Manila Hotel

I fly to Philippines frequently to do photographic projects since December 2004, on a monthly basis or more. Everyone told me this hotel whenever I stayed in Manila. And I usually could only get a quick glimpse from my van windows.

My curiosity built up each time visiting the greater Manila area. Until my recent trip I actually stayed in this one. This is the Manila Hotel, next to Roxas Boulevard and Manila Harbor. The modern Manila Hotel offers 750 guest rooms and suites.

General Douglas MacArthur made Manila Hotel his home during his tenure as the Military Advisor to the Commonwealth Government of the Philippines from 1935-1941. President Manuel Quezon hired Paris-trained Filipino architect Andrés Luna de San Pedro, son of painter Juan Luna was commissioned to build a penthouse suite for the General and his family atop the fifth floor of Manila Hotel.
