Raffles - thanks to it's size (32 suites) it's very personal, and I really liked the contemporary huge rooms and bathrooms. And the Raffles Long Bar of course. What it lacks is it's own restaurant, which apparently is in the works. As of now, there's only the large main restaurant which is shared with the Fairmont. But Blackbird (my favorite restaurant in the old Manila Airport building) is just around the corner.
