With the Magayon Festival celebration just around the corner, The Oriental Legazpi, Albay’s newest luxury hotel, pitches in to make the annual festivity in the province a success by attracting more tourists to join in the revelries with the hotel’s special rates for accommodations.

Dubbed as “Magayon sa Oriental,” the special rates that are 50 percent off the hotel’s published rates for all rooms have taken effect starting March 1 and will be implemented until April 30, 2012.

Said Wilbert T. Lee, president and CEO of the LKY Group that operates The Oriental Hotels & Resorts chain, “Our coming up with Magayon rates is our way of helping Albay maximize its tourism revenues during the Magayon Festival. It is our way of giving back to our host province while promoting the hotel.”

The Magayon sa Oriental room rates for both single and double occupancy are as follows: P3,500 for Deluxe, P4,000 for Deluxe Mayon, P6,000 for Executive Suite, P7,000 for Executive Suite Mayon and P10,000 for Governor’s Suite.

Said Lee, “Our first-class accommodation can be had at these lower rates during the month-long run of Magayon Festival. It is a sure come-on especially for the discerning budget traveler.”

These same special rates will also apply to online and traditional travel agents and are inclusive of complimentary round trip airport transfers, in-room coffee and tea selections, replenished bottled water, use of infinity swimming pool, breakfast for two, and high-speed broadband internet service.

Aside from 115 well-appointed guest rooms and suites and first class amenities, the hotel’s Jasmine Restaurant is also a must-try with its delectable dishes ranging from local cuisines as well as sumptuous international favorites in either a la carte or buffet fashion. With a total seating capacity for 117 guests, it also has private rooms that can seat 80 diners for intimate dining and exclusive private functions.

The only hotel in Albay to offer a full view of the legendary volcano with the perfect cone shape, The Oriental Legazpi also provides a glorious glimpse of the rising and setting sun from the same porch. What also makes The Oriental Legazpi particularly stand out is that while it is very much accessible to the big city, it is also distant enough to pamper its guests with all the tranquility and relaxation they need.
