About Us
Kalibo’s 1st Design Hotel
Recognizing the rise of budget travel in the Philippines in the past years, the GQ Plaza strikes a good balance of comfort and affordability. Guests will feel right at home in their beds while also feeling a sense of adventure in the rooms that feature local tourist destinations in Aklan such as Bakhawan Eco Park, Hinugtan Beach, Liktinon White Rocks, and Afga Wave Rock Formation. Guests may also delight in international and Filipino breakfast on the roof deck overlooking the festivities of the town plaza.
The hotel’s design pays homage to the era that made commercial travel possible. Its exteriors and interiors draw inspiration from the industrial revolution while still evoking a sense of modernity.
Adorning the interiors of the hotel are obra maestras of National Artists Arturo Luz, Ben Cabrera, and the likes of Kenneth Cobonpue, Vito Selma, Ann Pamintuan, Schema, Benjie Reyes and other well-known furniture designers. Adding to the Filipino spirit imbibed by these nationally and globally-renowned artists are handicrafts and piña cloth from the Dela Cruz House of Piña, a vanguard of Aklanon cultural heritage, which also exports its products internationally.
Responsible Business
As part of our efforts in sustainability, we harvest rainwater for the bathroom and use inverter type heaters to recycle cold air and pump it into the hallways, thereby decreasing our carbon footprint. We commit to low energy consumption by illuminating the rooms with LED lights and installing inverter type air conditioners. The Roofdeck’s positioning follows the sun path, in preparation for future implementation of solar power systems.
