PALACIO REAL DE STO. NIÑO HOTEL, MALOLOS, BULACAN

(excerpt from spot.ph)
Originally a settlement for rich Spanish and Chinese immigrants during the 19th century, the Kamestisuhan district is teeming with Art Deco-inspired and bahay-na-bato homes that were the norm during that period. Also, this two-story home has been around since 1904. It was originally the family home of Hermogenes San Agustin Reyes and Teodora Tiongson Tantoco, members of two of Malolos' wealthiest and most influential families (and they are closely related to several members of the "Women of Malolos," a group of women from the community who, in 1888, petitioned the Governor-General for permission to open a night school where they could learn Spanish.) It was intended to be demolished but Malolos City Vice Mayor Migs Bautista, the current owner and operator of the property and hotel, saved the property and transformed into a hotel.

Perched on a vast hilltop in Chittorgarh, the majestic Chittorgarh Fort stands as one of India’s most powerful symbols of valor and sacrifice. Spread across nearly 700 acres, it served as the historic capital of the Sisodia Rajputs of Mewar and has witnessed some of the fiercest battles in Indian history. Believed to have origins in the 7th century, the fort evolved over time into a formidable stronghold, protected by massive stone walls, seven grand gateways, and an intricate system of water reservoirs that sustained life during long sieges.

Inside the fort lies a rich tapestry of history, architecture, and legend. The towering Vijay Stambh rises as a tribute to victory and pride, while the elegant Padmini Palace echoes stories of honor and intrigue. The fort is also closely associated with Rani Padmini and the heroic tales of jauhar, as well as the spiritual legacy of Meera Bai. Walking through its expansive grounds, one feels a deep connection to its past, where every stone carries echoes of courage, devotion, and an unyielding spirit that continues to define its identity.

This candid shot captures the lively atmosphere around the bar area, with guests dressed in exquisite vintage outfits blending seamlessly with old-school bottles and a classic metal ice bucket. An event that has captured the essence of a bygone era and has now become history itself.
