Manila hotels

Top tips for finding the perfect Manila hotel deal

• If you are looking for a hotel close to Intramuros, the walled area of the city, then you will want to look to the south of the area, as there are few hotels actually within the walls. There you will find the Cathedral, several university buildings and a golf course. Within the walls you will find The Bayleaf Intramuros, rated as a top golf hotel. Outside the walls you will find The Manila Hotel, a highly rated family hotel.
• In the southeast of the city, you will find the area of Makati, which is known as Manila’s financial hub, and is filled with skyscrapers and shopping centres. Makati Diamond Residences offers a 5-star stay on a reasonable budget. Makati Shangri-La offers great views of the area, with a large pool and well-sized rooms.
• Looking for hotel with a casino? Then look into the city centre area or in the area of Pasay. In the city centre, you will find Ag New World Manila Bay Hotel, which offers views of Marina Bay and a top-rated luxury experience. In Pasay you will find Hyatt City of Dreams Manila, which also offers a small pool area.
• For a good family hotel, look into Hotel H2o, which is on the water and next to Manila Ocean Park. There are mini aquariums in the rooms and a waterfront terrace. Amelie Hotel Manila is a short walk from Manila Zoo and comes with family rooms and a trendy finish.
• For 5-star accommodation, look into the High Street South area of the city, where you will find Shangri-La at the Fort, a luxury hotel close to the Mind Museum and with bus stops nearby for links into the city centre.
