The country’s tourism industry continues to look up as the Department of Tourism recently awarded two star rating certificates to The Oriental Legazpi and The Proxy by The Oriental, two of the leading hotels in the Bicol Region.
The DOT granted the prestigious ratings after a series of rigorous inspections and evaluations conducted by a team of tourism quality advisers and third-party auditors last June.
The 6-story, 104-room and suite The Oriental Legazpi, the flagship of the LKY Group of Companies, was renewed its four-star classification and is the highest-ranked in its category in the Bicolandia. Its facilities include a 1,500-pax grand ballroom, 2 boardrooms, 4 event halls, four food and beverage outlets with VIP spaces, a spa, infinity pool, Asian-themed landscaped garden, a fitness center, and the St. Peregrine Chapel.
Situated in Taysan Hill overlooking the city, the luxe accommodation reopened last year after undergoing a grand makeover.
Meanwhile, Proxy by The Oriental, a sub-brand by the Filipino hospitality chain, was elevated to three-star status after meeting stringent DOT standards. Located near downtown Legazpi, is a 76-room, five-story boutique property with 2 food and beverage outlets, a 200-pax Albay Theater, 2 function halls, a 2,000-person capacity convention center, a swimming pool, and the Magayon Garden.
