The medieval lobby of the Peninsula Hotel in Manila, with music playing on weekends

The Peninsula Hotel in Manila, built in 1976, is the second hotel of the Peninsula Group. Its symbol is the medieval lobby, which is extremely huge and made entirely of marble. There is a spiral staircase leading up to the lobby, and music is played on weekends. As the second Peninsula Hotel in the world, it was 50 years after the first Peninsula Hotel in Hong Kong opened in 1928, which was a turbulent era. Therefore, the Peninsula Hotel Group is now spread all over the world, and we should cherish the present era.
