 On January 17, 2008 the Manila Hotel Tent City, located west of the original structure was opened. The performance / conference hall could accommodate 2,500 guests for wedding receptions, anniversaries, conventions, and exhibitions. Its high ceilings allow even the most complex of venue set-ups and design. The Tent became the center stage when the hotel celebrated its 100th anniversary with a Centennial Ball on July 4, 2012 with President Benigno Aquino III as the guest-of-honor.
