The Peninsula Manila is a genuine institution, at the center of the Makati business and shopping district and of the city's social life for decades. Its soaring lobby is one of the most recognizable rooms in the Philippines.
The dining is broad. Old Manila is the flagship fine-dining restaurant, Escolta lays out an international market-style buffet, and Spices celebrates the cuisines of Southeast Asia. The Lobby carries all-day dining and the hotel's beloved afternoon tea, the 1930s Shanghai-inspired Salon de Ning brings the glamour after dark, and The Bar and Pool Snack Bar round out the day.
For a Manila stay at the heart of Makati, the Peninsula remains the city's grande dame.
