#PenMoments: Adding Coolness to Dad's Day at The Peninsula Manila's Pen Ultimate Father's Day

Ducati, Indian, BMW, Felipe & Sons, Sapatero, Undone Watches, Teeling Whiskey, Heineken and more, all the good stuff that makes Father's Day so much cooler...


Months after Father's Day, I still can't help but be amazed with The Peninsula Manila's transformation of Father's Day, adding a distinct coolness to that special day honoring dads everywhere. That day, dads were treated to luxurious pampering and eye candy at The Peninsula Manila's Pen Ultimate Father's Day...


The elegant lobby of The Peninsula Manila was the perfect stage for the special day, adding that characteristic elegance that defined the hotel's image for generations. And no, this isn't just any feel-good Father's Day as The Peninsula Manila takes it to a whole new level...


Free haircuts, hair styling, shoe shine services, neck and hand massages, cocktails, bespoke suits and watches and sweet rides were lined up for dads at the Pen Ultimate Father's Day. Now how cool is that?


At the lobby, the sleek and graceful lines of the iconic Italian motorcycle brand infused long dormant testosterone levels. And you'll have to agree, this baby looks fast even when parked. For one day, the Peninsula Manila transports dads back to the time when adventure and limitless possibilities awaited those who dared and reconnect with old dreams. But there's more... 


Outside the lobby, guests can view and admire more of these two-wheeled beasts lined at the entrance like thoroughbreds at the starting gate. And just like that, your heart is pumping with pure adrenaline, and you realize that you're just standing along with the other admirers. The bikes were also offered for sale at special prices, and for dads, this could be a second chance to revive a long-lost passion muddled in the rat race of life.  


You'll also find the revered Indian, America's very first motorcycle company established back in 1901 with its classic and traditional styling infused with contemporary engineering. Dads with their toys for the big boys, and why not. You deserve it.


Pick your color, and ride off into the sunset of your dreams. And don't worry, the Indian has all the horsepower you need. Now, if only we had enough roads in the metro to unleash all that raw power...


And if you're need for speed revolves around the four-wheeled variety, you can indulge in BMW's elegant line of sleek models. The BMW 3, 5, and 7 Series showcased the best of German engineering wrapped in a veil of luxury. Engineering never looked this good. Or sexy.


At The Peninsula Manila, the DNA of elegance flows down to its fleet of limousines powered by BMW. Staying classy is, after all, a part of The Peninsula Manila's experience.


Back inside The Peninsula Manila, the elegant Salon de Ning is transformed into every man's dream, a virtual man cave with free-flowing whiskey, beer, and cocktails.


Have a drink prepared by the master mixologists from the Curator and a hand-rolled cigar to get you in the groove. It's just one of those memorable Pen Moments that make The Peninsula Manila special.


And it's times like this when the classic Old-Fashioned becomes a mandatory part of the experience at the Pen Ultimate Father's Day at The Peninsula Manila.


On deck, haberdashery and grooming services added to the luxurious and well-deserved pampering for dads...


Looking for a new bespoke suit? Felipe & Sons has the right suit with your name on it just for you. Pair it with a special, one-of-a-kind custom-made watch from Undone Watches, and you're all set to paint the town red in style.


And don't forget to complete the look with the right footwear from Sapatero for a totally new you. I'm pretty sure even your better half would love it.


Have a neck and hand massage and a shoe shine, and another Old-Fashioned. It's your day, and a well-deserved treat. Months after, I'm still impressed with The Peninsula Manila's transformation of Father's Day. It's definitely Father's Day with a cool spin. Only at The Peninsula Manila...
