More about Renaissance Makati City Hotel
Renaissance Makati City Hotel (Part 2)

Personally, I enjoyed my stay at the Renaissance Makati City Hotel and would recommend to anyone who wants to stay at a good hotel in the Makati area. I paid about US$105 (excluding taxes) per night because I attended a meeting at the hotel.
Another thing you need to take note is that the security guards are rather strict about taking photos of the hotel lobby. They will allow you to take if you are inside the photo, but you cannot take photos without anyone in it (I managed to take a few photos before the security approach me).

The Renaissance Makati City Hotel is a very good 5-star hotel located at the heart of the Makati shopping area. In fact, the Greenbelts shopping area is just next to the hotel, and the big Glorietta shopping complex and Landmark shopping centre are just across the road. The Ayala Museum is also very near.
The rooms are very cosy and the upper floors have great views of the skycrapers of the Makati area. The breakfast is great with lots of variety, including the smoked salmon (and other smoked fishes) which are very delicious. Most important of all, the staff of this hotel are very courteous and helpful. They will make it a point to greet you when they see you, and are extremely helpful.
The only downside with hotels in the Makati area is that security is very tight. Whenever you enter the hotel main door, they need to scan you and your belongings. Please go to part 2 of this tip.
Great location!

Pros:
It'a been a year since I stayed at the Renaissance Makati Hotel. When I stayed there I booked it through the marriott official website since it was owned by
Marriott Hotels and still is. I got good rates of $114.00 dollars a night. Even
breakfast was included. They just replaced all the beds with their "heavenly"
beds. Location was great since its right accross from the mall.
Cons: Too bad its not part of Starwood Hotels. Therefore you cannot get points rewards for Starwood but only Marriott rewards points.
Great location and value, Club Level perks
by TripAdvisor Member MuttleyMiles
First of all, for the price you pay, you get a lot at the Renaissance Makati (I'm used to paying US$150+ at the Courtyard where I travel!). The rooms are above average, the bathroom with its separate shower and tub was nice, and service I thought was also above average. Having stayed at several Four Seasons properties, you can't compare the service, but you also can't compare the prices as they are typically 3 to 4 times as expensive!
As a Marriott Gold member, I was able to get access to the superb Club Level, where fresh fruits, made to order omelettes, and other tasty items were available at no charge in the morning. It was nice taking in the view of the Manila skyline while enjoying a fantastic breakfast. I loved the automatic espresso machine there! Internet access on the Club Level was also complimentary, however, it was down on a couple of occasions.
As other reviewers noted, the location is excellent, with restaurants and shops all around the hotel. The beds were comfortable (I was upgraded to a Superior Deluxe) with just the right amount of firmness. Overall, the hotel is great bargain, and if you have Gold or Platinum status, it's even better!

What the Renaissance Makati has going for it is a great location. It's right across the street from Greenbelt Park which is a series of shopping malls with mid to upscale brands, dozens of cafes, clubs and restaurants, service outlets (e.g. beauty salons, couriers, dry cleaners) and cinemas. Another large shopping area, Glorietta is a mere 5 minute walk away.
I stayed in a deluxe room which has 2 twin beds. In terms of size the room is pretty standard, smaller compared to the hotels built earlier, but not cramped at all. In terms of decor and ambiance, it's a bit ordinary. Not that it's tacky or bare, maybe just a bit lacking in character. The hotel has recently changed its beds, duvets and pillows, and having stayed here before, I find the new bedding definitely more cozy and comfortable.
Service is efficient and prompt, housekeeping requests were attended to quickly. The breakfast and lunch buffets offer dozens of options -- filipino, continental, chinese, japanese and is at par with hotels of similar standard. I booked an event at one of their function rooms and required a special menu for this. The Renaissance's Executive Chef was very gracious and gave us numerous options within our budget which were all so delicious that it was difficult to make the final choice.
Overall, the Renaissance is the best choice among the Makati hotels in terms of location. If you are looking for convenience and accessibilty, this is the place to stay. However if you're looking for the wow factor -- something more distinct, impressive and/or different, there are better choices in the area.
