For a mere $10 million dollars, the Coconut Palace is a project built for
Pope John Paul’s visit in 1981 thought up by former first
lady Imelda Marcos. This house is 70% constructed from parts of
the coconut tree. This structure is a phenomenon and unbelievable
in size. Located in the Cultural Center, it faces beautiful Manila
bay. It contains seven suites (after the lucky number 7) and is
named and decorated after a different region in the country. The
Pangasinan Room, features pineapple fiber bedcovers and pearl table
sets. When celebrities visit Manila, many will often stay in one
of the grandiose suites. You must make reservations to enter, so
be sure to call ahead. If you do not want to enter the Coconut Palace,
you can walk through the Cultural Center and view it from the outside.
It is a remarkable architectural feat.
