Hotels near Makati Downtown, Makati

We only had two days in Manila for the grand finale of our honeymoon before heading back to China. The vibe? Total luxury. We crashed at Discovery Primea, right in the heart of Makati. Our room was spacious, super comfy, and the 24/7 room service was basically a honeymoon dream come true 😂. Just outside the hotel, you're spoiled for choice: a lush park for morning strolls, tons of restaurants, and a massive shopping mall (Glorietta Mall, Ayala Center, Makati—open daily from 10AM to 9PM). We hit up the supermarket inside for a Filipino snacks haul, so our suitcase was loaded with local goodies for the trip home. Why we liked it: - Perfect central location—steps from cafes, shops, and all the action - Rooms are big and super comfy, with ultra-soft beds - Everything is spotless! Clean and fresh vibes everywhere - Loads of restaurants around Discovery Primea—just stroll and pick whatever looks tempting - Stock up on Filipino snacks at Glorietta Mall for the perfect souvenir 📌 Tips - Grab rides are easy and safe—plus, you can pay with Alipay - Don’t stress over the service in some spots, just chase the good food! - Discovery Primea is super convenient for both exploring Makati and chilling out - Double check your bill for extra charges at hotels or restaurants, just in case

I appreciate the hotel’s arrangement for the birthday decorations. However, if there’s a next time, I hope they can pay closer attention to my specific requests, such as assigning a higher-floor room. Regarding housekeeping, I noticed that after having some food in the room at night, a few crumbs remained on the floor. Even after the daytime cleaning service, they were still there, which suggests the cleaning wasn’t done thoroughly. Also, every time you enter the hotel, your belongings are checked for security reasons — which I understand — but it can be slightly bothersome. As for the location, the hotel is very convenient as it’s right across from the Greenbelt shopping mall in the city center. That said, guests should note that the connection between the hotel and the malls other parts is either via outdoor paths or a footbridge, so those sensitive to heat might want to keep that in mind.

Stayed for one night and genuinely understood why people love The Peninsula. The room felt incredibly clean and dry — no humid feeling at all. The bed and sheets were extremely comfortable, and even something as simple as taking a bath felt relaxing here. After weeks of stress and moving around, this stay honestly gave me a rare sense of rest. The atmosphere throughout the hotel was elegant and calm, and everything felt thoughtfully maintained. Definitely one of the most comfortable hotel experiences I’ve had in Manila.

The location is excellent, and the rooftop bar with its amazing view is simply amazing. The room was very clean, as were the hotel’s common areas. The bed was very comfortable. The staff were very friendly and polite. The breakfast  was absolutely delicious. We really enjoyed our stay at this hotel and will definitely choose it again on our next trip to Makati. Thank you!

Central location in Makati! The staff are extremely focused on giving you the best possible stay and service possible. Food was excellent too!

The hotel is a pleasant surprise in the heart of Makati. The hotel facilities are very clean and the lobby is very welcoming. Breakfast in the morning is also very filling (albeit not a buffet breakfast offering). Internet connection at this hotel leaves much to be desired. If you are on a work trip, do not count on being able to do a work call in your room.

Firstly, check-in was annoying since I didn't realize that they required you to send your passport info for all guests before they would send you an authorization letter for entry. So I didn't check-in until after more than an hour upon arrival. The lobby looked nice and had a bellman opening the door for you but the room was just okay. Also, I was greeted upon entering by a cockroach and then more roaches appeared later and even when I was showering. I can't stand roaches so I checked out the very next night. They even questioned me and wanted photos as proof but after later reading other reviews I realized that it's been a recurring problem!

I loved this hotel. It’s lowkey, not exaggerated yet very clean and has the most comfy beds and pillows. Its location is 10/10 near to restobars, restaurants and 7/11. Very convenient, has the nicest staffs. I love the set up of the bed and the warm strays of sunlight through my window.

Location wise, it is the best! There wwre hiccups where in (1) there were drillings at the next door room and I must say it was loud (2) there were issues on the toilet I had to fix it myself. Pro: location.

The room was spacious but I didn’t get enough sleep because of the window towards the hallways. It was too bright. A guest was aggressively trying to open my door while I was asleep so I was left thinking about my life lol please have proper communication with the other guests next time
