Our
Story
The building that houses the Manila Travelers was established by the first woman doctor of UP Manila, Dra. Maria Paz Mendoza-Guazon MD in 1951.
The
Luxury
Of Home
Formerly known as the Manila Travellers Apartel, The Manila Travelers was among the first significant apartment-hotels in the country. Rising at a time of rapid movement in tourism, we offered an entirely new concept of providing foreigners and balikbayans the privacy and comforts of home paired with the luxury of select hotel-rendered services.
An
Architectural
Heritage
Showcasing the creativity of women, Dra. Maria Paz Mendoza-Guazon employed the use of a flowing and seamless curvature to mimic the structure of a steam boat, which was in itself an architectural innovation of its time.
