THE LUXURY TRAVELER
As a Filipino accustomed to deep hospitality, you might be looking for this same high level of warm-heartedness and willingness to offer only the best to guests. In your search for that same generosity elsewhere, you choose to stay in luxury hotels that stand out for their iconic location, exclusive amenities, and exceptional service. If you are this type of traveler, then you most likely consider hotels as the destination in themselves, rather than just a place to sleep and leave their luggage.
Aside from its old-world elegance, architectural wonder, and use of modern technology, Raffles Singapore is renowned for its exceptional facilities and services which led to its number 1 ranking in the Luxury Stay category of the Asian rankings – from the resident historian who will regale you with legendary stories, to the historic Long Bar where the Singapore Sling – regarded as the country’s national cocktail – was born.

Revel in the coastal splendor of InterContinental Danang Sun Peninsula Resort—luxury rooms, suites, penthouses and villas, exclusive lounges, an art gallery and other rich amenities.

Designed after a traditional Balinese village, Amandari is said to be the first resort to showcase the rich local culture and village life, with its thatched-roof suites and coconut and teak wood furnishings and accents. Along with its tranquil gardens and forest, this hotel also offers activities for the cultural immersion of its guests.
FAMILY FRIENDLY
Filipinos are very family-oriented, giving great import to those dearest to our hearts. On travel, you are always making sure to haul the entire family and anyone you love wherever you go, wanting to share the newness and excitement of the experience. If you have Filipino blood coursing through your veins, you might well be this kind of family-oriented traveler. These hotels can help you balance entertainment for kids, adventure for adults, and exciting experiences for all ages.

SOCIAL MEDIA TRAVELER
Younger Filipinos love sharing their new encounters with friends and followers on their social media accounts, whether it is a new restaurant, a different spa and massage experience, a unique activity or sport. If you are this type of traveler, you’ll find much reward in hotels that offer unique designs, photogenic spots, and immersive experiences perfect for your social media feed.
World famous for its iconic, unique architecture, Marina Bay Sands’ stunning features earn it the top spot in the Instagrammable Stays section not just in the Asia list, but the World list as well. From within the hotel, the rooms themselves are just too photogenic not to share photos on your social media account. From hand-painted silk wall covers and the lovingly furnished interiors, to paintings, sculptures and down to the hand-hammered brass fruit bowls.
The 5th most Instagrammable stay in Asia, the Okada Manila takes deep pride in its world-class leisure and entertainment offerings.
