Leyte Park Hotel (LPH) is a paradisical hotel and convention center on a six hectare parkland nestled on a hill overlooking the beautiful views of Mount Danglay, San Juanico Strait, and San Pedro Bay in Tacloban City, Leyte. It exudes the distinctive luxury of a hotel and the ambiance of a resort.

Legal Issues
The Leyte Park Hotel is believed to be part of the ill-gotten wealth of the Marcos family. In 1987, the property was sequestered by the government under former President Corazon Aquino’s term.
There is an ongoing legal battle between the Provincial Government of Leyte and the City Government regarding the auctioning of the government-owned hotel. About nine real properties of LPH are included in the supposed auction sale by City Government which covers 61,322 square meters.
