5. The Manila Hotel

- The Grand Dame of Manila, with more than 100 years of history, it is one of the most

isdressed in traditional Filipiniana robes. Guests are addressed professionally, which can
be a little stiff at times, but it fits in perfectly with the old-time ambience. On the bay side
of the hotel, there is a fitness center and a medium-sized pool. With plenty of sun
loungers and a pool bar, it also offers spa and wellness. From the moment you walk into
the ballroom-like foyer, the hotel exudes old-world elegance. It doesn't take much
imagination to see Ernest Hemingway, a past visitor, sipping a tipple in one of the seating
nooks, due to the classic brass chandeliers, mahogany furniture, and Philippine marble
floors. Despite her traditional appearance, this Grand Dame has aged nicely and is far
from antique. It deserves to be in the top list because of its services and its history.
