MANILA, Philippines - Over the past year, The Manila Hotel has intricately transformed its grand ballroom, the Fiesta Pavilion, into a luxurious realm, adding more flexibility and more functionality in response to the increasing demand for smarter spaces as the capital city prepares to host global events.
