MANILA, Philippines - The iconic Mandarin Oriental, Manila celebrated its fantastic journey spanning 38 years in the country via a series of nostalgic appreciation-farewell parties hosted by general manager Torsten van Dullemen. Held in its two signature restaurants, Tin Hau and The Tivoli, the parties also kicked off a 10-day gastronomic promotion in each of the restaurants dubbed “MeMOries: Best of the Best”, to mark the outlet’s grand finale. Paseo Uno hosts the last of the series on August 18 to September 5, prior to the hotel bowing out on September 9. Mandarin Oriental returns in 2020 in a new location in Makati City.
