In a statement on Sunday, March 28, the hotel said the closure will be “until further notice.”
 
"As the risk of the pandemic is continuously rising, the Management has decided to temporarily cease its operation effective March 31, 2021 until further notice as we continue to support the nation’s effort to combat the spread of COVID-19,” it said.
 
 “COVID19 has affected every sector across the globe and the tourism industry is one who took the hardest hit,” it said.
 
The Apo View Hotel is in its 73rd year in business. It was built in 1948 and started with only 15 rooms and a restaurant. 
 
In 1978, its guest rooms increased to 100 and in 2014, the hotel facility expanded to 156 guest rooms with modern amenities.
