Mandarin Oriental Makati, Manila

Mandarin Oriental Announces Its Return to Manila

Mandarin Oriental today announces the forthcoming opening of Mandarin Oriental Makati, Manila, scheduled for late 2026.

Rising above Ayala Triangle Gardens, a two-hectare park at the intersection of Makati Avenue, Ayala Avenue and Paseo de Roxas, the 98.7-metres-tall hotel marks more than the opening of a new luxury address. It signals the return of Mandarin Oriental to the city where it helped shape Manila's social and cultural landscape for generations from 1976 to 2014.

For nearly four decades, the original Mandarin Oriental Manila served as one of the capital's most recognised gathering places, welcoming influential figures from across business, diplomacy, society and culture. Reimagined for a new generation of global travellers, creatives and business leaders, Mandarin Oriental Makati, Manila introduces a contemporary expression of Filipino luxury shaped by craftsmanship, innovation and the Group's legendary service.

Located just 15 minutes by car from Manila International Airport, the hotel offers seamless connectivity to key gateway cities across Asia, the Middle East and North America, reinforcing Manila's growing role as a dynamic international business and cultural capital.

The hotel will feature 275 rooms and suites, an extensive Spa and Wellness floor, five dining and bar concepts, and a collection of versatile event spaces designed for celebrations, business gatherings and cultural occasions.

A Parkside Address in the Heart of Makati

Developed in partnership with Ayala Land, one of the Philippines' leading property developers, the hotel occupies a prestigious address within Makati, Metro Manila's cosmopolitan financial and lifestyle district.

Steps away are Greenbelt's luxury retail and dining destinations, acclaimed restaurants and cocktail bars, contemporary galleries, neighbourhood cafés and the vibrant Salcedo and Legazpi weekend markets. Positioned at the crossroads of business, culture and lifestyle, the hotel places guests within immediate reach of the city's most dynamic business and social destinations.

Spacious, Elegant Accommodation Inspired by Nature

Each of the hotel's rooms and suites has been designed to reflect the textures, light and movement of the Philippine landscape. Natural materials, warm timber tones, woven detailing and artisanal finishes from Filipino craftsmen are layered with floor-to-ceiling windows and soft natural light to create spaces that feel both residential and refined.

Designed for multigenerational travel, the hotel offers a range of spacious accommodations and flexible configurations to suit every occasion. Entry-level Deluxe Rooms begin at a generous 50 square metres, featuring panoramic city and park views, walk-in wardrobes, and separate bath and shower areas. For families and groups travelling together, the hotel offers connecting room options as well as dedicated Family Deluxe Rooms and Suites, each with expansive living spaces, vanity desks and generous bathrooms designed for extended comfort.

Guests choosing Club accommodations enjoy access to the Mandarin Oriental Club Lounge alongside 24-hour dedicated butler service offering highly personalised care, privacy and seamless comfort throughout their stay.

Five Dining Concepts Rooted in Culture and Creativity

Mandarin Oriental Makati, Manila's dining collection will reflect Manila's evolving culinary landscape through a mix of contemporary Cantonese, Filipino and international cuisine, craft cocktails and intimate social spaces.

Designed as vibrant gathering places for both local residents and international travellers, the restaurants and bars will celebrate Filipino warmth, craftsmanship and creativity through  enticing menus, locally inspired ingredients and elevated hospitality experiences.

Wellness Inspired by Filipino Healing Traditions

Spanning 800 square metres, the Spa and Wellness floor has been designed as a serene refuge that draws meaning from its surroundings. Overlooking the lush canopy of Ayala Triangle Gardens and the ever-evolving Makati skyline, a stunning 25-metre outdoor swimming pool anchors the experience, offering a rare moment of stillness within one of Metro Manila's most vibrant districts.

Signature therapies draw on the ancient healing traditions of the Philippines: Hilot, the indigenous practice of therapeutic massage and energy realignment, and Sukob ng Manggagamot, which weaves spiritual ritual with herbal medicine and native botanicals. These time-honoured practices are reimagined through Mandarin Oriental's renowned approach to restorative wellness, alongside state-of-the-art fitness facilities and dedicated spaces for yoga, mindfulness and holistic movement.

Family-friendly wellness and leisure experiences extend beyond individual retreat, inviting guests at every stage of life to find restoration and joy within this refined sanctuary.

Where Life's Most Meaningful Moments Are Celebrated

Designed to host both grand celebrations and more intimate gatherings, the hotel's event spaces provide an exceptional setting for life's most meaningful personal moments and significant business occasions alike, brought to life through legendary service, refined design and exceptional attention to detail.

The centrepiece is the Grand Hall, spanning 740 square metres with an 8-metre ceiling height and capacity for up to 1,000 guests. It is divisible into three halls and complemented by The Gallery pre-function space. A further selection of flexible function rooms, meeting rooms and a boardroom provide versatile settings of occasions of every scale.

Enhanced by direct access to Ayala Triangle Gardens, the hotel will also offer opportunities for outdoor celebrations, cultural programming and immersive brand experiences within one of Manila's most prestigious urban settings.
