“Makati's gracious veteran, dated carpets”
Makati Shangri-La, Manila is a spacious, elegant sanctuary in the financial district: floor-to-ceiling skyline views, warm wood finishes with local touches, soft beds and quality linens, marble bathrooms with tub and shower, world-class gym and sauna, and an excellent Horizon Club lounge linked by a staircase. Staff are top-notch — Rachel and AJ are named — and the location is handy to malls and pharmacies while staying quiet. The consistent caveat is age: the hotel is dated, needs renovation, carpet cleanliness lags, and one room felt humid. One odd review mentions a nearby exchange scam — read as a neighbourhood caution, not the hotel.
