The Best Hotels in Parañaque

A Swarovski chandelier greets you at the entrance, which sets the tone for what follows at this all-suite Forbes Five Star hotel tower inside Solaire Resort Entertainment City. Every room is a suite, the design came from a Las Vegas and Macau casino hotel specialist, and the staff uniforms were done by Filipino fashion designer Rajo Laurel. It sits along Manila Bay, and the gambling is right downstairs if that's the draw.

Nobu Matsuhisa's hotel brand landed in Asia first right here, tucked inside the City of Dreams casino complex in Parañaque. The rooms carry that spare, Japanese-inflected calm you'd expect from someone whose business partner once waited five years just to get a yes. There's a Nobu restaurant on-site, plus a spa and outdoor pool for when the casino floor gets to be a lot. Forbes Four Star.

Technically an airport hotel, though few properties wearing that label share a 15-acre casino complex with Crown Towers and Nobu as neighbors. The Hyatt Regency Manila at City of Dreams holds a Forbes Four Star rating and 362 rooms that run genuinely large by any standard. The staff's reputation for meeting every request without apparent strain is the kind of thing guests mention unprompted, which says something.
