Expert tip
Plan for peak-hour traffic. Heavy traffic, which is typically between 7-10am and 5-10pm, can make what was a 15-minute journey from the airport to your hotel, an hour or more back the other way. Check with your hotel to give yourself enough time to avoid a missed flight!

Quezon City
It doesn’t get trendier and more exciting than Quezon City, northeast of the city centre. This area is for you if you’re keen on shopping at boutiques, being part of the energetic nightlife and hanging out at popular cafés and restaurants. The University Hotel at the University of the Philippines Diliman is ideal for young backpackers and is surprisingly welcoming and cosy, while the Seda Vertis North is the ultimate luxury hotel with all the frills!
Makati
First-timers flock to Makati because it’s one of the neighbourhoods packed with exciting things to do in Manila. It offers accommodation options to suit most budgets. Two good choices are The Peninsula Manila, a five-star hotel with plush suites and a world-class onsite spa, and the charming Park Avenue Guesthouse 2443, a 1920s Spanish-style residence that is all about home comforts and a quiet stay despite the busy-ness of Makati.
Intramuros
Staying inside the little walled city of Intramuros is an experience to brag about! Just be sure to book your accommodation well in advance, as the providers are limited. White Knight Hotel Intramuros is a good choice if you’d like something simple, affordable and conveniently located. It’s right in the middle of Intramuros for easy access to all the best sights. If you’d prefer something more lavish, set your sights on The Bayleaf Intramuros, a four-star hotel offering fancy rooftop dining. It’s won numerous TravelAdvisor Travellers’ Choice Awards over the years.
