The Old Luneta Hotel
You can find this beautiful old Luneta Hotel in T. M. Kalaw Street, Manila. This old building is one of the few remaining structures that survived World War II, has been undergoing “structural rehabilitation and retrofit” since it was bought by Beaumont last August 2007.
Completed in 1918, the Luneta Hotel was designed by Spanish architect-engineer Salvador Farre, according to a study by Dean John Joseph Fernandez of the University Of Santo Tomas College Of Architecture.
