A legendary name returns home. In late 2026, Mandarin Oriental will join Manila’s hospitality scene with Mandarin Oriental Makati, Manila. A new address destined to redefine city stays with considered design, Filipino craftsmanship, and immersive moments.
Soaring 98.7 meters above, this 275-room hotel proves more than just another hospitality address. It signals the homecoming of a brand that shaped Manila’s social and cultural heartbeat for nearly forty years. Now reimagined for the modern global traveller.
A New Landmark in Makati
Perfectly positioned at the crossroads of Makati Avenue, Ayala Avenue, and Paseo de Roxas. The hotel is embraced by Ayala Triangle Gardens, presenting a unique blend of luxuriant greenery and lively city energy in Metro Manila’s financial and lifestyle heart.
Step outside and discover luxury shopping at Greenbelt. Acclaimed dining, buzzing cocktail bars, art galleries, cozy cafés, and the lively Salcedo and Legazpi weekend markets. Only 15 minutes from Manila International Airport, the hotel is an excellent launchpad for business or leisure adventures across Asia and beyond.
Suites Inspired by Nature
Every room is inspired by the beauty of the Philippine landscape, seamlessly evolving beyond traditional luxury to capture the spirit of the islands. Inside, Filipino aesthetics come alive through natural materials, rich timber, woven textures, and artisanal finishes—all bathed in gentle natural light. At the same time, floor-to-ceiling windows showcase sweeping views of Makati’s skyline and the garden, naturally blending refinement with the comfort of home.
For instance, the Deluxe Room channels the calm strength of Ayala Triangle’s heritage trees through soothing colors and organic textures. Building on this calmness, the Club Deluxe Room offers upgraded amenities along with exclusive club lounge access, where expansive views capture the mild play of sunlight through the treetops.
Similarly, the Junior Suite captures the elegant motion of the wind through flowing lines and natural textures, creating a roomy retreat perfect for those craving a home-like sanctuary. To take it a step further, the Club Junior Suite elevates the experience with dedicated butler service and premium amenities for truly tailored comfort. In fact, guests in Club Rooms and Suites receive exclusive access to the Mandarin Oriental Club Lounge and bespoke butler service, further showcasing the brand’s renowned attention to detail.
Meanwhile, families find their perfect haven in connecting rooms. Their Family Deluxe Rooms, Family Junior Suites, and Club Family Suites are each created for togetherness while ensuring both comfort and privacy. Finally, the 282-square-meter Two-Bedroom Presidential Suite, inspired by drifting clouds, serves as a calm haven in the heart of the city, featuring generous living, dining, and entertaining spaces.
Celebrations and City Living
The hotel boasts a 740-square-meter Grand Hall for up to 1,000 guests. Along with versatile meeting rooms, elegant pre-function areas, and direct access to Ayala Triangle Gardens. Making it the perfect stage for weddings, cultural celebrations, conferences, and corporate events.
Wellness Rooted in Filipino Traditions
A highlight of the hotel is its 800-square-meter Spa and Wellness floor. Overlooking Ayala Triangle Gardens. Guests may relax in a 25-meter outdoor pool, state-of-the-art fitness center, yoga and mindfulness studios. A complete wellness program rooted in Filipino healing traditions.
Signature treatments feature Hilot, the traditional Filipino massage, and Sukob ng Manggagamot. Which weaves together native botanicals, herbal remedies, and spiritual rituals. Each therapy is conceived through Mandarin Oriental’s wellness philosophy. Grounding every experience in local culture and contemporary luxury.
A Meaningful Return
Mandarin Oriental’s original Manila property was one of the city’s most iconic hotels from 1976 until its closure in 2014. Welcoming generations of diplomats, business leaders, celebrities, and discerning travelers.
This return honors heritage as it looks boldly to the future. Instead of simply reviving the past, Mandarin Oriental Makati, Manila unveils a new era of Filipino luxury. Celebrating artistry, wellness, heartfelt service, and a profound feeling of belonging.
As Makati flourishes as an energetic urban hub, Mandarin Oriental aspires to be more than just a hotel, evolving into a lifestyle destination where business, culture, cuisine, wellness, and a lively urban scene come together.
