The Sofitel Philippine Plaza Manila Hotel blends work and pleasure, service and art into a delectable paradise. Overlooking the Manila Bay, this 12-acre five (5)-star hotel is surrounded by and filled with attractions that cater to all of your travel curiosity. Just a 30-minute car ride from the Ninoy Aquino International Airport, one could begin their pleasurable lodging experience in this excellent accommodation.

From the airport, one would pass scenic spots it would do well to visit during his/her stay at the Sofitel hotel.

Passing through the newly constructed Diosdado Macapagal Avenue, named after the President’s late father (also a former president), one would not fail to notice the giant globe that changes color during the evening. This is SM Mall of Asia’s (SM MoA) landmark—the country’s largest department store and supermarket (and one of the world’s Ten Largest Malls) which overlooks the Manila Bay. Of special interest here is the IMAX cinema which features movies played in digital 3D and the SM EX activity center which hosts many special events. A fireworks display also takes place every evening.

The Cultural Center of the Philippines is just a few meters away from the compound. Shows in this architectural feat features the country’s best in the theatre, film and music scene among others. Host to most of the premier film festivals and theatre productions, an evening in the CCP would prove to be artistically worthwhile.

Science is also well represented in this area. 1.5km from Sofitel Plaza Manila Hotel is the Manila Zoo where one would see a survey of animals most of which are endemic in the country. Near it would be the Manila Ocean Park. The newly built facility offers a new way of viewing ocean life through an underground viewing tunnel. Of course, Filipinos being sports lovers as they are have stadiums almost every block. The Sofitel has one near it. The Rizal Stadium sits 2.00km from the hotel and it plays host to the country’s special sporting events.

As one would be coming for business conferences, the Sofitel Philippine Plaza Manila is just half a kilometer away from the Philippine International Convention Center which plays host to most of the country’s special conferences (business or otherwise).
