“Makati heritage icon, warm rituals”
The Peninsula Manila keeps its reputation: a beautiful lobby where an orchestra once serenaded a birthday celebrant, spotless rooms, top-notch service that fulfils every request even on late arrivals, and a rich breakfast buffet where the adobo earns a mention. The location is good with malls about ten minutes' walk, soundproofing works well, and guests call the heritage feel and front-of-house smiles awesome — some plan membership. One note: the equipment and rooms run a little dated, though service more than compensates.
