    The “ONLY 5-Star Hotel”? Not true.
    The Conrad in Manila.
    The Marriott in Newport City.
    The Holiday Inn in Makati and Newport City.
    The Fairmont and Raffles in Makati.
    The GrandHyatt in BGC.
    The Shang Fort in BGC.
    The Shang in Makati.
    The Ascott in BGC.
    The Diamond in Makati.
    The New World in Makati.
    The Marco Polo in Ortigas.
    Okada and Solaire and City of Dreams.

    I'm glad you mentioned that about Manila. There are sections of Manila that really feel like they could be in any world class city. But even in the poorer parts of Manila there are tons of interesting "hole in the wall" places. You can never get bored in Manila.

    Ohhh just wait until the Conrad Manila and the Manila Bay Resort opens...both along Manila Bay- the architecture alone for both of these luxury hotels are jaw dropping!!! The Solarie Resort is also a beautiful luxury bayside hotel and casino! And never forget the venerable Manila Hotel...this historic bayside 5 Star hotel has a registration list that goes back to the Beatles and Ernest Hemingway and General Douglas McArthur to name a few!!!

  • @nikeboy69er
    @nikeboy69er 8 років тому +18

    I'm pretty sure Sofitel isn't the only 5-star hotel in Manila. There are three Shangri-las around town, a Marriott and Maxims near the airport, and a few where the casinos are. But Sofitel is probably the best. That's where Qantas pilots stay so I frequent that property.

    • @fransarj
      @fransarj 8 років тому

      +Andrew Christiansen He meant the only 5 star hotel in the City of Manila. the three shangri-las are in Makati, Taguig, and Pasig. Those three cities, technically, are part of Metro Manila

    • @nikeboy69er

    • @chrismartin1539
      @chrismartin1539 8 років тому +3

      +Andrew Christiansen Yes, You are right. Sofitel is in Pasay. The city of Manila has 5 star hotels - Manila Hotel, Manila Diamond Hotel, Pan Pacific Hotel.

    • @JonBeSport

    Ooh, the Sofitel. Yes Please!... I can't believe you went to the Hobbit House! I was performing in Manila in 1987 with Holiday on Ice, and we went there. They brought us there in a mini horse and cart, but perhaps that was because we were Celebs (lol). And it's STILL there! Good for them. xx

  • @donatskify
    @donatskify 8 років тому +2

    FYI, Sofitel isn't the only 5-star hotel in Manila area (but yes, they have the best smorgasbord buffet). The historic Manila Hotel in Luneta built in 1909 has been in operation since 1912, second only Singapore's Raffles. There's also Pan Pacific, Diamond, New World, plus many others in neighboring metropolitan area. Great vid, btw.

  • @lucillebeckford2067

    I did my research,contacted sofitel manila they said and i quote : "The room below will be only be able to be given or offered if and when, our guest will be booking our Imperial Residence and the rate per night for the rooms will be P429,887.50." Thats like 8500 us dollars.
    From what i see in this video,he didnt have access to all of the rooms. So its either he got upgraded to this room with limited access or he has the money.

    I've been watching your travel videos. I envy your job. Hahah... Hope you can also feature the northern islands of Batanes in the Philippines.
    Sad to say, there's only a few vlogs made for Batanes. And most of them are quite boring. And I love the way you do your vlogs! As you know, that northern most islands province is one of the hardly visited, but best dreamed destinations in the Philippines. We have a saying here that it's cheaper for Filipinos to go to Singapore, Thailand and Hongkong than to go to Batanes. Yes, airfare going there is quite not that affordable for us. Hahah...
    You can check out some of the existing vlogs here on youtube about Batanes, and I can guarantee you, that it will interest you very much to go there.

      @nikeboy69er 8 років тому +1

      +Christian's Travel Vlog Yeah. Maybe a technicality. Like there are around a dozen "cities" that comprise "Metro Manila". Although I think Sofitel is in Pasay and not Manila.
      Unfortunately, Manila city has been left to rot. Most of the life are in the Makati, Pasay, Taguig (BGC) and Quezon City areas. Manila (the city, not the metro area) is probably the filthiest and grittiest part. People only go there for the Chinatown and some history. Even that red light area you showed already feels abandoned. The better ones are at P Burgos in Makati, and Quezon Avenue in Quezon City.
      Tip on using TripAdvisor when in Manila: key in "Metro Manila" instead of just "Manila". You'll get better results.

    That's right. Metro Manila is huge. When someone say they are from Manila, that could mean that they are in Makati or QC or Paranaque. There is a city called Manila within metro Manila but it's ewww. As a foreigner, I would suggest you stay in Makati, BGC or Ortigas so you won't be traumatized. Hehehe.. People could get defensive but that's the truth.
