Manila Hotels

[Hogosha]

Hi fellas,

I searched this hotel but came up empty. Girl friendly or no?

Hi friends,

can you suggest which is better, Shangri LA or the peninsula in terms of girl friendly nearby access to shopping and Inhouse massage.

Also suggest for night life where I can go, I would love to try both local and foreign.

Any inputs will be greatly appreciated.

Depend which Shangri La but then if you had RTFF you would know that.

This forum is one of the best for information and a 10 minutes look would easily tell you all you need to know.

Hey gents,

I thought I would ask about the Heritage Hotel in Edsa. I'm looking to break my routine of staying near Burgos (when in Manila) and want to try / work the Edsa Entertainment Complex. I've read in the past certain hotels in this area are very close to the complex and so those would be of interest to me. I'm also looking to explore the area by foot and wondering how safe it is around there. Any hotel suggestions would be much appreciated.

Also how close are these hotels to LA Cafe or any other FL scenes. Thanks.

I wouldn't stay at the friends hotel. All hotels are girl friendly. Book your room for 2 people. Always walk into the hotel like the girl is a long time friend and no one will notice.

You are staying at an upscale hotel, so learn to discreetly "palm" your tip and shake hands with the doorman / security person, if you haven't yet. Best to palm / hand shake tip anywhere.

Good luck.

That is great advice. When I get to a hotel where I plan to be taking girls back, I always try to tip the doormen the first night I'm there, and make it a good tip. They are always very attentive and flexible.

Dear all,

Will be back in Manila for a quick trip of 2 nights to see a friend who is staying with family in Ascott Makati. Any suggestions as to hotel for Girl Friendly angle, as I want to bring back some one for the night.

Stayed close to La Cafe last time. Looking to get someone from there again.

Thanks in advance for your suggestions.

Osaka.

Stay in Makati near your friend (but not same hotel) and try Havana or Burgos or wechat FL. Hotels are New World / Peninsular or even Holiday Inn. Jinjang Inn slightly cheaper and not so nice.

I get a girl in hop Inn Makati without any ID. We just walked in, noone asked anything.

....

Personally with a P4 P girl I feel better if they ask for ID and check with you when they leave. Nice ti know that the desk has your back.

Depends on how much you value $100?

$100 compared to what? $100 = LT. I like LT.

Raffles is the most upscale place I've ever stayed in the Philippines. The room furnishings / accoutrements are beautiful; the floor butlers pretty much attend to most requests instantly and the privacy is absolute. That said, I don't think the price difference between Raffles and the Fairmont (same location / attached buildings) is worth it. I've never stayed in the Pen so can't comment on the specific difference about which you asked.

Choosing between the pen and raffles.

Which one is more girl friendly?

Is raffles worth roughly 100 $ more per night?

BTW for an old red planet enthusiast I found hop Inn really better. Room is very big compared to rp, good amenities and half price.

Hop Inn rooms are bigger but I love the RP showers. Therefore I stay at RP.

I never stayed in Raffles. I enjoyed the Peninsula and didn't have any problems with girls but Raffles has a better location for getting around. I thought the Peninsula was a great price for what it offered. Nice bar by the pool.

Did you RTFF as there is plenty on the options and GFE all through the threads. AS you last FR was 2016 asking about hotels in Thailand am sure you are busy and can't RTFF and write FRs?

Or send a PM to Pompetus as he knows a lot of this. You have a PM yes?
