Located in the heart of Makati, the Philippines' financial hub, the hotel's location was quite convenient. The breakfast buffet at Escolta was a delight. I especially liked the fresh coconuts, and a dessert made of tofu, tapioca pearls, and some sweet syrup.
Guests who book through FHR also receive complimentary access for two at The Gallery Club Lounge, where they serve breakfast, afternoon tea, and evening cocktails. Overall, it was a lovely stay.
