4. Midas Hotel and Casino
Image credit: Midas Hotel and CasinoIf we ask you to list down the things you look for a nice rainy day staycation, we’re almost positive that it’ll include being in a place of intimacy. Being a boutique hotel, Midas Hotel and Casino guarantees to make you feel exactly that because of its smaller build, in general, that’ll make you want to focus on yourself more – one thing you will likely miss in huge international hotels. To prove that, their toiletries even have encouraging quotes written on them to help you have all the reflection time you need.

5. Lotus Garden Hotel

Not generally known to most travellers, the hotel, however, sees to it that all staycationers are still active in their stay through a fitness gym equipped with a treadmill, elliptical machine and free weights. You can also choose to play billiards at their Extension Building for more entertainment, or dip in their Jacuzzi for added relaxation.

6. Ramada Manila Central
Image credit: Ramada Manila CentralRamada Manila Central is the first and only standing international hotel at the world’s oldest Chinatown. Although not as big as the other hotels in this list, it makes up for its excellent services and location, which I consider as another vital factor for a good staycation. It doesn’t always mean locking yourself inside your room and cuddled up in sheets, but being able to find a place that has so much in it that you wouldn’t think twice of going any farther. Yes, we’re talking about the numerous indoor attractions like the shopping centres and restaurants of Binondo itself which are enough to get you busy while being on “vacation” on a not-so-sunny day.

7. F1 Hotel Manila
