PB hotel design editorial

Few addresses in Southeast Asian hospitality carry the geopolitical weight of the corner of Ayala Avenue and Makati Avenue, where The Peninsula Manila has anchored the Philippine financial district since 1976. The twin brutalist towers — raw concrete, emphatic horizontal banding, and a symmetrical forecourt of tiered fountains and royal palms — were designed by the local firm Recio + Casas, and their monumental paired massing gives the property an institutional gravity that later glass-clad neighbours have not diminished. The ceremonial entrance, visible in the aerial image, borrows the language of a European civic palazzo while remaining entirely tropical in its planting, a combination that felt deliberate then and reads as confident now. Inside, the 497 rooms follow the Peninsula group's characteristic idiom: dark-stained mahogany millwork, pearl-grey carpet, and white walls edged with a thin blue cornice line — a palette that manages to feel both composed and approachable. The guest rooms show rosewood-finished writing desks paired with linen-upholstered armchairs and cane-framed ottomans, the furniture sitting close to the territory of a well-appointed club. The fine dining room, by contrast, turns more theatrical, with an oversized sculptural chandelier in silvered wrought metal suspended above navy carpet inlaid with a geometric border, dark lacquer lattice panels anchoring the far wall. The garden pool, shaded by a deep timber pergola and surrounded by dense tropical planting, offers the property's most convincing counterpoint to the concrete monumentality above it.

"We have always loved our stays in Manila Peninsula. The service is always in great level and they are incredibly welcoming and warm and making sure that everything is good. Nothing seems to be a problem for the staff. This gives you the feeling of luxury and care and you are able to fully relax in this kind of atmosphere. After all the years gone by the lobby of the hotel is still one of the most impressive in the world. We booked grand deluxe room which is on the street side of the hotel. We ended up downgrading our room after the first night to inner court deluxe room which was a better choice for us. Couple of things that made us feel quite sad for their 50th anniversary is that the hotel facilities need a good maintaining. Room was nice and clean but all the towels were greyish and ripping from the sides, shower toiletries were not I the level of a luxury hotel - the shower gel smelled like a dog shampoo. The room needs an update to the power sockets (like int adapters and usb-c). By the pool the service is amazing and guys are really looking after you bringing you water and cold towels, but some of the sunbeds and umbrellas are ripped and very worn out - also in need of maintaining. Gym is very nice and well equipped. The saunas and locker rooms are in need of complete make over. The saunas are definitely in the end our their usage period and lockers can hardly have their doors locked. The food and the service on the restaurants are great. We had breakfast at Escolta every morning and used the pool and lobby restaurants plenty of times."

"This was our fourth time staying in the Peninsula while in Manila and it did not disappoint. The staff is incredible, the lobby is beautiful and the room really nice. Altho we love the hotel, and will most probably choose to stay there also in the future, there are some things the management should adress: there’s a little wear and tear to be seen around, like the towels in the room are quite worn, as are the mattresses and sun shades at the pool. The gym is huge and great (one of the biggest and best hotel gyms I’ve visited) but looking a little worn, too. Also one could see some dents in the bathroom of the room, altho the room itself was in good condition. The breakfast at Escolta was as amazing as always, as was dinner at the Lobby. The hotel is located near to the malls Glorietta and Greenbelt as well as near to a Shoemart, Kultura and a Landmark so we were able to do our shopping and manipedis close by. All in all we enjoyed our stay and can easily recommend the Peninsula."
