Crimson Hotel Filinvest City shows off the best of the Philippines through ‘Live Love Local’

What is your idea of a perfect date? Is it spending time at the cinema? Does it involve extreme sports? Or just a dining experience filled with good food is enough? If the last one is your answer, this destination is the place to be.

Crimson Hotel Filinvest City brings the flavors of the Philippines to its space this February with “Live Love Local.” Created as a way of supporting both domestic tourism and local artisans from a diverse range of industries, the campaign champions local brands by giving them ample exposure to the local market and, in doing so, heightening local awareness regarding the excellence of Filipino products that are certainly world-class.

According to the hotel, this is also Chroma Hospitality’s way of extending a compassionate hand toward provincial communities that were severely impacted by Typhoon Odette towards the end of 2021.

With its partnership with Likhang Munti of the City Government of Muntinlupa, the hotel becomes one great Filipino fair with pop-ups showcasing local products and delicacies. Curious about what they have? Here are our top picks of eats and drinks you shouldn’t miss trying.
