Hotel information
The Peninsula Academy programme gives guests an in-depth insight into Filipino culture, history, arts and cuisine, and offers classes for children and adults alike.
Accommodation at The Peninsula is spacious and stylish, with neutral and modern décor and amenities including flat-screen television, in-room controls and marble bathrooms. The largest guestrooms, Grande Deluxe Rooms sit at the corners of the hotel and are bathed with natural light from double windows. For the ultimate in comfort, privacy and luxury, opt for an Executive Suite featuring a spacious living room and a walk-in wardrobe. For the best views, we recommend requesting an odd-numbered room on a high floor.
Workout in the gym, relax in the spa, or head to the palm-lined pool for a swim. Order refreshments at the Pool Bar and lounge beside the water on a plush sun-lounger. Elsewhere you’ll find a plethora of other refreshment options, an international buffet at Escolta, pan-Asian cuisine at Spices, and enjoy Mediterranean flavours at sophisticated Old Manila. Don’t miss the Peninsula Boutique, which serves signature handmade chocolates and baked goods.
