Holiday Inn Makati club lounge offers privacy
Holiday Inn & Suites Makati provides club lounge amenities for families (during cocktails, only adults are allowed at the lounge). Children 12 years and below "stay and eat free."
However, even for club room guests, the hotel appears to have minimized its bathroom amenities (i.e. toothbrushes available upon request and not anymore automatically included). According to hotel staff, the worldwide chain has issued a new policy with regard to the issuance of such amenities.
Pastries at tea time.
Cheese platter during the cocktail hour.
The breakfast buffet selection at Flavors Restaurant in the hotel lobby offers a much wider selection. The club lounge provides a basic menu that includes bacon and roasted potatoes, greens, and pastries.
