With its unique vista overlooking the Iloilo River, Hotel Del Rio was first established in 1965, now boasting a more than half a century legacy as an Ilonggo landmark and icon – a pioneer of the city’s hospitality industry for five decades now.

Ahead of its milestone 55th anniversary this 2020, Hotel Del Rio is gearing up for a slate of revamps as it reintroduces the property as a modern homegrown brand – with sleek and contemporary amenities that pay tribute to local color – yet still firmly grounded on the nostalgia of its glory days and its place in the history of Iloilo City./PN
