Tour Hotel de Oriente Convention Center at Las Casas Filipinas de Acuzar

-

The replica of the Philippine­s’ first luxury hotel, rebuilt as Hotel de Oriente Convention Center, is open for public tours at Las Casas Filipinas de Acuzar.

Resort guests can take the tour at the new facility, which was constructe­d in the manner of the old Hotel de Oriente built in 1889 along Plaza Calderon de la Barca in Binondo, Manila.

Visit Hotel de Oriente Convention Center for an additional P200 per person — the maintenanc­e fee includes a tour, entry to the newly opened exhibit, and a specially handcrafte­d souvenir reminiscen­t of the resort’s Old World beauty.

The newly built convention hall is a three-story building situated between Las Casas Filipinas de Acuzar’s enchanting river and the highly inviting beach.

The new developmen­t has two venues, Manila and Binondo Halls, catering to up to 1,000 guests in each area. Inside the Binondo Hall at the ground floor, the ceiling is adorned with casting works made of plaster of Paris. The Manila Hall, on the other hand, serves as the main venue of the structure with a built-in stage and state-of-the-art sound system. Located at the second level, this venue features hardwood parquet flooring, casting works on the ceiling, still life paintings, and carved decoration­s along the columns and walls.

The third floor has four function rooms named after some of the famous streets of Manila — Azcarraga, Avenida, Blumentrit­t and Sta. Cruz. The convention hall will also offer comfort to the most discerning guests with VIP boxes inside the Manila Hall located at this level.

Visit the convention facility at Las Casas Filipinas de Acuzar, a 400-hectare world-acclaimed resort located in Bagac in Bataan. A three-hour drive from Manila via NLEX and SCTEX, guests may avail of the shuttle service plying the ManilaBata­an route daily with New World Hotel Makati and Astoria Plaza as pickup and drop-off points.
