What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
the finest hotels in town have long been classic-style grand hotels like the Admiral, a tribute to the city’s Golden Age…
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
The boulevard sits right against the Manila Bay promenade, with the walled district of Intramuros a short drive away.
The rooms
Clean Art Deco lines frame contemporary Filipino artwork, and executive rooms look straight across Manila Bay.
The pool and hammam
Bring a swimsuit.
A rooftop infinity pool looks across Manila Bay, and the spa houses an ornate marble hammam.
The spa
Private treatment suites house mosaic soaking tubs, and therapies draw on Japanese scalp rituals and local Pili Ani oils.
Dogs stay too.
Bar
Ruby Wong's Godown
This subterranean speakeasy hides behind a bookcase, serving dim sum and cocktails beneath glowing red Chinese lanterns.
At the table
Admiral Club serves meals under an angled glass atrium, and Coconut Grove pours sundowners on the pool deck.
How it began
Architect Fernando H. Ocampo built the original 1939 landmark, which hosted Douglas MacArthur before a complete 2022 reconstruction.
