A hotel stay can be about more than a room. At Okada Manila, guests can dine, relax, spend time with family, catch a show, or simply find a new reason to linger.
More Than A Place To Stay
That all-in-one approach helped it earn the Best Hotel – Manila title at the 35th Annual TTG Travel Awards 2026. The awards recognize hotels and travel brands based on votes from travel consultants, tour operators, and destination management companies across Asia Pacific.
Unlike awards with a fixed list of nominees, the TTG Travel Awards allow eligible travel professionals to choose the hotel they believe meets the award criteria. These include service and facilities, value-added benefits, and the professionalism and innovation of a hotel’s sales and marketing team.
One Destination, Many Experiences
Located on a 30-hectare property, the hotel brings together 1,001 rooms, suites, and villas with more than 40 dining options, wellness facilities, shopping, entertainment, family activities, and event spaces.
“Being named Best Hotel – Manila is especially meaningful because it reflects the complete experience we create for our guests,” said Nobuki Sato, President and Chief Operating Officer of Okada Manila.
Whether guests arrive for a weekend escape, a family trip, a celebration, or a business event, there are plenty of ways to spend the day without leaving the property.
Food lovers can explore restaurants such as MICHELIN Selected Ginza Nagaoka, while those looking to slow down can visit The Retreat Spa. Meanwhile, The Promenade, The Fountain, The Garden, and the resort’s pools offer more spaces to explore.
For families, Thrillscape and Okada Kids Club bring play and entertainment into the mix.
A Stay To Remember
Beyond its facilities, Okada says its guest experience is shaped by a combination of Japanese attention to detail and Filipino warmth.
The resort also offers event venues, year-round entertainment, wellness spaces, and a range of dining and shopping experiences, giving guests different ways to build their stay around what matters to them.
For Sato, the recognition ultimately comes back to the people behind the experience.
“We want every part of their stay to feel considered and memorable,” he said. “This recognition belongs to our team members, whose dedication brings that experience to life every day.”
With so much happening within one destination, Okada Manila’s latest recognition highlights an idea that travelers increasingly look for: sometimes, the best part of a getaway is having more to discover once you arrive.
