Voting Criteria

As COVID-19 restrictions lifted, Travel + Leisure conducted the World’s Best Awards survey from January 11 to May 10, 2021. Every year, the New York-based publication asks readers to give their thoughts on the best travel experiences from across the globe. Hotels are rated based on their facilities, location, service, food, and overall value. The location and features of the properties determined whether they were categorized as city or resort.

The Verdict

“A grande dame in the center of Manila’s business district, this opulent hotel has 497 rooms and suites, eight restaurants and bars, a spa and fitness center, and an outdoor pool surrounded by tropical gardens,” the publication wrote. In addition, they commended the attentive staff of the Manila Peninsula that were always ready to help guests.

45 Years in the Business

“45 years of commitment to service, heritage, and excellence, The Peninsula Manila has been built on the strength of values and delighting guests. Today and always, The Peninsula Manila remains to delight you and make every guest feel like family with warmth, hospitality, and impeccable service,” stated the management. “Thank you for celebrating countless milestones with us, here’s to countless more!”

The 5-star hotel located in Makati first opened its doors in 1976.
