The Seawall Garden 2024 Virtual Tour at Sofitel Phiilippine Plaza Manila | Luxurious Hotel Closing

Описание: Let us have a quick virtual tour of sea wall garden one of the famous hotels in Manila - The Sofitel Philippine Plaza. You will surely be missed. Please come back right away.

The 51-year-old Sofitel Philippine Plaza Manila in Pasay City will close its doors starting July 1. “We will cease hotel operations on July 1, 2024, so our last day of business will be on June 30,” Esteban Peña Sy, president of the luxury hotel’s owner Philippine Plaza Holdings Inc. told The STAR by phone yesterday. According to a statement allegedly from the hotel management that made the rounds on social media, the closure of the luxury hotel was “part of our ongoing commitment to providing our guests and colleagues with the best possible experience.”

The Sofitel Philippine Plaza Manila is a luxury hotel in Pasay, Metro Manila, Philippines under the Sofitel hotel chain of AccorHotels. Originally named the Philippine Plaza, it was built during the martial law era administration of President Ferdinand Marcos. It was one of twelve luxury hotels rushed to construction using funds drawn from Philippine Government finance institutions at the behest of First Lady Imelda Marcos, with the intention of presenting an impression of luxury to the 2000 delegates who would attend the 1976 Annual Meetings of the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank, which would be held in Manila that year, and is considered one of the examples of the Marcos couple's "edifice complex" fondness for the use of construction projects as political propaganda.

It stands on land which was originally part of the Cultural Center of the Philippines Complex and is owned by the Government Service Insurance System (GSIS). In 1994, 12 years before the AccorHotels group took over ownership from Westin, the hotel hosted 670 guest rooms. In 2016, it hosted 609 rooms and 46 suites. It also features two restaurants, including the reputable Spiral Manila buffet restaurant, and four bars.

The hotel hosts the Grand Plaza Ballroom which can accommodate between 1,000 and 1,400 people. For smaller functions, the ballroom can be divided into three smaller ballrooms that are given names of the country's three major island groupings: Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao. The ballroom underwent a major renovation in 2014. Some of the ballroom's features designed by Locsin have been kept, most notably the Murano crystal chandeliers, which have been a fixture of all the rooms since the hotel's opening. The hotel management partnered with A. Ilustre and Associates for the renovation, while the architect firm in turn consulted architect Raul R. Locsin who works for the original firm behind the hotel.
