Discovery Primea

Manila


This 68-floor tower is Manila's second-tallest building, but don't expect crazy views: the hotel rooms stop at the 17th floor. Still, this is one of the capital's most luxurious addresses, with a mix of opulent doubles and huge, kitchen-equipped suites. The 3rd-floor infinity pool overlooks Urdaneta Village, a leafy gated community, and the Makati skyline beyond.

It's opposite bustling Glorietta Mall but is much quieter and more intimate than Makati's better-known five-star hotels.
