Don't miss the view over the city from the rooftop Skydeck bar.
Lonely Planet "While a boutique hotel within Intramuros' old walls may not suit the area, the Bayleaf is rightfully popular for its rooms decked out in vibrant colour schemes." Full review

"The specs: Two hotels with shared common areas, housed in a new high-rise in the fast-growing (though still somewhat sketchy) business and shopping district of Makati." Full review

The highlight of the café is its namesake, the macaron — be sure to try the Filipino flavors queso de bola (edam cheese) and burong mangga (fermented mangoes).
Lonely Planet "The slightly less swanky sister of the Raffles Makati, the Fairmont nonetheless impresses with downy-soft bathrobes, futuristic bedside control panels and personal coffee makers in all rooms." Full review
