"This legendary hotel will appeal to World War II history buffs. One of the oldest buildings in the capital, it once hosted General Douglas MacArthur."

Don't miss the view over the city from the rooftop Skydeck bar.

"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."
