Manila Hotels

Fully restored and renovated, the Miramar Hotel Manila is now one of the best three (3)-star hotels in the country. Able to combine quality service and cheap rates, the Miramar Hotel Manila is an affordable escape from the usual humdrum of metropolitan living.

Originally built in the mid-1930’s, the hotel’s 40 guestrooms have been full restored to its original grandeur. Tastefully furnished with gray carpeting and wooden colored walls with minimalist furniture, guests can relish the relaxing ambiance these rooms can afford. Choose among the several types which would accommodate each guest’s strictest need. Whether you go solo on a Standard Room, or treat yourself in a Deluxe Room, or bring the whole family in a Superior Family Room or go all-out in one of their Junior Suites, you can never go wrong in when choosing a room at Miramar.

Sticking true to the hotel’s name, which if translated from Spanish would literally mean “look at the sea,” rooms face the Manila Bay seascape. At sunset, bask in the golden rays of the sinking sun while indulging yourself with all of the creature comforts and modern amenities of the room. Gaze through the veranda while sipping your own concocted drinks from the minibar. Surf through hundreds of cable channels in the satellite TV or connect to the net via WiFi while munching snacks from the fully-stocked refrigerator. And before tucking in, take a bath and choose between a cold and a hot one, or listen to some piped-in music. Be connected to the outside world. Rooms are equipped with NDD/IDD telephone services, perfect for contacting business associates, families or friends. Everything goes well when you’re checked-in at Miramar Hotel Manila. You leave the worrying to its wonderful staff.

And when it comes to things you worry the most, business, travelling and staff like that, let Miramar Hotel Manila take care of it all.

Airports are no problem. A 20-minute drive from the hotel will give you the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA). If you have some passport or travelling problems and inquiries, two embassies are just a few minutes drive away—the US and Japanese embassies. The hotel also rents and hires cars whenever the need arises. For the busy business executives, the hotel’s Business Center renders stellar services offered by a fully-trained staff. It offers facsimile, photocopying services, printing and other secretarial services. Conference and meeting rooms are also available equipped with state-of-the-art audio-visual facilities, perfect for that all-important business convention, meeting or presentation.

And when it comes to filling in your gastronomical needs, the Miramar Hotel Manila also doesn’t fail to satisfy. To sample the finest cuisine of six continents, just troop down to the Bistro Michelle and dine in an elegant black and white environment that would focus your attention towards the delectable dishes alone. And if you’re meeting up with some friends or business associates, or just by yourself chilling out, the Mezzanine Bar is the perfect place for you. Enjoy the piano and other instrumental music while indulging in fine wine. Again, you’ll never go wrong at Miramar, not even at having fun.

But if you’re looking for a splendid urban getaway, the hotel’s surroundings offer an array of tourist destinations to choose from. If you’re into arts, several museums are just a few minutes away. Learn the history and culture of Filipinos in the National Museum of the Filipino People. Let the children learn and have fun at the Museong Pambata or relive Philippine’s political backdrop at The Museum of Filipino Political History. But for the true aesthete searching for films, theatre productions or art exhibits, the Cultural Center of the Philippines is the place to go to being the seat of the Philippine’s proudest when it comes to art and aesthetics.

When shopping is in your blood, the country’s largest mall is just a few minutes away—the SM Mall of Asia which offers not just a unique shopping experience but also an extravagant cinematic experience through the country’s only IMAX theatre and also the SM Ex Activity Center which is a prime venue for conferences, trade fairs, and conventions. Also, guests can check-out bargain sales at Binondo and the local Chinatown, not to mention their simmering noodles and mami soups

Take a trip down history and explore the old capital of the country during the Spanish occupation—Intramuros. Within its massive malls and along its cobble streets one would see the numerous old stone churches like the Manila Cathedral and the San Agustin Church, and old military forts during the Spanish regime like the Fort Santiago—also, the prison of National Hero Dr. Jose Rizal before he was executed at the Luneta Park, then Bagumbayan.

So, what are you waiting for? The Miramar Hotel Manila is the complete urban getaway combining business and leisure in amazingly cheap rates. Book now!
