This is the only hotel we are allowed to stay in while in Manila... so company decides, then company pays...

Me again.
Can anyone who's stayed at the Renaissance or the Mandarin Oriental Makati please comment on its amenities and location?
It's going for a good rate, and as I'm only there for a night I'd rather not pay for the Pen or the Shang.

Keithmel,
They're both in the same 4* category as the Intercon and Dusit (with Shangrila-Makati being 5*). For just one night, the difference in room quality between Rennaisance and Mandarin should be a non-issue. You're not going to open all your luggages and use all the hangers in the closet, anyway... ;-)
I would pick Rennaisance even though Mandarin has nicer in-hotel F&B options. Right across the street from Rennaisance is the Greenbelt area which has lots of F&B places. Mandarin is closer to the office buildings than to Greenbelt, about four blocks (HUGE blocks) away.

Thanks, SQ4vr.
I've gone ahead to book the Renaissance based on various reviews. I agree that the location is more important for such a short stay. I'm glad that I seem to have made the right choice.

Walk across the Ren and into Greenbelt, and out to the Havana Club, one of the best club to hang out in the evenings..... lively place... cuban cigars at 20 buck a pop.....
