Some traditions never lose their charmโ€”especially those that invite people to pause, reconnect, and
celebrate the relationships that matter most. This Valentineโ€™s season, Richmonde Hotel Ortigas,
Eastwood Richmonde Hotel, and Richmonde Hotel Iloilo present thoughtfully curated dining
experiences and staycation escapes designed to turn meaningful moments into lasting memories.

Through inspired cuisine, attentive service, and immersive seasonal offerings, Richmonde Hotels
continue to honor the timeless ritual of celebrating love together.

โ€œOccasions like Valentineโ€™s Day remain meaningful because they give us a reason to slow down and
appreciate one another,โ€ shares Cluster General Manager Jun Justo. โ€œAt Richmonde, we see
hospitality as a way to nurture these traditions by creating spaces where genuine connections and
unforgettable experiences naturally come to life.โ€

Richmonde Hotel Ortigas: A Love Story Told Through Filipino Flavors

At Richmonde Hotel Ortigas, romance takes center stage with Ang Kwento ng Pag-Ibig, a pre-
Valentineโ€™s dinner on February 13, 2026 at Richmonde Cafรฉ. The five-course Filipino-themed
degustation captures the evolving stages of love through thoughtful storytelling and elevated
flavors.

The journey begins with cured tuna tartare brightened with calamansi, followed by heritage-inspired
bringhe arancini that blends nostalgia with contemporary flair. A comforting guava-sinigang broth
paired with salmon ravioli brings warmth and depth, while the main course offers a choice between
slow-braised beef adobado or spirit-kissed halabos prawn. The evening concludes on a sweet note
with tibok-tibok panna cotta drizzled with muscovado syrup, complemented by curated wine,
cocktail, or mocktail pairings.

โ€œOur intention was to create a menu that reflects the emotional arc of love,โ€ says Food and
Beverage Manager Ria Rosal. โ€œAnd Filipino flavors provide familiarity, allowing diners to connect
with the experience on a deeper level,โ€ adds Sous Chef Rowell Manahan.
Guests wishing to extend the celebration may take advantage of the โ€œLucky Matchโ€ room promotion
throughout February, blending Valentineโ€™s festivities with the auspicious spirit of Chinese New Year.
On February 13, special bundled packages combine an overnight stay with dinner for two, offering a
seamless romantic escape.

Eastwood Richmonde Hotel: Shared Indulgence for Every Kind of Love

At Eastwood Richmonde Hotel, Valentineโ€™s Day embraces every expression of affection with Relish in
Love, an intimate dinner on February 14, 2026 at Eastwood Cafรฉ+Bar. Designed around the idea of
shared indulgence, the experience features a plated entrรฉe of U.S. prime rib with local sea bass
alongside a buffet selection of fresh salads, roasted garlic and cinnamon pumpkin cream soup,
comforting sides, and decadent desserts. A dedicated kidโ€™s menu, with an option of chicken or
bratwurst served with spaghetti, ensures that celebrations remain inclusive for families as well. Each
meal includes a round of drinks, from house wine to chilled juices and coffee or tea.

โ€œValentineโ€™s celebrations today extend far beyond couples,โ€ shares F&B Manager Dave Banez.

โ€œMany of our guests choose to mark the occasion with family or close friends, so we intentionally
designed a dining experience that embraces every expression of love.โ€ Executive Chef Pete Paluga
adds, โ€œOur aim was to craft a menu that feels inclusive and enjoyable for everyoneโ€”bringing
together beloved date-night classics with familiar favorites to create a meal thatโ€™s both special and
satisfying.โ€

Complementing the dinner is the โ€œLucky in Loveโ€ accommodation package, with overnight rates on
February 14 bundled with the Valentineโ€™s dinner for two. Discounted room offers throughout the
month further enhance the festive mood, blending the spirit of Valentineโ€™s Day with the good
fortune of Lunar New Year.

Richmonde Hotel Iloilo: Ilonggo Warmth and the Spirit of โ€œPalanggaโ€

In Iloilo, Richmonde Hotel Iloilo celebrates the Ilonggo spirit of palanggaโ€”a word that speaks not
only of romance but also of care, warmth, and communityโ€”through Angga, a Valentineโ€™s Day
dinner on February 14, 2026 at The Granary.

The experience highlights generous, shareable dining with buffet-style appetizers, charcuterie,
desserts, unlimited plated selections, bread baskets with assorted spreads, and a glass of wine. โ€œThe
concept of palangga inspired us to create something heartfelt and welcoming,โ€ says Executive Sous
Chef Rey Parreรฑo II. โ€œWe wanted the experience to feel abundant, comforting, and distinctly
Ilonggo.โ€

Guests may continue the celebration with the โ€œSweet Escapeโ€ Valentine room package, available
from February 12 to 18 and inclusive of breakfast, dining credits, and themed amenities. For those
seeking flexibility, the month-long โ€œFeel-Good Februaryโ€ promotion offers additional staycation
options.

Across all properties, Richmonde Hotels blend timeless romantic traditions with contemporary
experiences, inviting guests to celebrate love in its many forms while creating stories worth
remembering long after the season ends.
