Located in Manila, the capital of the Philippines, it is the most prosperous political, financial and cultural center in the Philippines. There are eight major banks in the Philippines in the surrounding area, and the U.S. Embassy is just across Roxas Avenue. Less than 300 meters to the north are Manila Ocean Park and Rizal National Park, and 500 meters to the south is the Manila Yacht Club. Manila Beach Park is right at the door, just a 3-minute walk.
