The grande-dame. Is still the grand-dame of Manila in pre-war tradition. From tea in the lobby to sextet in the lobby at night, chocolates delivered to the room in the afternoon, it fights a lone battle to offer a gracious stay. If ambiance is your thing, this is your place.
Still, amenities are modern, from CR to mini-fridge and safe, bed was comfortable, HVAC functioned well, and there was plenty of hot water. Stay during the Traslacion of El Nazareno made this stay unique!
