Admiral Hotel Manila - MGallery Collection

Perched on Roxas Boulevard facing Manila Bay, this grand hotel wears its Art Deco bones and Filipino-Spanish heritage without apology, which puts it firmly in a different conversation from the boutique crowd. A member of Accor's MGallery collection, it keeps the classic-hotel atmosphere while adding Bose sound systems and Nespresso machines to the rooms. The rooftop restaurant overlooks the bay, and the subterranean Ruby Wong's Godown handles the glamorous bar shift below.
