With its convergence of Filipino along with Spanish, Japanese and American cultures, Manila is one of the most sophisticated cities in the Philippines. Visitors can expect to find many daily newspapers and periodicals (in multiple languages), radio and television stations, a symphony orchestra, museums and more than 20 universities and colleges. Under new management since 1995, the former Swiss Inn has been renovated and expanded to be the present-day Garden Plaza Hotel Manila. Located directly opposite Paco Park and close to the subway and Manila's main tourist area, the Garden Plaza Hotel is situated in a quiet area of Manila. Ninoy Aquino International Airport is 15 kilometers away and the nearest train station is Pedro Gil.
An interesting feature is the wishing fountain in the lobby. Guests can either toss a coin for good health or proceed to the nearby health club. For dining, the Old Swiss Inn Restaurant features European cuisine while the coffee shop features Filipino fare. The hotel also features a business center as well as meeting and banqueting facilities, which can accommodate up to 250 persons. A night club and landscaped garden round out the on-site facilities.

The hotel features 104 air-conditioned and fully equipped guestrooms with antique style European furnishings. Inside the rooms, guests will find neutral tones, cable/satellite television and minibars.
