Something Old and Something New: The Orion Hotel Experience

Tutuban Station was formerly the central station the old “Ferrocarril de Manila-Dagupan” line. This turn of the century mode of transportation during the 1900′s was the best way to take if you are going to and from the Northern and Southern Luzon. The Northern Luzon Line was the first to op8erate bringing people as far as Dagupan and Cabanatuan in 1892. The trains going north stopped its operation during the late 1980′s and the Tutuban Station was taken into a new direction.

The Tutuban Center Mall is now the on the map not because of the trains but because of shopping. This is the best place to buy items from clothes, shoes and other knick knacks that may catch your fancy at very affordable prices.

Located on the 3rd floor of the Tutuban Prime Block Building at the heart of the Tutuban Center Mall is Orion Hotel. This 41-room hotel is perfect for businessmen, traders, tourists and even for groups who may want to enjoy the sights of this shopping district.

Each room has a Zen atmosphere that adds to the factor of relaxation. It also has amenities that is beyond with our expectations.

There are a few things that makes this hotel standout;

1.The hotel is conveniently placed in the heart of Manila’s best bargain district. If am a shopper coming from outside of the city; this is the best place to rest after a long day of splurging.

2. The hotel staff from the security guards (those that escorted me to the hotel entrance) to the front desk clerks are the epitome of being hospitable. They always make they address the need of their guest from wake up calls to late night calls for assistance in fixing the television.

3. And the concept was well thought of, when you go inside the hotel you’ll not think that you’re Divisoria!
