Located along Iznart Street in the city’s downtown area, the Iloilo Grand Hotel is a perfect spot to stay near several must-see spots. The Iloilo Central Market is home to popular local favorites such as Popoy’s batchoy. Guests can also buy souvenirs from the area. However, the market is currently being developed, so some stalls surround the market complex.

Walking from the hotel is also Iloilo City’s Calle Real, the old trade center. The local government has well-preserved the old buildings. Near the area is Sunburst Park, just in front of the Iloilo Customs House. The famous siopao from Roberto’s is also in the area. Anyone can easily spot the restaurant with its long line of customers every day.

From there, you can also take a walking tour towards Plaza Libertad and the San Jose Church or ride the local jeepney to the National Museum Western Visayas, housed at the old prison of Iloilo.
