More and more hospitality spaces are catering to an adventurous, young and creative market. Instead of posh luxury hotels, young travelers often opt for more intimate quirky boutique spaces that allow them to be themselves and at the same time enjoy their vacation.
One such place is located at the heart of Puerto Princesa in Palawan Canvas Boutique Hotel, a 49-room boutique hotel. And as the name suggests, the place is a canvas for artistic expression. The design with white amidst the greens gives the hotel a very hip and modern look. A closer inspection would show that the design is reminiscent of the stalactites in Palawan’s famous subterranean river.
Going inside the hotel is like walking into a museum, with intricate details of Palawan weaving through the painted walls of the hallways up to the rooms. Painted by Electrolychee Studio’s Marcushiro Nada and Bru Sim the hotel boasts that if these walls could talk, they would tell the story of “Palawan culture, life forms and mythology onto colorful, vibrant reverbs of the island’s most celebrated cultural traits.” Each floor carries the guest to a journey through the Underworld, Under The Sea, Land, Sky and Mountain – each floor aptly labeled and telling the story through the design – which gets the guests excitedly anticipating the actual sights and sceneries awaiting them during their stay in Palawan.
With the intricate exterior and interior, Canvas makes you feel like you’ve gone through a Palawan adventure even if you’ve just reached the hotel. The lively wall art is paired with hanging sculptures, contemporary furniture and fixture all around the hotel.
This boutique hotel is perfect for young couples, professionals and adventurous millennials as it is fun and vibrant at the same time located near the tourist zones. One of the world’s New Seven Wonders the spectacular Puerto Princesa Subterranean River is just one of the places you can visit that is within striking distance of the hotel. Other nearby places to visit are numerous beaches and the mountainside. You can go from trekking to firefly watching or whale shark watching in Honda Bay.
