Edsa Shangri-La, Manila

"These two white towers are set in a tropical garden in the shopping and residential Ortigas Center district. Interiors have marble floors, wooden rails, Asian paintings, and floral arrangements. "The exteriors are a bit nondescript, but it's so beautiful inside." Rooms in the Tower Wing set the tone with hues of brown and red and cityscape views; the Garden Wing has views of either the cityscape or the hotel's landscaped gardens. "Service is always excellent." Multiple restaurants offer a variety of cuisines, from Japanese at Senju to Cantonese at Summer Palace to Italian at Paparazzi, where framed black-and-white images of Hollywood and European celebrities hang on the walls. Chi, the spa, has an herbal steam room and suites with sunken tubs."
