipunan Avenue are coffee shops, diners and fast food joints where one can just simply hang out and pass the time.

A destination mostly overlooked yet significant nonetheless because of its historic roots is the City of Marikina. Located eastward from Hotel 878, the country’s Shoe Capital offers a look at how the Filipino working class evolved through their food, products and their overall lifestyle. The city also serves as a gateway to the province of Rizal which holds much wonder for the curious and adventurous.

What’s good about Hotel 878 is that the ambience that greets guests after a tiring day is filled with elegance and sophistication. The hotel offers cozy deluxe rooms, spacious two-storey loft units as well as luxurious one-bedroom suites which all employ a classical motif of white and dark wood coupled with earth colored fixtures.

Dining at the hotel also has its perks as Café 878, the hotel’s in-house restaurant, cooks up simple yet hearty sandwiches, pasta and various specialty dishes. Hotel 878 also offers spa treatments and massage services to relax and revitalize guests. It is also a good place for business meetings and special occasions.

Located right smack in the middle of busy Libis, Hotel 878 relishes the idea of being in the thick of things. Surrounded by vibrant scenes and warm people, it serves as an oasis at the heart of the city where spaces become temporary rooms and strangers become lifetime friends.
