Angeles City moves with the frantic pace of a bustling metropolis. You can sense it with the whizzing jeepneys and cars, people crossing the streets, and the establishments ecstatic with trade all under the bright sun. This is not a surprise for a city that was founded way back in 1756. It breathes with activity harbored through the ages. Its rich history made evident by several ancestral houses that dot its streets. Walking around the city, you’ll get the feeling that you’ve signed up for a history tour as important names and events-Emilio Aguinaldo, World War II, the Katipunan, etc.-pop out from inscriptions and conversations. As the city of angels, you can outline the clouds nonchalantly moving as wings that let the sunlight slip through and bathe pedestrians in all its glory.
At night, the headlights take a turn to become glowing angelic streaks. The bright lights beckon visitors to roam around and confront the night with a festive mood. Being near to the former US Base in Clark gave birth to a denizen of entertainment spots; and it can get tiring sometimes, to be in a place that seems not to sleep or nod to the idea of respite. But here and there, you can find a place that will provide you with an ample amount of it. Located near the main highway, the Century Hotel is just a turn away from the mythic-monolithic PAGCOR Casino. And the hotel’s doors are open for weary travelers of the road and the pursuers of the night’s bounty.
The hotel’s façade greets you without being too imposing. You’ll be ushered in to find a place that has been around for quite some time. For 20 years, the hotel has been consistent in providing its guests with service that borders to the personal to make sure that every stay is meant to reduce stress and induce rest and relaxation. The rooms, specially the contemporary ones, are designed to fit the times and make the guest feel right at home with just the right touch of chic. If you’re hungry, go for their buffet choices which are meticulously prepared by their in-house chef. With Pampanga being hailed as the Culinary Capital of the Philippines, you know you can’t go wrong with the food in front you. Leave your reservations behind and let the linamnam in.
Century also has a pool for those looking for a reprieve from the sun or an invigorating night dip. Function rooms are available for different occasions. Partygoers can also look forward to a night of scintillating beats and grooves courtesy of its neighbor club, Hacienda. Whoever said that Metro Manila is the exclusive territory of the club culture? This club, with some of the DJs imported from the metro, can give some Manila clubs a run for their money.
With all its delightful excesses, Angeles City remains a charmer among Pampanga’s cities and towns. Like the gallery of the ever graceful angels in our imagination, her wings have the ability to titillate the senses with her vast bounty of offerings found in culinary delights, historic sights, and entertainment spots. And when it’s time to go home to a place that is not your home, you now know that getting a decent place to stay does not take a hundred years to find. Just look for the Century.
