Following the tour, I was treated to a quick pampering session at the Botanica Salon & Spa on Level 2. I enjoyed a soothing foot massage that nearly sent me to dreamland. It was exactly what I needed to unwind and recharge, with the tranquil atmosphere and a wide view of the streets of BGC and SM Aura.

Dining at Origine, the hotel’s restaurant, was one of the highlights of my stay. The Spanish cuisine was simply exquisite! Each dish burst with flavor, and I found myself savoring every bite. Imagine enjoying two kinds of paella, steak, and steamed fish in one sitting! I can't believe how it all fit in my belly.
