The Peninsula Manila
A five-star pool bar in the heart of Makati
About this hotel
The outdoor pool sits at the centre of a wider five-star ecosystem here, backed by a dedicated Pool Bar for a refreshing outdoor dining experience and eight total dining options across the property, from Escolta's international buffet to Old Manila's signature fine dining and Salon de Ning's cocktails. A day can move from a swim to a spa appointment to dinner without leaving the building, all a kilometre from Glorietta and 1.3 km from Greenbelt Mall. Rooms carry city views, air conditioning, and a minibar, with en suite bathrooms fitted with a hairdryer and a bath or shower for guests who want the full five-star routine, right down to a gym and sauna for the mornings between pool sessions.
- Outdoor pool with Pool Bar
- Eight restaurants and bars
- Spa and sauna
- Central Makati location
Our take
Travellers staying here will find one of Makati's most complete pool-and-dining combinations, the Pool Bar in particular suiting guests who want to socialise without leaving the water's edge. It suits business travellers and couples wanting a central, polished base near Glorietta and Greenbelt. Guests on a tighter budget or wanting a quieter condotel-style pool should look toward Pasay instead, since the scale and price here reflect a full five-star property.
- ✓Book a poolside table at the Pool Bar ahead on weekends, Makati's after-work crowd fills it fast.
- ✓Try Old Manila for a signature dinner after a pool afternoon, reservations help on busy nights.
- ✓Walk to Greenbelt or Glorietta for extra dining options if the eight on-site choices feel like plenty already.
Why we love it
- Dedicated Pool Bar beside the outdoor pool
- Eight dining options on site
- Full spa with sauna and hair salon
- A kilometre from Glorietta Mall
Why guests love itThe Peninsula's outdoor pool comes with its own dedicated Pool Bar, a rare standalone amenity even among Makati's five-star towers, and eight separate dining options mean a guest could eat somewhere different every night of a week-long stay. The spa adds a sauna and a hair salon, useful for turning a business trip into something less rushed. Glorietta is about a kilometre away, and rooms carry city views with a choice of bath or shower.
