About the Property

Converted from a 1940s American military housing compound in Manila's Pasay district, The Henry Hotel is a boutique art-filled retreat. Its mid-century compound features original Scala grilles and Baldoza floor tiles from the era, reimagined as a gallery-hotel showcasing Filipino contemporary art. Architects were mandated to preserve not just the heritage buildings but surrounding old-growth trees, creating a living artistic community.
