Guest sentiment
A 123-room Art Deco boutique hotel on Roxas Boulevard, built in 1939 as Manila's tallest building, with themed floors and Manila's only MICHELIN Guide-recommended stay.
Last updated August 8, 2026
Admiral Hotel Manila - MGallery Collection occupies a 1939 Art Deco building on Roxas Boulevard facing Manila Bay, once the city's tallest building and a golden-era hub for Manila's elite before its reimagining as a boutique hotel. The 123 rooms, including 6 executive suites and the Dona Presidential Suite, span floors each themed around a different Filipino tradition, and the hotel runs a Golden Era heritage tour by vintage 1951 Buick. Admiral Hotel Manila is the only hotel in the city to earn a MICHELIN Guide recommendation (2024 and 2025) and was named 2024 Asia's Leading Design Hotel by the World Travel Awards, with guests consistently praising the distinctive Filipino-Spanish Art Deco design and Manila Bay views.
