MANILA HOTEL TOUR - Presidential & General Douglas MacArthur Suites.

[@topscris]

Has to be the one and only vlog of the Manila Hotel with the presidential suite and Gen. McArthur suite, sweet.

[@raymonde4272]

They're both spectacular suites, it's very kind of the hotel to show us around, and thank you for bringing us along.

[@marshallbuttersvlogs6880]

Our pleasure!

[@belindasmith4690]

Beautiful makes me nostalgic. I was a university student in Australia, while studying I worked in a Five star 🌟 hotel. It was an exciting experience, I can understand Marshal’s excitement! 🤓❤️👍 Thanks for sharing 🇺🇸🇵🇭🇦🇺

[@annexiwang6562]

Thanks for the tour of Manila Hotel. Never got to sleep there, only attended some conferences and a wedding reception in the function halls. Seeing the Presidential and Gen Douglas Mac Arthur Suites makes us appreciate the historical value of the hotel.

[@marshallbuttersvlogs6880]

Glad you enjoyed it.

[@noelalviarvideos3395]

nice suits my friend 👍

[@nestotulangjr1471]

Wooooowwww... 1st time youtuber in history to view that luxurious suites. they're very kind to show you around and i guess for free marketing purposes as well. Thanks sir for bringing us virtually :) keep safe and healthy

[@willyreyes2769]

I've been in the Manila Hotel a lot of times mostly wedding birthday parties, business meetings or concerts etc , but its my first time to see the General MacArthur suites or the Presidential suites , thanks Marshall for sharing this video and it satisfied my curiosity

[@richardfernandez106]

The humor is just impeccable

[@wilburtuason967]

Breathtaking view of McArthur suite.splendid if your occupying this even just for 24 hrs.just to spend the luxury of life.

[@kevinnashskitchen3517]

Well thank you to the staff there for letting your viewers get a nice look around. Very nice. 👏

[@papabearvlog486]

Oh ah nice & cozy

[@westerntrend]

This video is Historic.. You are practically the first to check in right after the pandemic...wow Marshall thank you so much, never in my wildest dream that I could be able to see the president suite...

[@PamelaAlston-x5j]

What a wonderful vlog! I can just imagine the view at night. All I have to do is bring my stationary bike on the plane and place it by the windows to get either the Intramuros or Manila view while exercising. I must agree that this is my first time ever to see both rooms from a KZbinr.......you just made history Marshall 🤟🏽👍........9:48 And yes, I will start saving for your presidential suite stay next time. Instead of one night stay, how about a half day stay, lol. Good job!

[@marshallbuttersvlogs6880]

Hi Pamela, I wonder if they rent the suite out by the hour...? 😂😂😂

[@jimalvir5866]

Pamela once again 👏👏👏🙌🙌🙌

[@mariacorbett1159]

Love it!

[@jcrew6190]

Hey mate, this is quite a treat seeing both the Presidential and McArthur suites. They are so grand and luxurious! Your vlog is always entertaining and informative.

[@marshallbuttersvlogs6880]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@nyfilipina]

Thank you so much Marshall for the tour of the Presidential Suite and the MacArthur Suite of the Manila Hotel.....It was AMAZING 🤩 to see!!!!!

[@thaddeusramos3543]

Thank you for sharing. I have been to the Manila Hotel and stayed there as well for a few nights and was shown General MacArthur's suite. The Manila Hotel was actually built by the Americans early in 1900. President Eisenhower ( then a Major ) was once an aide of General MacArthur and was also in the Philippines. General MacArthur is beloved by Filipinos and he even named his aircraft - BATAAN! His rallying cry during WW2 was: "I Shall Return!" and he did fulfilled his promised on October 20, 1945 on Palo, Leyte Island. On the ground floor of the hotel, there are many photos of dignitaries and historical people who has been to the hotel as well like Apollo 11 astronaut Neil Armstrong, also a US Navy (Korean War ) Veteran.

[@marshallbuttersvlogs6880]

I've seen those photos in the Heritage Room (I think it is) I videoed it for another vlog I did on the Manila Hotel about 8 months ago. It's got the most amazing, rich history. Thanks for the info.

[@thaddeusramos3543]

@@marshallbuttersvlogs6880 You are most welcome and I enjoyed your video. Keep up the excellent work!

[@kevinsoundmixer]

Thanks for the great tour. I absolutely love the Manila Hotel and it's fascinating history. I had the privilege of visiting the MacArthur suite once in the mid 1990's. I do wish they would have some fun with the décor though, maybe put in some 1930s-40's era furnishings, or a vintage radio cabinet, something that harkens back to the old days. It just looks so modern today. *sigh*

[@marshallbuttersvlogs6880]

Yes, I agree in regard to the MacArthur Suite.

