According to site of Miramar Hotel, " Built in the 1930's in the Art Deco style and sensitively refurbished in 2009, the 5-storey Miramar stands out as an architectural gem, one of very few buildings linking bustling Manila to a graceful and elegant era."
Also according to my research the former name of this hotel was “Dutch Inn” Hotel .
This art deco hotel designed by no other than Mr. Fernando Ocampo.
Who's Mr. Fernando Ocampo?
According to the wikipedia," Fernando Hizon Ocampo was a Filipino Architect and Civil Engineer. Born August 7, 1897, in San Fernando, Pampanga, he was the son of Dr. Basilio Ocampo and Leoncia Hizon.
One of Manila's renowned architects, Ocampo was educated at the Ateneo de Manila A.B., in 1914; University of Santo Tomas, Civil Engineering, 1919; and University of Pennsylvania, Bachelor of Architecture, 1921. Following his graduation from the University of Pennsylvania, he worked in the office of Mr. Emile Perrot, an architect in Philadelphia, and then spent two years traveling in Europe, giving particular attention to architectural designs. "
"Many of Manila's finest business buildings and residences attest to Ocampo's ability as an architect and engineer. Among these are the Manila Cathedral; UST Central Seminary; the Arguelles, Paterno (later became Far Eastern Air Transport Inc. or FEATI), Ayala, Cu Unjieng and Cu Unjieng and Fernandez buildings; the Assumption Academy of Pampanga and the residence of Mr. Joaquin Baltazar, the latter having taken the first prize in the 1930 beautiful home contest."
So far this is only information i got, if you have any information about this Art deco Hotel, share it!
