Okay, youâve finally checked in at the best hotel in Ortigas, Astoria Plaza, and have done the mandatory Instagram photo shoots at Café Astoria and by the swimming pool. So now, all thatâs left to do is to put those feet up, relax, and rest inside your spacious room.
But youâre not tired and the dayâs far from over. You look out the window and see most of the city still buzzing with activity. Where to go and what to do, you wonder?
Well, today is your lucky day! We have roamed the amazing area of Ortigas just to make this awesome list of activities thatâs sure to bring out the explorer in you.
Places to go!
If mall hoppingâs your game, then we have got the names. Greenfield District and Shangri-La Plaza are just walking distance from Astoria Plaza. If you are feeling dedicated, then the semi-long walk to SM Megamall or Robinsons Galleria will be worth your time and shopping money. There are malls that cater to specific customer needs too, like The Podium. There, youâll see branded products not available elsewhere. If walking is not your cup of tea, no worries! There are shuttles, taxis, and other transportation that can take you to nearby malls!
The sports enthusiast in you may be raring for a workout, so we have a suggestion you may want to try. For golf lovers, check out City Golf Driving Range. It is just past Ortigas at the CW Home Depot compound. If you want to practice that swing of yours, then take the trip.
It is rare to find peace and quiet in the city, but weâd suggest looking up Ortigas Park. Located just between Emerald Avenue and Ruby Road, Ortigas Park is a good place for you to just sit down and read a book.
Foodie Paradise
With the right amount of money, youâll never go hungry. Ortigas alone is home to hundreds of restaurants. And if you know where to look, you may also find quaint and inexpensive food joints. Take the Banchetto-Ortigas Center Weekend Market for example. This foodie affair happens on weekends and youâll get to see tent after tent containing treats for the hungry soul.
But as they say, why go far if you already have the best surrounding you? Astoria Plaza is home to the best bibingka, hot and lovingly served at Café Astoria. The caféâs buffet is also filling so you no longer need to pick what to eat – just have a taste of everything! If youâre craving for authentic Japanese cuisine, then check out Minami Saki by Astoria. Reading the menu alone is sure to build up an appetite, and we assure you, every presentation is an art form worthy of appreciation.
The Nightlife

Whoever you are with, the best place to drink and have a good time near Astoria Plaza would be Metrowalk – home to just about every bar and KTV in the Ortigas area.
