In 1912, on the commemoration date of the American Independence, Manila Hotel was inaugurated and officially opened.
With the hotel garbed in full regalia, four hundred handsomely groomed and elegantly attired guests were ushered in for a dinner of American roast, Philippine lobster, and French Champagne.
Commonwealth President Manuel Quezon invited General Douglas MacArthur to build the Philippine army in 1935. Gen. MacArthur responded to the request of his long confidant and sailed back to the Philippines.
During his tenure as the Military advisor to the Commonwealth Government of the Philippines, Gen. MacArthur, his wife Jean and son Arthur made Manila Hotel their home. MacArthur's favorite food at the hotel was lapu-lapu, a grouper fish native to the Philippines wrapped in banana leaves.
To handle the cost of MacArthur's suite, he was given the honorary title of "General Manager". He attended the monthly meetings. However, he ignored the figurehead status and instead took control of hotel management.
In the last two decades, Imelda Marcos could be frequently seen at the Hotel. When she visited restaurants, a red carpet and garlands were put out and the air was sprayed with deodorant.
