Hive Hotel

Top choice in Manila


The lower-budget sister of Cocoon is hardly a downgrade. Rooms are slightly smaller, but efficiently designed with open closets and lovely room dividers in trademark purple-and-orange. Recycled hardwood floors, downy beds and noise-reducing felt wall panelling ensure you'll sleep soundly and in style. Adjoining rooms available. Bonus points for the wall of Lonely Planet books in the airy lobby.

Strategic use of solar power and other engery- and water-saving techniques make this one of Manila's greenest hotels.
