Hilton raises the glass to piña colada


Hilton Hotels in the Philippines is set to take the country by storm this October, as they proudly celebrate their historical connection to the world-famous Piña Colada cocktail. Originating in 1954 at Caribe Hilton in Puerto Rico, thanks to the ingenuity of bartender Ramon “Monchito” Marrero, Hilton Hotels showcases its pioneering spirit in the hospitality industry.

Throughout the month of October, Hilton Hotels across the Philippines are inviting guests to savor the beloved Piña Colada in its true glory. From the luxurious Conrad Manila to the vibrant Hilton Manila and the serene Hilton Clark Sun Valley Resort, each property has curated unique experiences to honor the iconic drink.

For an upscale and immersive experience, Conrad Manila offers a variety of ways to enjoy the classic Piña Colada and its unique variations. At C Lounge, the hotel’s bar overlooking the picturesque Manila Bay, guests can immerse themselves in the refined ambiance of Piña Colada Nights. Here, patrons can indulge in the timeless Piña Colada or savor the hotel’s inventive twist on this iconic cocktail at P450, all while swaying to the rhythmic beats of Latin music and other genres performed live by a live band every Monday to Thursday from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m.

Guests at Conrad Manila can savor the beloved Piña Colada in its true glory while C Lounge also offers a Piña Colada-themed Afternoon Tea. 

C Lounge also offers a Piña Colada-themed Afternoon Tea at P2,688 per set featuring a special array of sweet and savory treats partnered with coffee, tea, or Pina Colada – a nod to this beloved beverage. Additionally, guests seeking a non-alcoholic option can relish the refreshing flavors of the Virgin Piña Colada at P330.

In line with Hilton’s commitment to sustainability, an eco-friendly initiative takes center stage at C Lounge as all alcoholic orders of the celebrated cocktail are thoughtfully served in coconut shells, ensuring that the hotel not only provides an exquisite experience but also contributes to a greener, more eco-conscious future. C Lounge is open daily from 11 a.m. to 12 m.n.

Over at Hilton Manila, guests are invited to step into the shoes of a mixologist with their engaging and educational Piña Colada experience – a Make Your Own Cocktail promotion at the Freestyle pool bar for only P650 per drink. Available all Fridays to Saturdays of October, from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m., Piña Colada aficionados have the unique opportunity to learn the art of crafting their very own refreshing drink while soaking in the breathtaking view of the hotel’s iconic swimming pool, creating an atmosphere infused with a tropical zest.

For those seeking the full Piña Colada experience without the DIY aspect, the drink is also available for order from their extensive cocktail menu. To align with Hilton’s strong commitment to sustainability, the hotel presents this delectable concoction in innovative pineapple shells, elevating not only the taste but also the visual appeal of this beloved cocktail. It’s an immersive journey into the world of Pina Colada, where creativity and sustainability meet to deliver an unforgettable experience.

In the heart of Pampanga, Hilton Clark Sun Valley Resort extends a warm invitation to its guests to savor the exquisite taste of Hilton’s famous Piña Colada at Treat, the hotel’s inviting and sophisticated bar for only P465. With its elegant decor and relaxing atmosphere, guests can unwind and immerse themselves in the rich flavors of the celebrated cocktail, expertly crafted by the resort’s skilled bartenders. Treat is open to welcome guests from Monday to Friday between 3 p.m. – 11 p.m., and Saturday to Sunday from 12 p.m. to 11 p.m.

In an unwavering commitment to environmental stewardship, all Hilton Hotels in the Philippines taking part in this promotion have embraced sustainability as a core principle. They conscientiously source their ingredients locally, fostering partnerships with nearby farmers and communities to reduce their carbon footprint and promote economic growth in the Philippines.
