Victoria Court: the stuff tourism brochures aren’t made of …

April 19, 2008 by ajay

I ‘partially’ work in the hotel industry. More recently, a couple asked me for help in booking the biggest jacuzzi in Manila. I presume it couldn’t be in the formal hotels which have these conventional bathtubs. And so I looked elsewhere. Here is what greeted me in the Victoria Court website : the Oval Office theme room.

Right! All I can think about was Bill Clinton and Monica Lunoksky :D

I wonder what Hillary has to say of VC’s version of the Oval Office bedroom.

I’ve been browsing through the Victoria Court gallery and thought the designs aren’t really that bad:

The Austin Powers room looks happy :P

Although I can settle for something as sedate as the Aman Room:

My search for the biggest jacuzzi is still on!

Victoria Court is of course now marketing itself as a place for parties and families, although it’s still stuck with the ‘motel moniker.’

I am kinda reminded of that giant shopping mall in Paranaque turned into the ultimate pleasure boudoir and KTV bar: Air Force One.

These are the stuff you don’t see being bandied about in the tourism brochures. All I can say is: Manila is really amazing! :P

    Great oval office theme! The best place to get on with it is on the desk itself! Interesting pun on Monica. Pero may nalunok nga ba – thought it was all on her dress! :-)
