“Genius is one percent inspiration and 99 percent perspiration.” — Thomas Edison
The Bellevue Manila, under the leadership of The Bellevue Hotels and Resorts (BH&R) chairman Johnny Chan, recently celebrated the first anniversary of Cellar 22, a sleek bar on the 22nd floor of the Southern Metro’s top-notch hotel’s Tower Wing.

The brainchild of The Bellevue Manila managing director Patrick Chan, Cellar 22 is a bar within a bar that has become the go-to place for Manila’s most stylish drinkers for the past year. The bar, which was inspired by classic movies that featured speakeasies, is perfect for those who are looking for a relaxing vibe.
Members of the press, bloggers, social media influencers and guests had a wonderful time as amazing prizes from The Bellevue Manila and co-sponsors TW Steel, Remy Cointreau, Penguin and East Rock Shoes were raffled off.
