The Eusebio Villanueva Building, also known as E. Villanueva Building or simply Villanueva Building, is a neoclassical building located along the historic Calle Real in Iloilo City Proper, Iloilo City, Philippines. Built in 1927, it was originally known as the Washington International Hotel. The hotel catered to American, British, and Spanish patrons, as well as Chinese bankers and merchants.[1]
The building was restored in 2012, which now appears to be the centerpiece of the historic street.[2] On August 8, 2014, the National Historical Commission of the Philippines installed a historical marker in front of the building, declaring Calle Real a heritage zone.[3]