[@eavxphilgrlifeinhongkong]

I love ur vlog I enjoy watching it very beautiful Tour Manila hotel 🏨..thanks for sharing....

[@marshallbuttersvlogs6880]

Glad you enjoyed it.

[@eavxphilgrlifeinhongkong]

@@marshallbuttersvlogs6880 yeah thanks for sharing

[@johnhill8046]

Excellent tour

[@derekdey6478]

It’s just laudable that you’re able to bring people to these places, albeit virtually, most of whom may not have had any idea about these elegant and opulent suites. I, for one, am guilty of such “uneducation”. My vague memory about General McArthur’s connection to Manila Hotel was only refreshed, and then, augmented with better knowledge of it by your management sponsored tour. I shan’t be able to afford myself a stay in any of these two immense suites but this video has allowed me a smidgen feel of accommodation. Thank you, Marshall. Here’s looking forward to more entertaining and informative vlogs of yours. Keep safe!

[@marshallbuttersvlogs6880]

Thank you Derek.

[@kv04earlybird]

It’s just Wow! Thanks Marshall for the virtual tour incredible view especially presidential and General Mc Arthur suite!

[@ylocoslovakia]

Thanks for sharing the famous Manila hotel rooms Marshall. I had visited the Gen. McArthur room way back in the early 2000's and I recall the furniture was quite different then. You were given quite a treat there 007 1/2. 😊😎

[@marshallbuttersvlogs6880]

Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks.

[@jameslonergan5840]

WOW, great tour of the suites. Thanks for the video! Have a fun time at the hotel.

[@jahd5790]

My lord, I just got a glance of a 5 star hotel and it's Manila Hotel. I would say it is jaw dropping just because you get incredible views and really enormous spaces together with greay food. Your feature of the space is just amazing Marshall.

[@marshallbuttersvlogs6880]

Thanks.

[@fortuneybiernas5778]

Always heard stories of the 2 suites but never saw them until now. Thanks Mr Butters and Manila Hotel!

[@RamonGarcia-un3xx]

You are quite a VIP to have the privilege to tour the Manila hotel very interesting vlog

[@rignacio9586]

First time seeing both suites at the Manila Hotel; there's full of history here! Marshall, you walked on the shoulder of giants! Stay safe, Gen. Butters! :-)

[@marshallbuttersvlogs6880]

😂😎

[@living_life_today]

Amazing! Thank you Marshall, sponsor Pamela, to the two hosts (Annie?) that gracefully accompanied you and to The Manila Hotel for sharing the place and its important history.

[@marshallbuttersvlogs6880]

Thanks Sim.

[@JB-mk3og]

I was always curious how the McArthur suite looks likes.. thanks for the content Marshall..

[@marshallbuttersvlogs6880]

Thanks for watching!

[@ricjamlig1687]

To open up And blog the presidential and the general Mac Arthur suites just for you , Wow! Can have my appendix out in any of those rooms anytime. Love this Manila hotel series. Nostalgic!

[@marshallbuttersvlogs6880]

Thanks Ric.

[@avnerschapira1421]

I am glad there is still alive at least one person with good taste and discernment to make videos and remind us that there was a period in earth history when things meant something and you couldn't buy your way into certain places without certain norms and attire Probably the manila hotel embodies the best of traditions and civilizations past. There arent that many places left like that left in the world.

[@rayrunn9441]

Absolutely fabulous video. The General MacArthur room. Wow! So cool. Loved it. Thank you.

[@marshallbuttersvlogs6880]

Amazing Marshall...Well spent 19 minutes of my time.

[@marshallbuttersvlogs6880]

Thanks mate.

[@anniearroyo6590]

Wow very beautiful. Thank you for showing inside the manila hotel.

[@marshallbuttersvlogs6880]

It was, as always, my pleasure!

[@oxoelfoxo]

Thanks for the tour! With those rates, I wonder what the occupancy rates of those suites were pre-pandemic.

[@marshallbuttersvlogs6880]

Pre-pandemic? It's a very successful hotel I believe.

[@abgeebssr7344]

Thanks for a great tour. That place is in my bucket list.

[@pinkvelvet3865]

Amazing!

[@reginao2342]

Thanks for sharing what must be rare access to those beautiful and lavish suites! As an aside Marshall, maybe the hotel staff could gift you a copy of their fab vintage hardcover register from 1987--their special Diamond Jubilee Issue. So much history about General MacArthur and the Manila Hotel in general. Photos of dignitaries and famous stars that have stayed there, including Sean Connery himself! Ask if they have an extra copy--you'd love to own it.:)

[@marshallbuttersvlogs6880]

That's interesting!

