Sunset at Manila Hotel

Everyday, the Manila Bay stages a spectacular light show. And there's no better vantage point than the Manila Hotel...

A refreshing beverage, a beautiful sunset seen from Manila Hotel's view deck...just can't get better than that. (Visited the Grand Dame lately? For more on the historic Manila Hotel, check out my previous post here at http://dude4food.blogspot.com/2014/02/experience-history-at-manila-hotel.html).

The Manila Hotel's MacArthur Suite

Perhaps no other suite in the legendary Manila Hotel can rival the history and elegance of the MacArthur Suite. Home to General Douglas MacArthur and his family during the Commonwealth era up to the outbreak of the second world war, the MacArthur Suite is a piece of history lovingly preserved at the Manila Hotel. 

The refurbished suite includes a master bedroom with dressing room, a guest room, two baths and one powder room, a study room, a formal dining room overlooking the bay, a fully-equipped kitchen and a balcony. Definitely a place for a five-star general (for more on the Manila Hotel, check out my previous post here at http://dude4food.blogspot.com/2014/02/experience-history-at-manila-hotel.html).

Experience History at the Manila Hotel

Zen and Fine Dining at Kitsho Japanese Restaurant and Sake Bar

A delicate, carefully placed incision in a gentle yet precise motion speaks volumes as Executive Japanese Chef Masahiro Mizumoto prepares his signature sashimi.
