Or ask for a match to Diamond with Hilton and book Conrad.
But I rather think of something about 100 USD/night in this case. Which leaves me with IHG (and in Manila all their hotels are hopeless) or GHA. (The only other chain would be Shangri-la, but it doesn't match AFAIK, or even if they do, Jade will be useless.)
