Raffles Makati

Top choice in Manila


Two five-star hotels in one skyscraper. The Raffles consists of 32 stunning suites on the 9th and 10th floors. They feature high ceilings, wooden floorboards, stand-alone baths with city views and on-call butlers. Its opulent palm-lined pool is straight out of a Beverly Hills mansion. Beneath the Raffles, the sister Fairmont is just a small step down in luxuriousness.

Rates at the Raffles include evening cocktails and high tea at its Writers Bar. You'll also find the Long Bar here, with arguably Manila's best happy hour. Also has one of Manila's best brunch buffets.
