Las Casas Filipinas de Acuzar

Travelers with an interest in history can head over to Las Casas Filipinas de Acuzar. Meticulously crafted to resemble the Philippines as it was in the 18th century, the hotel is practically a time capsule, without sacrificing modern comforts like WiFi, en suite bathrooms, and air conditioning.

Las Casas Filipinas de Acuzar is located in Bagac, Bataan. The Umagol River runs right through the property, which in turn flows right into the West Philippine Sea. It’s also just a 13-minute drive from another historic site -- the Zero Kilometer Death March Marker.

The property has a total of 217 rooms and 13 private casas, all furnished and designed to resemble houses in the Philippines during the 18th century. Rooms are also air-conditioned and have a free WiFi connection, as well as one full granite bathroom with a separate bathtub and shower.

Dining options also about at Las Casas. Six restaurants dot the property, namely the Beach Bar, the Cafe del Rio, Cafe Manivent at Casa New Manila, Cusina ni Nanay Maria, La Bella Teodora, and La Parilla and Pica Pica. Offerings range from Filipino street food and beverages, authentic Italian cuisine, and Filipino-Spanish cuisine. A swimming pool and beach area is also available, while the property’s replica of the Hotel de Oriente serves as its convention center, able to hold parties of up to 600.

Las Casas also has a number of activities for its guests.
