Stayed here several times and each visit has been very good with last week's stay being no different as the Peninsula offers consistent excellence. The rooms are comfortable, well appointed and depending on selection spacious. There are several dining options and each choice is excellent and even drinks and light snacks in the nice lobby are very good. I was in east Asia for almost a month and was fortunate enough to stay at some of the best hotels and as city hotels go The Peninsula was one of the better choices. read more

I joined for Easter Afternoon Tea in March 2026 and it was high class adorable!!! The afternoon tea menu items were all Easter themed and came with a pair of stuff bunnies as souvenirs!!! The ambiance is beautiful with high ceilings and live piano playing. The service was excellent as expected at the Peninsula. Highly recommend. read more

The Peninsula Manila - Hotels Near Me - Makati, NCR

The Lobby at the Peninsula Hotel in Makati is a totally amazing place to dine with a delicious menu with fabulous choices. Really hard to choose. We shared a Caesar salad and then had the Pancit Luglog and Spaghetti Bolognese. So rich in flavor and served with excellent presentation. The service was a bit slow and I was a bit turned off when the salad and the main courses were all delivered at the same time - not only crowding the table but we had to watch the main dishes get cold while we were our salad. But it was still very good. It's a nice place for formal dining and special occasions. Not overly pricy and well worth the experience. It's a lovely hotel. We didn't stay there on this trip but maybe next time we come back to the Philippines. read more

You stay here for the buzz, service, pool, and I recommend you book a room with lounge access. Staff are gracious and always available to help. The pool and staff are great. The spa is so nice and the services are wonderful. The rooms are just odd and cold. Sterile, old, and from a boxy chain hotel. The photos tell the story. Very strange control system for lights and the only limited heating/cooling controls. You can't really control the temperature- it has a few up and down buttons and you can't pick a temperature, I really didn't like it at all. The hotel is a celebration destination and the energy and constant parties is fun. read more

We were invited for a dinner at Manila Peninsula while in the Philippines. It's located in the heart of Makati. It is known for-as " Jewel in the Capitol Crown ". It is very luxurious and sophisticated. It was rated five star rating luxury hotel. The place was beautiful . Seated in their restaurant with amazing architecture. We were served with authentic Filipino foods like Kare kare, lechon kawali , spaghetti , veggie salad and a taste of chocolate gnache for dessert. It was an amazing night . The servers were very friendly. For sure we will back once we visit Manila again. read more

The Peninsula Manila is located in the Makati area, which is 15-20 mins from the airport and about 1.5 hours away from the center of Manila. I'd consider it an elegant and timeless hotel that is meant to offer a luxurious experience. From the moment you step into the grand lobby, you're greeted with a sense of sophistication and a somewhat hospitable reception from the staff. The lobby was interesting because it's used for afternoon tea or cocktails, along with live music. So it was slightly overwhelming but still breath taking. We checked in on Dec 22 around 8pm after leaving Tokyo. Just a heads up that MNL is one of these worst airports on earth so if you're reading this review, meaning you had to fly into it, you know what I mean, but I digress. Upon checking in, we were so hungry that we immediately headed to Escolta, their on site restaurant. It was buffet style but the food did nothing for me. Wasn't a fan and it was quite pricy. The breakfast was much better! We headed to our room and it was incredibly spacious, impeccably clean, and thoughtfully designed. The beds were comfortable, and the views of the city added to the vibes. The room did lack a bit of modernization in some areas, particularly the bathrooms. Nonetheless, it was good enough to lay our heads down. I also enjoyed the pool and spa area as it was a great way to start the day and/or relax. As for the service, it lacked when compared to the other hotels we stayed at. I didn't find any of them personable except the staff at Escolta and the spa. I will say the best part of the hotel is the location because of the shopping centers, restaurants, and cultural landmarks that are close by. read more

You'll notice that numerous reviews is in regards to the restaurants at this marvelous hotel, and that's because they are locally known for their halo halo and afternoon tea within The Lobby at the hotel. The Escolta is known for their numerous stations at their buffet. When we arrived the hotel, we saw a jeepney to the left for a photo opportunity. The porters were available to help us with our luggage, but we chose to roll ours in ourselves. They were helpful in placing the luggage on the baggage scanner. There were numerous employees greeting us at the entrance. We walked passed The Lobby restaurant. The concierge was on the left. We proceeded to the right side to check in with the front desk. The front desk employee was very polite and friendly. Then again, everyone at this hotel was very courteous and helpful. We were given the option of a king sized bed or two beds. We chose the two beds, but we were surprised that the two beds were twin sized beds. The front desk did say twin beds, but I guess I was just accustomed to the two beds being full or double sized beds. I was pleasantly surprised as to how convenient all the controls were within a panel on a nightstand. I thought I took a picture of the view from our room, but I am sorry that I didn't. I was happy to see that there were 4 bottles of water, since my thermos was empty. The bathroom was spacious with two bath robes available. It had a shower stall with amenities. The bathtub had a brochure which promoted their spa. The bathroom had a phone and a bidet. The bathroom sink had 2 dental kits, travel size lotion, a disposable shower cap, cotton pads, and cotton buds. The best part about staying here was that the room included a breakfast buffet at the Escolta. read more

