You can enjoy amenities, business facilities, healthy menus, recreation, and relaxation at their fitness studio, spa, and outdoor swimming pool. They also have an all‑day dining restaurant, a Spanish‑inspired rooftop restaurant, an al fresco bar, and a casual yet elegant lounge with an outdoor veranda.

"The Westin Manila brings a wellness-forward perspective to Ortigas Center, one of Metro Manila’s busiest commercial districts. Rooms are generously sized and insulated from the city’s buzz, with floor-to-ceiling windows, soft-toned interiors, and the brand’s signature Heavenly Beds," Michelin's description reads.

"Natural textures and greenery run throughout the hotel, from the spa to the light-filled lobby. Families and business travelers will appreciate the practical comforts, like a lavender sleep balm at turndown and a pet-friendly program with dog beds and menus in the dining areas," it added.

NUSTAR Hotel Cebu

Leave it to Cebu to give us some high-class hospitality with a splash of island flair. NUSTAR Hotel is a luxury destination located on Kawit Island with rooms that have full-length windows where you can see vistas of Cebu City or spectacular seascapes.

"NUSTAR Hotel’s rooms and suites are oversized, with deep soaking tubs and floor-to-ceiling windows that look out over sea or skyline. And while the atmosphere is design-hotel hip, it’s also relaxed and unhurried — though the energy picks up in the tasting room, lounge, and pool villas," Michelin's description reads.
