Set on a rolling landscape and well manicured gardens, the Legend Hotel Manila is the quintessence of a home away from home. This three (3)-star hotel is 45 minutes away from the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) and can be reached by traversing the famed EDSA, Manila’s main thoroughfare.

Legend Hotel is not your conventional edifice hotel. Its 125 homely rooms, 12 function rooms and 2 ballrooms are spread out in 7 clusters that combine beautifully into one large villa. It is a sprawling mansion. The hotel’s fine wood finish, laced with capiz shells, creates a cozy and casually elegant feel that treats the guests to a unique Filipino-Hispanic experience. It is a refreshing alternative to cosmopolitan accommodations in the very heart of Manila.

Accessibility is a plus for the Legend Hotel. Guests can simply walk out of the lobby and proceed straight into the street. Right across the hotel is Metro Badminton Center, a giant warehouse aptly converted into several badminton and full-size basketball courts for the sports-oriented. One can also flag down a tricycle for a quick ride to EDSA, where public buses and cabs abound. Getting around on foot is also a viable option.

The Robinson’s Pioneer Mall is just around the bend. A quick stroll will bring you to a mall that has a drugstore, supermarket, department store, movie houses, an array of restaurants, coffee shops, electronics — practically anything and everything that you need all within easy reach.

The posh Edsa Shangri La Plaza Mall and The Podium, home to high end shops and restaurants, are just 10 minutes up north by car. A few meters away from Edsa Shangri La Plaza is SM Megamall, one of Asia’s biggest malls. This mammoth mall is a shopper’s haven. It houses 2 adjoining buildings, Mega A and Mega B. It also has an ice skating rink beside the Food Court. The MegaStrip, which straddles Mega A and Mega B, boasts of chic restaurants and bars.

You will find Robinson’s Galleria Shopping Mall and the headquarters of the Asian Development Bank a little farther north. In the same area stands a gigantic bronze statue of the Mother Mary positioned on top of an air-conditioned church. It is a historic marker to commemorate the famous People Power (EDSA) Revolution in 1986 and the indispensable role played by the religious sector in the event.

More shopping? Within a radius of 5 kilometers from the hotel, you will find Ayala Center and the Greenbelt Malls at Makati, Bonifacio High Street and Market!Market! at Fort Bonifacio Global City, the Power Plant Mall at Rockwell Center and the popular Greenhills Shopping Arcade at San Juan.

Manila’s nightlife is also within easy reach from the hotel. “The Shops at Serendra,” Manila’s latest addition to its dynamic night scenes, is just 20 minutes away by car. This retail strip located inside Fort Bonifacio, Global City has 80 establishments strategically located in a 2-level esplanade. It boasts of a beautifully landscaped piazza that offers an international assortment of food, specialty retail and services.

While within Fort Bonifacio, a quick stroll can take you to the famous Embassy Bar and Restaurant. The Embassy is a popular club at The Fort Strip which is frequented by Manila’s elite and high society.

In Makati’s Central Business District, you will find Greenbelt, the nocturnal ingredient to the Ayala Center shopping kingdom. Greenbelt provides a spontaneous and dynamic fusion of leisure and business for Manila’s professionals. Greenbelt is where most of Manila’s professionals cap the night. Home to the finest restaurants and bars, Greenbelt is an events mecca.

For the adventurous spirit, the hotel is a stone’s throw away from a Metro Rail Transit (MRT) station. The MRT will take you through almost the entire length of EDSA and you can have an elevated view of the city, sans the grueling traffic. The MRT is one of three inter-connected commuter rail systems that circle Metro Manila. The rail systems are cheap and airconditioned, but as is true for commuter rush hours, it is best to avoid the MRT in the early morning and evening. This is a jaunt worth taking.

In Manila for business? The Business Center of the Legend Hotel provides full secretariat services and caters to guests who need mailing, facsimile and parcel delivery services. The hotel also provides WiFi internet connection for the techno-savvy.

The gastronomic delights offered by the hotel’s Lola Maria Coffee Shop are a must. Lola Maria Coffee Shop offers the best of Filipino home-grown dishes prepared by no less than Filipino chefs. When in Manila, Lola Maria Coffee Shop is the place to go for a delectable Filipino cuisine experience.

Legend Hotel has a whole lot more to offer: a fitness center, an outdoor pool with a Jacuzzi, a salon and barber shop, 24-hour room service and massage services. Guest rooms are equipped with air conditioning units, cable television, bedside control panel and a minibar. The hotel’s Villa Suites provide guests with a homey setting complete with kitchen facilities.
