Feel the fine silks and other garments at a curio shop in Ermita. And hear the pulsating sounds flowing from the nightclubs along Roxas Boulevard that runs from Paranaque City to downtown. Looking for a vacation destination with a rich culture, underground indie scene, and stunning architecture? Try Manila. This densely-populated metropolis boasts some of the most historic and significant landmarks in the country.

Manila Hotels

As with any getaway, finding the proper place to stay while on your Manila vacation can be just as important as the attractions you will visit, the places you will eat, and the events you will attend. Here are some of our favorite popular hotels in the Philippines capital that can be included in Travelocity’s vacation packages in Manila:

• Dusit Thani Manila – Centrally located in the Makati central business district, the Dusit Thani is well-positioned for the corporate traveler, with an on-site business center, exchange service, and flexible meeting spaces. Vacationers will appreciate the Devarana Spa, shopping arcade, and six dining options. No matter the reason for your visit, the posh guestrooms at this opulent 5-star hotel will help you end the day in restful slumber.
• Heritage Hotel - Manila – Just steps away from the Mall of Asia, the Blue Bay Walk, and other waterfront attractions along the Libertad Channel, the Heritage is an ideal home base for your Manila adventure. Wander along embassy row on your way to the area’s museums and cultural centers. After you’ve meandered throughout Manila, head back to the Heritage where you’ll find imaginative pieces of abstract art adorning the impressive 5-star property.
• The Peninsula Manila – Historic and refined, this distinguished and much-photographed Manila landmark is as much a destination as its surrounding attractions. The bright and airy guestrooms allow the natural light to cloak the room in sunshine while offering expansive city views. Treat yourself to an attentive session in the Peninsula Spa. And have your kids create a handmade pasalubong souvenir to take back home with an on-site arts-and-crafts class.
• Remington Hotel – The Remington may be conveniently located next to the Manila Ninoy Aquino International Airport, but it is anything but a roadside motel. Designed as an upscale option for the business traveler, the property is more than luxurious enough for a pleasure stay, too. Spend the evening at either the Jardin Garden Club or House Manila nightclubs on-site before retiring to your contemporary guestroom.

From History to Hipster
