Hive Hotel : another Green but Chic Hotel

The Cocoon Boutique became my favorite hotel because of its advocacy to Greenery.  When I entered The Hive Hotel, it really feels like the Cocoon Hotel.  The receptionist told me that this is their second hotel after Cocoon.

It is a three (3) star hotel with 51 rooms.  They describe the hotel as compact, comfortable and complete while being one with nature.

I am so lucky to have a Sneak Peek stay at The Hive. Some services, areas, facilities are soon to be launched.

A little story about Hive (as I've read in their info pamphlets):
A passion for people, an imaginative sense of fun, a desire for nurturing the environment - these are the elements that paved the way for the birth of Hive Hotel. The owners Atty Boy and Gigi Vinzon combined their innovative spirit and their commitment to providing sustainable accommodations to create a refreshing hotel experience for guests with modern needs.  Their vision resulted to a distinctive modern retro hotel that promises an unforgettable stay.

The Hive Hotel & Convention Place is exactly located at
#68 Scout Tuason corner Scout Madrinan Streets,
Barangay South Triangle, Quezon City 1103, Philippines.

Travel back in time as you find your retro groove at the hotel's in-house bar. This is where the worlds of good food and good music collide.  Enjoy a friendly ambiance, delightful conversations and unparalleled service in this charming little folk bar.

I have no photos of My Bro's Mustache, hopefully when I get back here. =)
