City Garden Grand Hotel

Manila


This 32-storey high-rise is the smartest choice in Poblacion. Even the cheaper rooms have desks, sleek TVs, polished wood floors, shag rugs and floor-to-ceiling mirrors, plus surprising extras like bathrobes and bathtubs. The spacious roof deck has a pool and the swanky Firefly Roofdeck Bar. Service is exceptional.

Breakfast is P800 extra per person. You might get a 15% discount if booking in person – be sure to ask. Or pay up for a room with a view.
