What to expect at Solaire North in Quezon City

MANILA, Philippines – Stepping into the new Solaire Resort North in Quezon City feels like visiting the more localized yet still upscale sequel to Solaire Entertainment City’s Pasay flagship branch. The first five-star, 38-storey luxury integrated resort in Quezon City opened in May, 11 years after its predecessor. At Solaire North, the brand’s familiar luxury is coupled with a more modern yet laidback Filipino flair.

Solaire North carves out its own identity with contemporary design touches, a few North-exclusive dining options, and new family-friendly leisure experiences across the 1.5-hectare estate. Nowhere to go but up The journey begins at Solaire North’s grand lobby – spacious, well-lit, and welcoming – with a stunning centerpiece sculpture at the center: “The Mangrove” by Nikolas Weinstein.

You can’t miss it; it even comes with a lights and sounds show every few minutes. THE MANGROVE AT THE LOBBY. Steph Arnaldo/Rappler The lobby houses the front desk, couches for waiting, and a quaint café by the entrance.

Local artworks and curated pieces adorn the walls. The second level houses a public casino, as well as Chinese dining options such as Lucky Noodles, Red Lantern, and Dragon Bar. Solaire North’s casino extends up to the third level, which is also where the expansive Food Court can be found – bigger and more minimalist than its Pasay counterpart.
