You Can Spend a Relaxing Valentine’s Day Weekend with Your Fur Babies at This Hotel
Let’s face it, people. Next to our spouse or children, it’s our pets who hold our attention the most. For the unmarried and childless, even more so—aren’t those cuddles just so heart melting?
A survey in January 2023 by the Worldpanel Division of Kantar Philippines found that 94 percent of Filipino households own a pet. Of that number, 68 percent owned dogs, and 42 percent owned cats. The percentages exceed over 100 percent because many Filipino households actually own more than one type of pet. For lower-income households for instance, aside from owning a dog, they also take care of chickens, pigs, goats, etc (although technically, these may be considered livestock to raise, not pets).
Two-bedroom suite at Holiday Inn Manila Galleria
Our furbabies are with us almost 24/7—no private bathroom time, sorry Daddy!—but they are family, good buddies, and our forever partners in crime. This Valentine’s Day, wouldn’t it be a great idea to spend a lazy, languorous weekend in a comfy bed, rewatching “Pets” with Cookie for the nth time, or just chilling by the pool, while beside us, Jethro warms himself under the sun?

Pet-Friendly Valentine's Weekend at Holiday Inn & Suites Manila Galleria
Just in time for Valentine's Day, Holiday Inn & Suites Manila Galleria is rolling out the red carpet for our four-legged family members with the launch of its Pet-Friendly Staycation Campaign. Starting February 14, pet parents can share the love with their furry companions in a comfortable and welcoming hotel environment.
In an interview, hotel general manager Patria Puyat, herself a pet parent to bushy-tailed golden retriever Yoshi, said, “We recognize the growing demand for pet-friendly travel, so at Holiday Inn Manila Galleria, we’re making select Suites available for guests checking in with their beloved dogs and cats.”
She added, “To ensure a delightful stay with us, pets will be welcomed with a special in-room amenity kit, available upon request, including a cozy pet bed, food and water bowls, and delicious treats.”
Hotel staff can also walk guests’ furry companions, while an in-room dining pet menu are available with an additional charge.
“At Holiday Inn Manila Galleria, we believe that pets are part of the family, and they deserve to be treated with gentle kindness. With this project, we are excited to provide a seamless and enjoyable experience for pet owners and their furry friends,” Puyat added.

Pet-less guests needn’t be worried about being disturbed by the furry guests, she assured. To maintain a delightful stay for all guests, the hotel has set clear pet policies, ensuring a safe and comfortable environment. A nightly pet fee will apply to cover deep cleaning and maintenance, ensuring a fresh space for every guest.
Puyat also disclosed that a small pet enclosure will be constructed near the hotel pool so fur parents can still have some “me time” swimming or getting a tan, while still keeping a watchful eye on their babies.
Holiday Inn & Suites Manila Galleria continues to be a top choice for travelers with its convenient central location, standing tall along ADB Ave., near the historic corner of Edsa and Ortigas. Its renovation completed in 2024, the hotel has an extensive array of 36 spacious suites—a distinct feature in the Ortigas area, and a unique proposition for families, business travelers, and leisure guests.
The hotel is directly connected to popular mall Robinsons Galleria, which offers guests convenient shopping, dining, and entertainment options.
