Five star hotels in Metro Manila are located either in Makati or in the tourist belt, mostly on or near Roxas Blvd.
The rates of all five star hotels are given in US dollars. 13.7 % tax and 10 % service charge are added.
Groups of 15 or more people get bigger discounts in five star hotels than in luxury or moderate hotels. They may pay as little as 36 % of the walk-in rate at some five star hotels.

Remarks: convenient location on Roxas Blvd, just across from the Cultural Center and Convention Center; on Sundays, parts of Roxas Blvd are closed to traffic and reserved for joggers - the Holiday Inn provides a joggers' map for those who want to participate; the route through the Cultural Center Complex is sporting and sightseeing in one; those who think jogging in the city is odd must be reminded that Roxas Blvd probably is the least polluted stretch of the city as there is always a fresh sea breeze carrying away the pollution; for those who don't want to jog looking on alone is fun
