if shopping is your priority, hotels along pasay road would be best since its closest to greenbelt and glorietta malls where there are plenty of shopping and dining options. these include tower inn, el cielito, and crown regency.
jag, i actually wrote about the launch of that hotel. cant remember the name. all i remember is that its expensive.
city garden is good value for money but too far from shopping but real close to the girly bars.
depends on what you want.

you guys are talking about Hotel Celeste ,cor of Pasay Road and Makati ave. I agree with Jigo and others that if you are looking for legit shopping and not the human type, i would recommend any of the hotels in Pasay road or Makati ave area (except Burgos st). you can look at Hotel and Vacation Reviews - TripAdvisor and search for Makati hotels, I think they list 40+ and include the ones along Pasay Road (aka Arnaiz Ave)
You got it right kwhkg, I`m not into shopping for 2 legged live creatures...
Tripadvisor is very helpful but problem is, it`s difficult to tell which part of Makti or Pasay the hotels are in.Finding the streets on the map is tricky, at least to me.
I was looking at Saint Illian`s Inn, it got very good reviews but turns out there`s no smoking in the rooms, my significant other is not happy to go for a smoke on the floor`s veranda.
On my search I came across some quirky hotels I think this tops the list:
Victoria Court the Best Motel and Hotel in the Philippines

maybe here lies the confusion: there is a pasay city. but we are talking about the former pasay road, now called arnaiz ave, that has hotels and is near two malls called glorietta and greenbelt. hth.

first no hotel that I know allows smoking in the rooms anymore, 2nd re victoria court their main focus is by the hour rooms and 3rd saint illiians is sort of off the beaten track in Makati, As noted above if you want convenience to shopping look for address on Arnaiz (aka Pasay road) or Makati Ave, otherwiase you will be taking a taxi everywhere
city garden has smoking rooms

My wife and I stayed at Saint Illian`s last year. Tiny rooms and small bathrooms but overall very good value. Our taxi driver from the airport had a bit of a hard time finding the place as the street is a bit dark at night and as mentioned off the main part of Makati City. But it was still a quick taxi ride to Glorietta/Green Belt and we didn't have any trouble taking a jeepnies/buses to the Mall of Asia.
