Manila | The Peninsula

Summary

It is certainly true that The Peninsula Manila offers the perfect base from which to explore the cultural wonders of the Philippines’ economic and political capital- and yet, this hotel is much more than an accommodation option. Instead, it has become one of Manila’s landmarks in its own right, achieving almost legendary status amongst visitors and discerning locals- both for its iconic colonial architecture, and for its famous cuisine. Here, quality service and exceptional amenities are offered as standard, whilst The Lobby at The Peninsula Manila acts as the jewel in the hotel’s crown. Classy and sophisticated, The Lobby is the capital’s only 24 hour dining venue, and over the years it has become the foundation of this hotel’s grand reputation.
