World-class with local flare
Consistent with its design philosophy, the ibis Styles Hotel in Araneta City will display individuality and stylish comfort reflecting the soul and heritage of its location.
A stone-throw away from the historic Smart Araneta Coliseum, the property will showcase the legacy of the country’s sports and entertainment Mecca. Interiors of the hotel will feature designs based on historical events in the coliseum such as the 1975 Thrilla in Manila, Binibining Pilipinas pageants, and some unforgettable sports and music events.
The ibis Styles Hotel will be constructed above the much-awaited expansion of the Gateway Mall, the New Gateway.
It will be conveniently accessible from the metropolis’ main road arteries EDSA, Aurora Boulevard, and P. Tuazon Boulevard in Quezon City.
The ibis Styles Hotel is an exciting addition to the reinvigoration of the Araneta City. Together with The New Gateway, it is the latest addition to the Gateway area that currently features the Novotel Hotel, the Smart Araneta Coliseum, the Gateway Tower Building, and the Parking Garage South Building.
All strategically situated within the Gateway Square, these six structures will be interconnected with other developments in the Araneta City via skybridges and pedestrian malls to offer a complete urban experience – lodging, parking, shopping, dining, and entertainment.