I really want to love this place. And it's a solid #2 in my books for Luxury Makati hotels, but this is a place of contradictions. The Manila Pen is reputation driven from the storied legend of the Hong Kong mothership, but as you weave up Ayala Ave it's an unwashed brutalist eyesore hiding the magnificent charm of its great white lobby. As the elevator doors opened on the third floor where my assigned room was, I got a huge waft of heated airplane food and cleaning agent. Not a pleasant smell coming and going to my room. The room itself was well appointed and the service includes plenty of bottled water. A personalized note accompanying gourmet chocolate truffles greeted my welcome, which was an extremely nice touch. You have to go through an outside patio past the pool to get to the fitness center, which is a claustrophic crowding of equipment. But the breakfast buffet at Escolta is probably one of the best, certainly rivalling the Shangri-La's Circles breakfast just across the street. I especially liked the juice bar but everything was well done, really. Ultimately the detracting factors prevent The Peninsula from being my top choice, but I wouldn't necessarily avoid it for a future stay. read more

I stayed here again from May 11 to May 17. As usual, how they treat their guests is the best i've ever experienced. Even though a lot of workers that i've gotten to know have moved on, they have replaced them with some good ones. Also, the core employees that have been here a long time are still here. Mari at the spa, Jed, Jay and Jeff all bartenders are still there providing great customer service at the bar. Julius in the Food and Bev department heard I was in town and he came often to visit while I was having lunch at the bar. One time I ordered something that was off the food menu and the kitchen were more than happy to make it for me...it can't get any better than that. The last 4 days of my stay, I did get sick probably due to the weather...extreme humidity. I called down to front desk and they connected me to their clinic. The nurse came up to my room immediately with meds (small fee) the last 4 nights. By the time i left for the U.S. on Saturday I was feeling great again. I just can't say enough about the employees here and how they treat their guests. I will continue to stay here as long as its where I need to be. read more

Had a lovely lunch here courtesy of my cousin on my last day in the city. I had no business having a buffet option for lunch when I had dinner plans that involved a tasting menu later that evening. My cousin, who is a frequent visitor of this place, decided to take me out for lunch and surprise me with our other cousin and his wife. The property is quite spacious and super fancy. Everything was smooth sailing because we had a reservation. I decided to focus mainly on the Filipino dishes as I don't get to have those options often in LA. They had so many choices that I got overwhelmed on the first round, but as soon as I found my footing, I got all the things all at once. Everything I got was super tasty. The wagyu was a great treat. The only thing I really didn't care for was the dessert options. I guess I wanted the ice cream to taste like the ones you get on the street lol read more

I am visiting Manila with my husband and thought of having halo-halo at this hotel. My husband use to take me on dates here in the 80's. I remember the place to be nice and elegant and it still is! My low rating goes to the wait before we were seated and when we got seated no one came to us to assist. We waited for a while. I was disappointed and walked out! We saw other servers and/or staff helping others who came after us. The good thing that came out of this is that we didn't stay to eat the halo-halo we were told is good because it is overpriced! It looks the same as an ordinary halo-halo I can get for 300 pesos elsewhere. The MP is 990 pesos. We were glad we didn't stay to have some! read more

I was at first very impressed when I walked in the front doors. The foyer is elegant and made of marble, leading into a timelessly majestic three tiered lobby. A pool, garden and gym act as a self enclosed resort atmosphere complete with two large windowed restaurants offering views of the pool. The bar and function room are replete with the grandeur of Victorian themed mahogany and leather accoutrements. The bell hops are dressed in classic white costume and hat, and the bar tenders sport the classic vest. Rooms are large, luxurious, offering a bath and marble fixtures while the exceptional bed faces a TV that sputters to life daily at 7 AM with an eerie hotel soundtrack looped at 30 seconds, giving a disheartening and jolted wake up call (whether or not it was requested). Some of the features feel dated and signs of use are rampant. The hotel was constructed in 1975, or so says their in house produced documentary that plays on repeat one channel away from the wake up channel. The arcade looks like an early attempt at incorporating shopping into the hotel experience, and comes off as a crowded basement with interesting options. The food is almost too predictable and bland; the burger however is on point. The options are uninspired and very little resonates. The servicié is outstanding, and maybe too much so. At times, personal attention teetered on pestering. This is probably a personal bias though. Expats abound and the classic bar lounge is worth the trip. Most hotels in Makati and luxury hotels in Manila in general lack the character and charm of this place. I love Marriott Bonvoy points, but I'll forgo the perks to enjoy a lobby serenade by a perched grand piano and lounge singer reminiscent of an earlier era of travel that may have only ever existed in the fantasy of our minds. read more

