At the heart of downtown Manila stands tall this building which boasts service and class—the Manila Pavilion Hotel. This four (4)-star hotel stands just opposite the Rizal National Park and in some way is a reflection of the country’s wealthy history and sense of culture.

Just 11 kilometers away from the Ninoy Aquino International Airport, this first class hotel has all the services a discerning and business minded guest shall ever come to need. All of its 549 guestrooms come with the complete range of amenities for one to forget and getaway from the hustle and bustles of metropolitan living. Plush decorations furnish every room along with air conditioning, a cable/satellite TV, in-room safe, a well-stocked mini bar, telephone, refrigerator, bathroom/ensuite, pay-per-view movies and even tea and coffee making facilities. Guests can choose between Standard and Superior Rooms, the latter having a dining room.

These rooms include 32 suites and an Executive Floor which features 22 rooms which, aside for the abovementioned basic amenities, also comes with a fax machine and a 24-hour personalized butler service. The floor is aptly named as any business executive staying at the Manila Pavilion Hotel would want to keep everything on hand. The hotel thinks of these as ways to relax your bodies and mind. Guests who check in at the Executive Floor would find working easier as they enjoy a panoramic view of the city of Manila from their windows.

Aside from its 24-hour room service, which serves both hot and cold snacks, the Manila Pavilion is not short of the best restaurants which cater to almost any taste bud’s desires. Seasons Café serves the best and most sumptuous Western dishes while the Rotisserie Restaurant can concoct the best grilled Continental, classic and creative cuisine in style. For light dishes and a variety of snacks and cocktails, the Boulvar with its international menu can offer it to you.

If these are not enough for you and you want specific tastes, then go to the following eating places: if you’re aching for some Sinigang, Kare-Kare, Dinuguan and other Filipino delicacies, then trod to Café Coquilla which serves mouthwatering Filipino dishes side by side with an International buffet. If you want some Chinese food and other Oriental fine dining, the Pavilion Court, forerunner of elegant fine dining, would deliver that to you with unmatched class and style. For drinks and snacks, the Poolside Terrace is at your disposal along with the Patisserie for some slices of delectable cakes, sweets and pastries. But for the ultimate dining experience combined with stylish music, look no further, the Music Room, with its bar and diner is the place to be.

But let not these fool you. Although the Manila Pavilion Hotel Manila in itself is a site to behold, one would do well not to disregard the scenic wonders in the vicinity.

Opposite the hotel would be the Rizal National Park where the country’s National Hero, Dr. Jose Rizal was martyred. If one would venture further, one would reach the old walls of Intramuros. These massive mossy walls house the some of the country’s oldest and most beautiful churches like the Manila Cathedral Church, the seat of Roman Catholicism in the country, San Agustin Church and not to mention priceless historical sites like the Fort Santiago where Dr. Rizal spent the last days of his life.

Just a few minutes from the hotel is the place every business executive should know. After having hosted most of the country’s premier local and international events, the Philippine International Convention Center (PICC) is just a stone’s throw away from the hotel making the Manila Pavilion the perfect hotel to choose as one comes for a conference or event.

A short walk from the PICC is the country’s center of art and culture. The Cultural Center of the Philippines (CCP) hosts the country’s most famous film festivals, theatre productions and art exhibits. An aesthete would enjoy a literary evening in this architectural feat.

But if you’re not the artistic type of person, then just cross the street from CCP and you’ll find yourself at the perfect hangout by the bay—Harbor View Square. Sip coffee at Starbucks or drink San Miguel at Dencio’s, this is the perfect place to hang out and breathe in the sea after a hard days work.

And speaking of work, do not let these sites distract you. Concentrate on your work with Manila Pavilion’s stellar Business Center complete with facsimile, computers with high-speed internet connection and photocopying and secretarial services. But if you want a larger area for conventions and seminars, the Manila Pavilion has seven function rooms ready to sit 1000 people for conventions, seminars and even intimate family banquets. Let the hotel be a part of your life’s most important and intimate moments.

The Manila Pavilion also offers a variation for the working executive and for the common guest as well. Hotel facilities include a spa, where one could reinvigorate their bodies, a gymnasium, where fitness buffs can keep up with their routine, or better yet to keep fit, take a dip in our indoor swimming pool which even has a whirlpool. At the Manila Pavilion, pampering the guests is the top priority. And if you have some time to waste, why not try your luck at the hotel’s casino—it’s the excitement that counts!
