Top 15 Hotels in Ortigas

The Ortigas Center has had come a long way into its development as an urban since becoming a land of nothingness as an undeveloped space. If not for the vision and oversight of one man—that is, Atty. Francisco Ortigas, Jr.—Ortigas would still be regarded as a virtual wasteland.

Considered Metro Manila’s second most important district, following Makati’s Central Business District, Ortigas is another site and a testament to the metropolis’ economic advancement where businesses of many kinds thrive, skyscrapers are standing tall, and night time is illuminated at every corner.

As a place of significant prominence, Ortigas is a home to the St. Francis Square, Oakwood Premier apartments, Asian Development Bank compound, and two of the largest companies in the country, Jollibee Foods Corporation and San Miguel Corporation. In addition, it is also here where some of the best engineering firms are founded, such as the Parsons Brinckerhoff, WSP Group, and Sinclair Knight Merz.

Landlocked in three corners—namely north, west, and east—each of which overarching the neighboring area, Ortigas is partly defined by the popular structures that are endemic in its area.

For shopaholics, this area is significant as the location for the first ever branch of the Robinson’s Mall back in 1990.

Part of Mandaluyong City is the western side of Ortigas which, by proximity alone, makes it a gateway to the “Shopping Capital of the Philippines” while having its own share of shopping areas such as St. Francis Square Mall, the Shangri-La Plaza, etc.

The eastern side of Ortigas takes a bit of territory from Pasig and is the region where most of the city’s skyscrapers are situated such as the One San Miguel Avenue, One Corporate Square, etc.