This is definitely a 5 star hotel in Manila. Very nice ambiance in the lobby alone where you can have a meal or a drink. My husband had drinks the evening when they had children carolers. It was great. After the event, Peninsula had musicians playing which was fantastic. You will see the rich demographics they serve in this hotel, you'll see families with their uniformed nannies taking care of the little ones, while parents, grandparents enjoy an evening. I also had afternoon tea with my husband one afternoon. The service from the wait staff are incredible. Very polite, addressing their guest as sir and ma'm. Which if your from the US, is not common. The room service is spectacular, they clean your room on a daily if you wish and they have a turn down service in the afternoon, which I enjoy. I also enjoyed the bathtub and the water pressure in the bathroom. Which is pretty rare in the Philippines. We enjoyed the gym and yoga classes. There are restaurants in the premises and be mindful of the dress codes. We will definitely be back again. There's a lot of shopping that is walking distance from the hotel. read more

I recently had the pleasure of staying at The Peninsula Manila hotel and I must say, it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. From the moment I arrived, I was greeted with warm smiles and impeccable service that truly made me feel like a valued guest.

Definitely worthy of 5 stars and I cannot wait to return read more

Escolta, locally famous buffet restaurant in The Peninsula Manila, is located at the heart of the commercial business district of Ayala, Makati City, Philippines. Famous for its western, continental and Asian buffet for breakfast, lunch and dinner, hotel guests and outside patrons flock to this restaurant to savor the well prepared spread of sumptuous meals. Food, salads, dessert and beverage are always being replenished, fresh and/or freshly cooked and warmed. Whenever we're back in town we see to it we dine in Escolta to rekindle our asian taste. The place is cozy with attentive staff who gives warm and fast service. Reservations is not allowed so it's best to come in early. Parking is a challenge in the area but you can get a valet in the hotel entrance. After your gastronimical trip you can practically walk to the high-end malls.across the street to chill! read more

The Peninsula Manila holds a special place in our hearts. My sisters and I all celebrated our 18th birthdays at the Rigodon Ballroom. My parents celebrated both their 25th and 50th anniversary in the ballroom as well. I have stayed in the hotel in the past, so on a recent visit to Manila, my husband and I booked a room for a couple of nights. The hotel may appear dated, but the warmth and charm we've always enjoyed through the years remained intact. The staff were warm and friendly. The room was clean and comfortable. The lounge and some of the restaurants have not reopened, but we did enjoy two nights of in-room dining. Food came on time and hot. We would definitely stay again... and again. read more

and we finally decided to stay in this hotel. Been planning it here as most friends are recommending this. First impression -. superb welcome. we were assisted until we got in and room is clean and neat. Had our buffet breakfast and of course when it comes to buffet from a five star hotel, it's always perfect! I think Philippines has the best buffet served in all countries :) Coffee latte is good, plenty of choices for food,. Filipino, American, different Pastries and Fruits. You can never go wrong in this hotel. If you are new in Manila/Philippines ,. I best recommend staying in a five star hotel to be able to experience the best service and good food :). Of course after that, you can venture on more authentic food and places but it's a good start to stay in a 4 or 5* hotels :) Going to places, make sure you got grab app so it would be easy to get a ride but of course busses and jeepneys are some rides that you can try to experiment on. read more

