Unlike usual concert venues in Metro Manila like the MOA Arena and Smart Araneta Coliseum, the Philippine Arena in Bulacan has no option for mass public transportation such as Grab, Angkas, jeepneys, or trains, which makes getting there already a big hurdle for most attendees. That is why it is highly recommended you figure out your mode of transportation weeks or even a month before the concert. And if you’re from outside Metro Manila, you may want to consider booking a hotel. Below are the 7 places near the Philippine Arena that you can book for concerts.

Places Near the Philippine Arena you can book:
1. Seda Verdis North – This one is the nearest hotel in the Philippine Arena. The Live Nation PH’s shuttle services pick up in the North is beside this hotel. And if you have a car, it only takes a 15-30 minute drive (depending on the traffic). The staff is friendly and the place is really beautiful. It is pricey but worth it. Some artists (I will not name who) stayed here for their concert.
2. Hotel DreamWorld North Edsa – This is just across Seda Verdis North, near SM North EDSA. It is much more affordable than Seda but you have to U-Turn in EDSA when you drive going to the PH Arena or book a Grab to the shuttle service pick-up point.
3. Hop Inn Hotel Tomas Morato Quezon City – This is only around 5-10 minutes away from the Seda Verdis North where the shuttle service pick-up is located. This place is also affordable so you better hurry because they can get fully booked fast.
If you have a car and at least a group of 4, below are AirBnB accommodations with great reviews you can book:
4. Casa Bisita Private Pool Villa – It is very hot and humid in the venue, after a fun yet tiring concert, you may want to dip in the pool of this beautiful villa. It is less than an hour from Metro Manila and near Philippine Arena.
5. Aesthetic Living by P&R at SMDC Cheer Residences – If you’re not a big group, you might consider a condotel. They also have a pool and the room is aesthetic, perfect for Instagram and TikTok posts.
6. SMDC Cheer Residences Condo Beside SM Marilao – Another condo in Marilao but this one is near SM Mall where you can easily buy food and other stuff you need.
7. Casa Elia at SMDC Cheer Residences – Another in the same condo building and also an aesthetic accommodation.
