Known for its colorful interiors, playful atmosphere, and family-friendly hospitality, the hotel is making city getaways even more endearing with new iBear-themed experiences, from cozy family staycations and birthday parties to adorable souvenirs guests can bring home.
For families looking for a delightful escape without leaving the city, the A Beary Cozy Staycay package transforms an ordinary overnight visit into a charming retreat.

Priced at P11,499 nett per night, the package includes an overnight stay, buffet breakfast at strEATs for two adults and two children aged 12 and below, and an exclusive iBear-themed welcome gift.
The experience extends beyond the guest room with A Beary Fun Birthday Bash, giving young celebrants a chance to enjoy their special day with games, activities, and a 30-minute appearance by iBear.

Starting at P13,000 nett for the birthday theme add-on, the celebration includes a party host, two-hour venue use, basic lights and sound, themed party favors, and game prizes. Children’s meal packages start at P549 per child, while group dining packages for 10 guests start at P8,999.
Families booking an iBear-themed birthday celebration for at least 50 guaranteed guests also receive a complimentary overnight stay in the themed room, with breakfast for two.

For those who want to take home a reminder of their visit, the new iBear Collection by STYLESsentials features collectible mugs, tote bags, and cuddly pillows priced from P449 to P549. The merchandise is available daily at the hotel Front Desk on Level 4.
“iBear reflects the playful spirit of ibis Styles Manila and the kind of experiences we want families to enjoy together,” said Therese Galindo, Resident Manager of ibis Styles Manila Araneta City.
Beyond the themed rooms and celebrations, the appeal of ibis Styles lies in turning an ordinary hotel visit into a more personal experience. Whether it is sharing breakfast, celebrating a birthday, or simply enjoying a relaxing weekend together, the hotel gives families more reasons to appreciate the beauty of spending quality time with one another.
And sometimes, the most memorable staycations are not about traveling far, but about finding a welcoming place where even the smallest moments feel special.
