Nestled in an oasis-like compound of late 1940s heritage houses in Pasay is the Manila outpost of Cebu’s popular Henry Hotel. The five post-war “Liberation style” houses have been adapted and transformed by renowned Filipino furniture and interior designer Eric Paras into this 34-room boutique hotel. Every detail has been executed to keep with the vintage theme, transporting guests back to another era. The tiles, the antiques, and the garden complete with post-war-appropriate greenery all make it perhaps the most exciting hotel in Manila at the moment.
