"In Manila the boutique-hotel wave is yet to crest; the finest hotels in town have long been classic-style grand hotels like the Admiral, a tribute to the city’s Golden Age and its Filipino-Spanish design heritage. It’s a member of Accor’s MGallery collection, which means it’s got a bit of local personality to go with its Art Deco influence, as well as up-to-date in-room comforts like Bose sound systems and Nespresso coffee machines. The Admiral Club restaurant overlooks Manila Bay from the hotel’s rooftop while Ruby Wong’s Godown is the glamorous subterranean bar and lounge." - Tablet Hotels
