5 Star Hotels in Manila
Top neighbourhoods in Manila
Intramuros
Step back in time as you wander Intramuros, Manila's 16th-century walled city packed with Spanish colonial charm. Fort Santiago's dungeons, Manila Cathedral's baroque grandeur, and San Agustin Church's stone carvings tell fascinating stories of the Philippines' past. Horse-drawn kalesas clip-clop along cobblestone streets while museums and cultural performances bring history to vibrant life. Colonial-themed restaurants serve delicious Filipino-Spanish fusion in atmospheric heritage buildings. Most attractions are within easy walking distance, though the cobblestone streets can be uneven. For a truly immersive experience, stay in one of the boutique hotels housed in restored colonial mansions.
Malate
Malate delivers Manila's nightlife magic with bars and live music spots clustered around Remedios Circle and Adriatico Street. This cultural hub boasts the historic Malate Church, Manila Zoo, and art galleries that showcase Filipino heritage. College energy from De La Salle and UP-Manila campuses mingles with the neighborhood's budget-friendly vibe. Getting around is a breeze with two LRT stations and plenty of jeepneys cruising the streets. Affordable hostels and mid-range hotels cater to every budget traveller. Food options range from sizzling street-side barbecue to traditional Filipino restaurants that keep serving well into the night.
Ermita

Binondo
Discover the world's oldest Chinatown in Binondo, where incense-scented temples neighbour Spanish colonial churches and colourful shophouses. Ongpin Street buzzes with vendors selling everything from traditional medicines to gold jewellery. Foodies flock here for authentic Chinese-Filipino cuisine, from steaming dim sum to fresh lumpia that'll make your taste buds dance. Finding a meal in Binondo is an adventure all its own, with hole-in-the-wall noodle shops and bakeries selling warm hopia pastries. Most visitors explore on foot despite the crowds, as narrow alleys hide the best treasures. While accommodation is limited within Binondo itself, nearby districts offer plenty of options just a short ride away.
Quiapo
