Manila Hotel

 

"It's a good story if it's like Manila Hotel"    - Ernest Hemingway

     From public figures to presidents, from royalty to rockstars, the Manila Hotel has been a home away from home to some of the most prominent people in history. Since first opening its doors in 1912, the Manila Hotel has been known as the "Address of Prestige" to the most distinguished and discriminating guests such as Gen. Douglas MacArthur, President Dwight Eisenhower, Emperor Akihito of Japan, His Royal Highness Prince Charles, actor Marlon Brando and world-renowned writer Ernest Hemingway just to name a few. Already dubbed as the national landmark at the heart of Manila, no other hotel can boast of being such a significant witness to Philippines history.

     Even at the turn of the century, the Manila Hotel's story and tradition of unparalleled service goes on, married with genuine Philippines hospitality. It continues to stand proud, meeting the challenges of today's discriminating guests and showcasing only the best that the Philippines has to offer.
