Manila Hotels - Why the Legend Hotel Manila is a "Villa in the City"

High rise hotels are an everyday fare in Manila, Philippines. In fact, towering buildings seem to be the norm in the hotel scene, but The Legend Hotel Manila has dared to be different.

This hotel, which sits strategically between the Makati and Ortigas Business Districts, looks like an impressive mansion. 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 aptly called a "villa in the city."

This three (3)-star hotel is 45 minutes away from the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) and can be reached by traversing the famed Epifanio De Los Santos Avenue (EDSA), Manila's main thoroughfare. It is 10 minutes away by car from the Ortigas Business and Commercial District, and 20 minutes away from the Makati Central Business District.

Entering the cobblestone driveway, one can instantly feel a sense of home. The rolling terrain and well-manicured gardens is a refreshing sight. The hotel's fine wood finish, Venetian glass-framed mirrors, Filipino-Hispanic theme and subtle lights, blend perfectly to spell a quiet elegance. One is immediately transported to a place where one can be himself, relax and unwind. There is simply an underlying coziness to the hotel.

The hotel offers accommodations in 5 categories: The bi-level Villa Suite of the hotel is designed for an extended stay at the hotel. It spells luxury in a homey setting, complete with kitchen facilities. The Team Suite, ideal for seminar participants, business associates and student groups, can comfortably fit a group of six. The Family Room, which offers a choice of either 4 single beds, or 1 queen sized bed and 2 single beds, has a walk-in closet, 3-way toilet and bath, and a working table. For the busy businessman and couples, the Superior/Premier Room features 2 double sized beds. The Studio Room, which has a queen sized bed, is a perfect fit for the solo traveler.

Guests can relax and unwind at the fitness center, the outdoor pool with a Jacuzzi, the salon and barber shop. Massage services are available for those who want to wind down, but the sports savvy can rev themselves up at Metro Badminton Center which is right across the hotel, and enjoy the amenities of this giant warehouse aptly converted into several badminton and full-size basketball courts. Metro Badminton is favored and frequented by the city dwellers.

Delectable, home-grown Filipino dishes are available at the hotel's Lola Maria Coffee Shop, where guests can feast on varied treats, from festive to regional Filipino meals, prepared by the best Filipino chefs in town. Lola Maria Coffee Shop is open daily from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m.

The Legend Hotel Manila offers a taste of the Filipino home: cozy, homey, quietly elegant. The hotel staff's impeccable hospitality and the hotel's unhurried ambiance are perfect for everyone who wish for respite. From the frazzled businessman to the family on a holiday, the Legend Hotel is simply the place to be.
