At the junction of Ayala and Makati avenues, The Peninsula Manila has occupied a central position in the Philippine capital since 1976. Rooms and suites combine classical proportions with Filipino materials and artwork, while the grand lobby remains one of the property’s principal gathering spaces. Old Manila serves contemporary international cooking, Spices focuses on Southeast Asian dishes, and Escolta provides buffet dining beside the lobby’s afternoon tea service. A garden swimming pool, fitness centre and spa create a substantial leisure area within the business district. Greenbelt’s shops, restaurants and park are within walking distance, with the surrounding towers of Makati forming the outlook from many upper floor rooms.
