Clipper Hotel

Manila


The Clipper keeps it classy despite being steps away from seedy P Burgos St. The two quirky, windowless singles resemble boat cabins, with flat-screens built into the beds. The 12 roomy doubles are very white and bright, with parquet floors. Booking sites offer big discounts here.

For something even classier, target the Clipper's nearby sister property, La Casita Mercedes, a B&B in a beautifully restored 1930s house.
