This rebranded hotel on Roxas Boulevard promises to be a paradise for everyone, foodie or not.

The online slang dictionary describes Zen as to be at peace back to wholeness, so to speak. That was exactly how we felt at the end of the day-long opening festivities at the rebranded Hotel Jen, formerly the Shangri-La Traders Hotel on Roxas Boulevard, across the

Cultural Center of the Philippines.

Conveniences, Freebies

We were in a state of bliss, languishing over huge mugs of freshly brewed coffee, which we made ourselves using the Latitude

Restaurants brand new, high end coffee machines. We relaxed, undisturbed by gadgets, which were silently sitting at the restaurants charging stations, free of charge.

The gourmet coffee machines and charging stations are just two of the innovations that make Jen stand out from other hotels. Also notable are the vending machines (at the lobby and coffee shop) for soft drinks, juices, and bottled water, at prices lower than those of 7-11 and other convenience stores. We stocked up with a few bottles for the long ride to our next interview.
