Why guests love itFor a birthday dinner, a couple booked City Garden Grand Hotel and took a table at the rooftop restaurant overlooking Makati's skyline. Earlier in the afternoon they swam in the rooftop pool, then dressed for dinner as the towers lit up around them. The city-view room kept the skyline in sight even after they went back down. The evening atmosphere on the roof was lively, which they enjoyed, though those wanting stillness might find it busy.
