Love is celebrated 365 days a year, but The Peninsula Manila wants the fire to burn extra bright on Valentine’s Day as it helps set the mood for couples to express their amour while indulging in romantic delights that range from listening to stage and recording star Bituin Escalante croon love songs at The Lobby, The Peninsula Strings serenading guests in Old Manila, spending the night sipping wine in beautiful guestrooms, delighting in intimate dinners in any of The Peninsula Manila’s legendary restaurants, luxuriating in relaxing massages with a loved one at The Peninsula Spa, nibbling on sweet delights from The Peninsula Boutique, or showering that special someone with blooms from The Flower Shop.

THE LOBBY

It is said that the closer one’s proximity to fire, the higher the chances of stoking the flames of love. So it follows that spoiling your date with a Three-course Dinner under The Lobby’s iconic “Sunburst” sculpture is the perfect recipe for an all-consuming conflagration.

P3,800 with a flute of Champagne or P3,200 per adult (inclusive of taxes) for a three-course dinner menu.

Multi-awarded stage and recording star Bituin Escalante will perform live at The Lobby at 8:00 pm.

All ladies dining at The Lobby on Valentine’s Day will receive a delicious bar of Auro Chocolate and a beautiful Peninsula long-stemmed red rose to take home.

OLD MANILA

All five senses will delight in Old Manila Chef de Cuisine Allan Briones’ sensory Four-course Valentine’s Dinner that will have taste buds tingling with delight on February 14.

Paired with a glass of Champagne at P5,200 or simply by itself at P4,500 (inclusive of taxes), this is one Valentine’s dinner that is not to be missed.

The Peninsula Strings will play love songs from the Great Filipino and American Songbook at 8:00 pm.

All ladies dining in Old Manila on Valentine’s Day will receive a delicious bar of Auro Chocolate and a beautiful Peninsula long-stemmed red rose to take home.

ESCOLTA

One need look no further than Chef Jobellyn Barbasa’s buffet specials in Escolta to find the quickest and most delicious way to your lover’s heart.  She suggests celebrating Valentine’s Day with the most sensual Seafood Dinner Buffet priced at P3,200, for adults, and P1,900, for children (inclusive of taxes).

If you want to spoil your date a wee bit more, ply them with Champagne and fine wine. They’re sure to appreciate your extravagant declaration of love (no matter the expense).

All ladies dining in Escolta on Valentine’s Day will receive a delicious bar of Auro Chocolate and a beautiful Peninsula long-stemmed red rose to take home.

SPICES

Spices will also be sharing the love on February 14 with the exotic flavors of India, Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, and Vietnam where lovers can choose from an à la carte menu selection for a minimum consumable of P1,200 (exclusive of taxes).

All ladies dining in Spices will receive a beautiful Peninsula long-stemmed red rose to take home with them.

“ROMANTIC RENDEZVOUS” ROOM PACKAGE

Known for being adept at amour, The Peninsula Manila has created an irresistible staycation experience from February 11 to 28 with a Romantic Rendezvous  room package.

Sometimes an overnight stay at The Peninsula Manila is all you need to keep the fires of love burning, BUT if along with it you enjoy a P3,000 dining credit at The Lobby, Spices, Escolta, the Pool Snack Bar or Old Manila (except from February 14 to 17 when love is expressed solely in the privacy of one’s room with en suite Room Service), a lovely bottle of wine along with a customized Valentine’s welcome amenity, and complimentary breakfast buffet for two adults and two children under six, then your love will never have an ending (as author Richard Bach was wont to say.)

Room rates start at P11,000 (inclusive of taxes) for a Superior Room.
