“Classic Makati comfort beside the malls”
Dusit Thani Manila is a 1976 classic, renovated in 2017, that business and Manila regulars keep choosing — a very safe-feeling, central location beside malls, a convenience store opposite and the MRT close. Staff are courteous and memorable — Maila settled one family in early, Miguel impressed another — and the breakfast buffet is awesome with Filipino dishes guests crave. The building shows its age: windows have clouded inside, though the ambiance stays elegant and comfortable, right down to a pretty flower stall at the door.
