Along with its grander look, this hotel in Iloilo debuts its in-house restaurant and cafe, Casa Grande. The restaurant showcases a culinary offering of a Chinese-Iloggo menu. The restaurant offers a twist and a fusion of Ilonggo and Chinese dishes, including their sinigang na kanji, laying with crispy liempo, lengua concepts, crispy palabok, oriental beef stir fry, signature Squid-ink Calamares Fritos with salted egg aioli, and the flying canton noodles. Also interesting to try on their mouthwatering menu are their beef chorizo burger, shrimp pomelo salad, and chicken inasal salad.

This summer, the restaurant offers fresh fruit shakes and signature Casa Grande Halo Halo, perfect for quenching your thirst or cooling down from Iloilo’s high heat index.

Located along Iznart Street in the city’s downtown area, the Iloilo Grand Hotel is a perfect spot to stay near several must-see spots. The Iloilo Central Market is home to popular local favorites such as Popoy’s batchoy. Guests can also buy souvenirs from the area. However, the market is currently being developed, so some stalls surround the market complex.

Walking from the hotel is also Iloilo City’s Calle Real, the old trade center. The local government has well-preserved the old buildings. Near the area is Sunburst Park, just in front of the Iloilo Customs House. The famous siopao from Roberto’s is also in the area. Anyone can easily spot the restaurant with its long line of customers every day.

From there, you can also take a walking tour towards Plaza Libertad and the San Jose Church or ride the local jeepney to the National Museum Western Visayas, housed at the old prison of Iloilo.
