🏨 Hotel Alejandro – A Stay Steeped in History and Hospitality in Tacloban

Some hotels just give you a place to sleep. Hotel Alejandro gives you a story.

The first time I stayed at Hotel Alejandro, I was hooked—not just by the warm welcome or their delicious Filipino breakfast, but by the feeling that I had stepped into a living museum.

So on my second trip to Tacloban? No question—I booked here again.

🕰️ A Heritage Hotel with Heart

Hotel Alejandro isn’t a modern luxury tower, but it makes up for it with character, comfort, and charm.
The building is filled with World War II memorabilia—framed clippings, sepia-toned photographs, vintage uniforms, and other relics. If you're a history buff (or even just mildly curious), you’ll find yourself wandering the lobby with awe and quiet reflection.

When we entered the lobby, I was immediately drawn to the grand staircase—one of those cinematic ones that make you feel like you’ve stepped back in time. I climbed a bit of it, but the upper floors were off-limits for now. Still, the atmosphere was enough to stir goosebumps... and yes, I did get that slight “somebody’s watching me” feeling that old places tend to evoke.

🛌 Room & Facilities

🛏️ Over 50 guest rooms
🏊 Rooftop pool on the 5th floor – ideal for relaxing or private parties (fits up to 200 guests)
🍽️ Café Teresa – known for their danggit and unlimited brewed coffee
🎉 Event hall – great for weddings, conferences, or reunions
📸 WWII Memorabilia Display – located at the entrance/lobby

During my first stay, the rooftop pool was still under construction, and we were too busy to explore. But by my next visit, I made it a point to see the venue where my friend’s wedding reception was held. Elegant and nostalgic.
