Upon entering the lobby, you’ll find Hue even more attractive with its pristine, clean interiors that make it seem open and approachable. Notice all the wooden accents and native designs—all locally sourced from Palawan craftspeople. From the rooms to the services provided, it won’t be lost on Hue Hotels Puerto Princesa’s patrons that the owners intended for this property to be the perfect blend of Palawan’s lush environment, packaged in a contemporary, culturally-significant way. That’s why the owners of Hue Hotel call it a “GLOCAL” hotel, a.k.a. Global + Local!

Hue Hotels and Resorts Puerto Princesa has three types of rooms: Deluxe, Suite, and Family.

You’ll notice a couple of things about your room, as well. - The artwork and décor are all native-inspired, and were most likely crafted by the local Palawan craftsmen. - The floor leading to the residences also look like banderitas.

All in all, the rooms are well-lit, generally clean and spacious, and have great wi-fi connection. Depending on the room, you will also find plenty of power outlets so you won’t have a problem charging gadgets! Plus, if you get the Suite, you may even find the best of all hotel luxuries—a bathtub with a TV mounted on the wall! Who’s up for a bubble bath while watching your favorite TV show?

Another thing that should be of note is that all the hotel rooms have their own room service button, eliminating the need for a room service card that you hang by the doorknob. Anytime you need the room cleaned even if you won’t be leaving the property can be done in a press of a button!

And in line with the hotel’s pro-green advocacy, all rooms will get their complimentary water in a glass bottle, which can be refilled any time. Book Hue Hotels and Resorts Puerto Princesa here

Two of the best attractions of Hue Hotels & Resorts Puerto Princesa involve the very top of the building—see, the roof deck and the pool. The roof deck functions as its own social hub, providing food, drinks, and a taste of the nightlife without ever having to leave the property.

Along with it is arguably Hue Hotel's most Instagram-friendly spot, the pool. It’s clear on one side, so you can actually see it from down below the entrance. The floor of the pool has colorful tiles, mimicking the look of banig, and depending on the time of day, the sunlight casts a completely different light upon the water! It almost looks like a giant mosaic, or kaleidoscope.

If you want extra pampering, explore Hue’s AMIHAN hotel spa, which includes a traditional body massage that’s definitely worth mentioning. For a completely warm and cozy foodie experience, which looks definitively millennial without losing its local touch, go and dine at Matiz Restro and Tapas Bar, headed by Chef Gabby Pratz. It has wooden interiors that give out an urban chic. The interior of the restaurant is surrounded with big, wide, open windows that encourage natural lighting, while the light fixtures also look stylish.

Although your room could have the buffet breakfast included with the booking, you can eat here without being a guest. Try the thrice-cooked bagnet, sinigang, tinapa, pinakbet, sisig, and even the more interesting takes on classic food. Ever cashew kare-kare, or ginataan santol?

At night, visit the bar on the roof deck, and avail of Liquid Maestro Kalel’s cocktail creations. Hue’s adult drinks menu are only available past midnight.

This design-forward hotel isn’t just bragging about its vibrant aesthetics. With 122 rooms, Hue Hotel doesn’t fail to deliver on its amenities and comforts. For one, no matter what room you book, you have access to free airport transfers (to and fro), which only need to be arranged with the front desk in advance. Its location is also handy, as it sits next to a Robinsons mall, and is close to a private hospital for any contingencies that could occur during your vacation. People have also said that the hotel remains quiet after-hours, despite being situated near a road.

When you come to check-in, you will be handed a free welcome drink (either calamansi or lemongrass!) with a hand towel to help you freshen up. While the clerks fix your paperwork, notice some of the hotel’s artwork on the lobby’s wall, inspired by the bird balinsasayaw, found in Puerto Princesa’s limestone cliffs. The floors were also made to resemble something familiar to our local community! Meanwhile, if you’re interested in Hue Hotel as a barkada or company, or even a wedding reception, they have a Ballroom function room that can fit 300 people. Smaller conference rooms can fit 50-70 people. The Fitness Center is also free for guests, and comes complete with any workout equipment you may need to stay on top of your gains!

According to an interview with a local newspaper, management has said that they made Hue to create a “new shade to Puerto Princesa’s tourism experience.” Dennis Lee, one of the proprietors of Hue, said that their vision for the hotel is on the concept of bringing the beach to the city!

Hue Hotel Puerto Princesa is located at Km. 3, North Road, Barangay San Manuel, Palawan Island, 5300. This is a 15-minute drive from the PPS airport, and airport shuttles are available upon request.
