This top floor of the hotel has been converted into a posh events place now aptly called the Constellation. Aside from the spacious hall (formerly the Galaxias Ballroom where our wedding reception was held), which can be divided into five smaller rooms named Aquarius, Gemini, Libra, Sagittarius and Capricorn, the Constellation also boasts of several areas which are a luxurious first in the Philippine hotel industry.
There's Pisces, the culinary studio with an ultra-modern open kitchen perfect for small gatherings.

Aries is the open coffee and beverage bar which greets guests at their first step into the 27th floor. I think it's an ideal place to hold pre-dinner cocktails at a wedding reception.
As if these weren't enough, Diamond thought it best to build an executive boardroom for business meetings that require a sweeping view of the metro. Leo is apparently equipped with lavish functional furnishings that's guaranteed to bring out the best out of any meeting attendee.
I have quite a few though of the events hall where the PSO Fellowship Night was held. It was at this fellowship night that I got inducted as an affiliate member of the society. While Galaxias was differently grand on its own, this has a cleaner, more monochromatic look which is all the rave now. The interiors had an Asian feel to it, what with rust as the main color and the thatched wood-adorned ceiling.
At the center ceiling of the hall and the corridor outside, there are solidly sweeping structures reminiscent of stars twinkling at a distance.
The idea is deep dark rich, at the same time vibrant and energizing.
They have definitely lived up to the times with modern audio-visual facilities that move at a click of a button. Even the attendants' garb were beautifully revamped. I could not resist posing with this friendly girl who served us drinks. I think her bronze dress is just pretty.
The only thing that didn't change was the fact that the food was still the same superb quality and flavor that guests just love, the same warm gracious service and the spectacular view of Roxas Boulevard and the bay. These photos don't give that justice, but don't take my word for it. Check out the constellation now if you're looking for a perfect venue for that event you are planning.
By the way, did I mention how cool the restrooms were?
I couldn't quite believe this was the same room
but I'm happy about this transformation. My starry romance place just got a whole lot better.
