A Decade of Service, A New Era of Wellness: Novotel Manila Araneta City Celebrates 10 Years with FIND YOUR BALANCE in Partnership with Wellness Sponsors

As the hospitality industry embraces healthier choices and mindful living, Novotel Manila Araneta City is bringing wellness to the forefront with its first-ever Weekend Wellness Festival: Find Your Balance on October 4, 2025.
