MANILA, Philippines — Seven luxury hotels and resorts in the Philippines have been included in the prestigious Michelin Guide’s recommendations, according to the Department of Tourism (DOT).

City of Dreams-Nobu Hotel Manila, Grand Hyatt Manila and The Westin Manila, as well as Piece Lio El Nido and The Funny Lion El Nido in Palawan, Sheraton Cebu Mactan Resort and The Lind Boracay joined the list.

Twenty luxury hotels and resorts from the Philippines are featured on the Michelin Guide website at present.
