F.R.I.E.N.D.S Fans: Here’s A Hotel in Bacolod We Bet You’ll Relish

You can find iconic, picture-worthy spots in the hotel’s themed lobby. One is the cafe, Central Park Cafe, inspired by the hit sitcom Friends; you’ll feel like you’re on the set when you sit by the couch and take a selfie. Aside from the overwhelming replica of the cafe, you can also take a picture by the fountain you can spot during the Friends’ show intro.

Another fun fact is that the cafe is the only Warner Brothers licensed cafe outside the United States. However, the area doesn’t serve coffee, but a picture spot by the lobby only. The humble hotel stayed true to its theme; that’s why Friends fans will surely be ecstatic when they decide to celebrate the holiday season and book their staycation here.

Another familiar spot you have probably seen numerous times from the show is Monica’s apartment’s iconic purple door. The hotel owners admitted to being avid fans of the show, inspiring them to resemble the establishment’s theme from the hit 90’s sitcom.

Crowd-favorite and the top attraction of the hotel is the aesthetically designed indoor pool with a giant Friends logo on the bricked wall, sided by a showering fountain, with international-themed picture frames, and excellent lighting. If you have a Friends-themed party on your Christmas celebrations, then you’ll save up on additional decorations because the interiors are serving it already! Yup, apart from relishing the vibe, the place is a perfect staycation with a private pool, too!

Moreso, Cha Thai is located beside the gate to serve you affordable and delicious food for dining options.
