Booked the Peninsula for one night transit to Europe for our Honeymoon. Nice hotel with a spectacular lobby (Christmas decorations were wonderful) but somewhat disappointing room even though I booked a deluxe. It was functional and the bathroom was nice, but it did not quite look like a deluxe in a 5-star hotel.
Another reason I did not give it 5 stars was that there was almost nowhere to sit in the lobby if you were not dining. Most tables were pre-booked by non-residents and to have a drink we had to go to one of their bars which was a weird experience as we were the only ones there and the place looked like somewhere the Munsters would live and had to put up with soccer on the screen. After one expensive drink we left! Breakfast while varied, was a bit of a zoo and food not so fresh.
Still, we appreciated the cake in our room and had an overall nice stay.

In one word this hotel is simply unbelievable!
The staff are so well trained they seem to be able to be one step ahead of you wherever you are in the hotel. From the time of check in At probably the busiest time of the year from check in to check out the service was faultless and worth every cent. Lovely quintet playing above the lobby area , not too noisy just right.
Our room which included a large lounge, was ultra quiet and the beds perfect.
I could not recommend this hotel any higher- just amazing.

Our stay in October 2021 was met with a string of disappointments mainly due to resourcing and coordination challenges. Management was very open to feedback and delivered on their promise to ensure we have an elevated experience in our next stay.

This will always be an unforgettable staycation as Peninsula Manila gave us a warm and cozy welcome as we hosted family birthdays and a belated anniversary celebration.

Special thanks to Marcel & Christina who, while no longer part of the Manila group, helped sort out arrangements, to Miguel who helped prepare for our stay, and to Angel who helped assist with our brunch reservation at the Escolta.
