BGC Hostel & Dorm - Quezon City

Classic, vintage cars reconditioned to their most elegant shape—not only are the physical cars the highlight of this particular museum. These vehicles are special in themselves for they were made to transport some of the most powerful people in Philippine history. The museum features 12 beautiful presidential cars as well as other vehicles used by historical personalities such as first lady Imelda Marcos, World War II General Douglas MacArthur, and Malolos constitution author Leon Apacible. Managed by the National Historical Commission of the Philippines (NHCP), the museum was built to share the narrative of past Philippine presidents through these interesting and intriguing artifacts. No other place will you see so many vintage cars in the city than in the Presidential Car Museum!

The oldest museum in the Philippines, UST Museum owns the first collection of artefacts in the country, dating to as far back as 1682. A jack of all trades, it houses a bit of everything: botanical, zoological, religious, ethnological, cultural, and artistic. Originally called "Gabinete de Fisica" in the late 16th century, the UST Museum used to be a museum specializing in natural history only. Today, not only does the museum features artefacts endemic to the Philippines, it has also expanded to accommodate religious images, visual arts and paintings, ethnography, and memorabilia, to name a few. Two of the museum's intriguing items include the Sculpture of the Crucified Christ, which was carved from an elephant tusk, and the museum's most priceless exhibit "The Portrait of a Young Balinese Girl" by Italian sensualist artist Romualdo Locatelli.

San Sebastian Church is the only neo-Gothic church in Asia made entirely of prefabricated steel. The steel structure was crafted in Belgium and was transported in eight different shipments to the Philippines. In 1891, the church was assembled and completed, its steel frame filled with mixed sand, gravel, and cement. Inside, the church is elaborate with stained glass windows depicting the passion of the Christ. The church's pointed arches and washed out paintings of nuns, angels, and saints evoke feelings of terror and fright. Quirky to its design, however, is its altar, which is made of seashells.

It was Mother Nature herself who set the standard in luxurious homes—a cocoon. A sanctuary that covers you in softness. 
A home, which though temporary, envelopes you in warmth. 
A nesting place where you can safely let nature take its course and you come out renewed and invigorated. 
It is luxury that is relaxing and serene, rather than decadent and indulgent. 
It is pleasure that is refined and subdued, rather than opulent.

At Cocoon Boutique Hotel in Quezon City, we took our cue from Mother Nature herself and created our own standard of green luxury. Pleasurable serenity is replicated in the sleep and bath experience we offer our guests. Metamorphosis is made possible with in-hotel facilities where the body is refreshed (aesthetic clinic), rejuvenated (spa & salon), and nourished (specialty restaurants). And warmth and sunshine are mirrored in the smiles of our staff and their discreet way of attending to your every need.

This is luxury the way Mother Nature would have intended it.
