Metro Manila is home to many of the
major cities in the Philippines. This is where you will find many of
the business districts that play hosts to various local and
multinational companies. These areas are often the busiest and most
commercial, with the large number of restaurants, malls, hotels, and
other establishments that you can find.
The top business district in the
Philippines remains to be the one in Makati City. For many,
many years, the Ayala Avenue in Makati has grown to become an iconic
landmark whenever one thinks about the typical financial and business
district. It is not surprising that Makati is also home to the most
number of hotels and serviced apartments which are among the top
places to stay in Metro Manila. Below are some of these top Makati hotels.
- Raffles Hotel. A very new hotel which was just recently opened in December 2012, the Raffles hotel immediately created a buzz and ranked itself among the best hotels in Makati. This hotel has a homey atmosphere and a subdued elegance which make it a perfect luxurious home away from home. Those who have stayed in this hotel only have raves for the generous space, high class amenities, and excellent customer service.
- Makati Shangri-La. A well-known hotel at the corner of Ayala Avenue and Makati Avenue, the Makati Shangri-la has long earned its reputation for elegance and excellence. It is the hotel of choice for many of those who want a high-end hotel in Makati. Whether you are looking for a hotel for a quick relaxing stay, for business purposes, or an event, the Makati Shangri-La is always among the top choices.
- Hotel Durban. A hotel that gives value for money, the Hotel Durban is a lower-priced hotel that provides everything that you want in a hotel. This is a small but chic hotel compared to other hotels in Makati but many find their stay worth it.
- New World Makati Hotel. Conveniently located just across Greenbelt shopping center, the New World Makati Hotel is a true five-star hotel that offers excellent rooms, services, and food. The steeper price that this hotel commands is commensurate with the quality of service and amenities that it provides.
- Fairmont Makati. Another new hotel, the Fairmont hotel is actually located in the same complex as the Raffles hotel and both are owned by the same company. Apparently, they share more than location and owner because Fairmont Makati is also being lauded for the six-star hotel experience that it provides.
