Notes

Generally considered one of the top hotels in Metro Manila.  Good restaurants and an ambiance blending classic elegance with modernity and a hint of the Orient has made it a popular meeting place and venue for special occasions.  Although highly regarded its popularity does make me wonder if perhaps the hotel has become slightly overrated.  It's pricier than other excellent hotels in the area and the larger number of people it attracts places greater burdens on its ability to maintain excellent service; but it's widely recognized and its location puts it in the middle of the city's action.  Good hotel for people who like to be at the center of it all but maybe not optimal for someone looking to be somewhat farther removed from the hustle and bustle.

Hotel room rates may vary.  For a superior room, one is looking at prices in the range of 8,500 pesos to 12,000 pesos or more (~$200–$300)  not including extra fees which may or may not include a buffet breakfast at Circles depending on the type of client.

A Club Gourmet membership gives discounts and may be beneficial for frequent visitors to the hotel and its restaurants and facilities.

The Shangri-La hotel in Makati should not be confused with its sister hotel the Edsa Shangri-La Manila located in Ortigas Center in Mandaluyong or the unaffiliated Shangri-La Restaurant on West Avenue in Quezon City.