[@rsberdan]

Indeed Marshall you are privileged to have been granted an opportunity to see these 2 ginormous suites!!! I enjoyed the part when you were innovative enough doing the mini skit of pretending to be Gen Mac Arthur giving orders in modern time era. I sure loved that part. 😂👍

[@marshallbuttersvlogs6880]

Thanks Rene.

[@WordNeedGOD]

Great video Marshall... Nice tour ...

[@marshallbuttersvlogs6880]

Thanks 👍

[@winniecalonzo5640]

Nice. U should do more of these kinds of vlog

[@amaliahightower]

You’ve got to be kidding me...almost 1 million pesos a night for the Presidential Suite! Thanks for the tour Marshall.

[@marshallbuttersvlogs6880]

Yep, a bit pricey.....!

[@NeilBaker722]

When I read "American Caesar" by William Manchester about Douglas MacArthur, it described him living in the penthouse that housed his great library that he inherited from his father. It was described as being surrounded 360 degrees by a rooftop walkway and that his favorite thing to do was to read at night while pacing the perimeter of the roof. He had to abandon the library when he evacuated and one of his first destinations when he came back was to check on his beloved library that, unfortunately, the Japanese had set ablaze just prior to making their own evacuation.

[@marshallbuttersvlogs6880]

That's interesting. The new interior and decoration must be vastly different to the original.

[@John-vh3ig]

Nice suit ! It fits you perfect.

[@bb89670]

I have been there as a child but only in the lobby. I was getting ready to leave the Philippines in 1961 at the time. It was so nice, I remember as I walked up the entrance, there was a hair salon, american ladies were under the dryers with their hairs in rollers.

[@marshallbuttersvlogs6880]

Wow!

[@Fitzaism]

I see you have no time to die, James. Sorry, I mean Marshall. Fantastic Suite. This video is going to take some beating. Sure tops the usual videos of meals in various locations. I would love to see more Manila Hotel videos, if it is possible.

[@marshallbuttersvlogs6880]

One more to come my friend - it's a meal...

[@millardasuncion7661]

very,very nice!

[@marshallbuttersvlogs6880]

Thank you very much!

[@weskerlin8566]

Marshall, I figured it out, thanks to this video. The "Million Dollar Pier" is basically the pier you see when you look out from the Manila hotel. General MacArthur picked the Manila Hotel to stay at because it was the tallest building in Manila at the time he moved in, as well the his military office was across the road at Intramuros.

[@marshallbuttersvlogs6880]

That would be the pier to the right as you stand looking out at the bay. The one the Coast Guard is using?

[@becomingungas5144]

Amazing facts!

[@westerntrend]

Marshall if I may ask, cause you really know how to do this thing. You're like a seasoned journalist... What was your previous job before all these... I'm really curious, cause you really know what your doing...👍 I'm sharing this...😄

[@kayokomiyagi1878]

I love it, and thank you.

[@marshallbuttersvlogs6880]

I'm glad you liked it my friend.

[@crasusiyoy606]

I thought, for sure, Marshall was going to sit down by MacArthur's desk and say something like... Bond...James Bond. I guess you had to show a modicum of respect for the man and the hotel he managed. I didn't know he even was the GM of Manila Hotel back then. The Presidential Suite was truly impressive, but the price tag is enough to deflate any interest in it and drops you back down to Earth. The only Presidential Suite I've seen personally was Cebu Plaza Hotel back when I worked for the hotel. It was furnished like that of Manila Hotel's. Imelda Marcos used to stop by and use the suite for a few hours when she visited Cebu. What else can I say...great job, Marshall!

[@marshallbuttersvlogs6880]

Thans Crasus.

[@d_evolution8269]

"MarShall Returns"... to Manila Hotel 😁

[@victorgomez7900]

Love this series and the Baguio one you did last week. By the way, if you are still seeking the best burger, just heard that POPS, Beyond Better Burgers just opened a branch in San Juan, by Bonny Serrano and Ortigas Ave. you might want to check it out. My fave is the Moo Melt whenever I’m in the Philippines.

[@ambiecutler3263]

McArthur's 'I Shall Return' is also returning back to his Manila Suite but tragedly burned

[@mjcruztv1165]

Luckily we have an idea what is a presidential place in manila hotel is. Thank you Mr.

Very nice suites. And good job for showing to us this 800k suites Mr. bond. Hehehe...

[@michaelpatricio1302]

Hans landa take care always..

[@kevinnashskitchen3517]

I wonder if Sir Elton John would stay there if he was touring? Nice piano.

[@AresGodofWar]

They're expensive for us regular folks but rich people can easily afford the room rates for those suites.