Deoleo Capital Group. We went to Manila Last October for one of my business trips to Tokyo Japan and Manila Philippines. After spending a few days in Tokyo we went down to Manila where we stayed at the Peninsula Hotel in Manila. The experience was Amazing from the Manager sending a Limo to pick us up at the airport to waiting for us at the Front door of the Hotel with a few More employees all very well dressed ready to over deliver a great experience checking you in directly from your room. We have been in Many hotels around the USA and the World and so far the experience at the Peninsula Hotel In Manila have been the best. We were there for a week. Amenities from the valet service to the Lobby for business meeting to the Salsa Club on Saturday nights where the best Salsa dancer from manila and around the world meets. It was Great to meet one of my salsa friends from LA that went to the salsa club on my last Saturday there. The Fitness Center and the steam room were state or the Art with a great ambiance. The Security was amazing and got to share time with some of my celebrity friends from the Entertainment industry from Manila in the Hotel where they were comfortable enough to be in public and just be a regular group of friends catching up and just having fun on a night out. The location was perfect since it was about 20 minutes away from the airport and you could use the (Grab a car Service) to get on the sky way and be anywhere else in a matter of minutes. It was great to just take a walk to the center of the Makati city and walk around just like a local have dinner and check out the night life in the area just like if I was in LA. The police officers in the outside of the Hotel where so nice that I had to take a picture with them to give them credit. I will definitely come back to the Peninsula Hotel when I am in town. One for the great customer service and second for the Salsa club on Saturday night!! read more

After just watching their stunning ad on YouTube, I felt compelled to revisit my memories of this hotel. An absolutely grand and regal hotel to the highest degree. Once you enter, your mouth will remain wide open. The Penninsula Manila is no doubt a five star hotel. Everything is sparkling and feels like pure lustre. Service is unparalleled. From the moment you arrive to the second you depart. This, is how you do a top tier hotel experience. read more

This grand hotel in Makati conjures up memories of days gone by, when you had a decidedly pleasurable stay in hotels above a certain price point. That includes consistently great service, well-appointed rooms and a location equally conducive to relaxing and sightseeing. I was impressed with my large-sized room, the grand hotel lobby that hosted live music in the evenings, as well as the dining options and choices. The staff, including the concierge, were on point with anticipating the needs of a newcomer to their city, and were generous with their time and patience. It is not often that I review hotels, but this one deserved a hearty five-star rating for what it delivered over my recent four-day stay. If that is not enough, Peninsula Manila has a unique distinction--how many hotels can claim to have been the venue for an armed coup d'etat? read more

Me and my boyfriend wanted to have one of those lazy days by the pool and, just to try something different, we decided to go to the Peninsula. For 1000 PHP, you can use all their pool and fitness facilities, they provide two towels each for the sun beds and give you a small bottle of water. There's a restaurant and bar on the side of the pool so you can order food and drinks to have either under the sun or at the shaded tables. Very relaxing and you completely forget you are in the middle of city! read more

We just arrived and checked into the Peninsula Hotel in Manila. Flew in after a week in a private Villa in Bali and The Mondrian Oriental in Jakarta prior to that. As I write this review I'm very disappointed in the amenities that the Peninsula offer with the American Express Centurion package. The club lounge is limited to coffee, tea, water or soda I was so looking forward to a glass of wine. a few sandwiches and fruit for desert no hot meals. Two massages which come with the package are done in your room, Spa entry is not included. To me as a traveler the best amenities is being able to steam and soak after flaying all day (not here) had i of know that prior to booking I would have booked the Mondrian which offered all that and more as it did in Jakarta. Even the Peninsula New York which is one my favorites offer that. I am disappointed, probably will not stay here again on my future visits. read more

The hotel lobby is beautiful and the staff are friendly but the rooms are dated and the food is ok. I would stay here again but it isn't what it once was. The spa is small as is the gym but it has everything you need. I did get a facial and my hair done in the downstairs salon. I truly enjoyed that. I would get the facial downstairs instead of the hotel spa because it is a deeper facial. Upstairs is more for relaxing. They are in the process of remodeling the rooms. One thing I did like was they had an outlet that accepted my flatiron voltage so I didn't need a converter it did not work for my husbands shaver though. read more

I had an excellent time here. The room was wonderful and the staff couldn't have been friendlier or more helpful. We ended up in the bar ordering drinks and appetizers. My companions got mixed drinks and I stuck with some hot green tea. We got shrimp dumplings and a quesadilla for the table. The quesadilla came out looking like a sushi roll but tasted great all the same. The dumplings had a whole de-shelled shrimp in each one. The atmosphere was very relaxing.

How I love The Pen. Hands down, it is one of my favorite hotels in the great city of Manila. It's been around for forever. I mean, my folks have been married for more than 30 years and they used to go on dates here so yup. While the food at The Lobby has declined to some degree, it's still great for dessert like halo-halo and ice cream. The ambiance is still also unmatched. It has a classic, old-world, sophisticated feel to it that always makes me feel like I'm home whether I'm there for a friend's wedding, a midnight snack, or just to hear the string quartet play. There's also something to be said for the rooms as well. Nice job Pen for maintaining the place even after decades in operation. read more
