The Mandarin Oriental hotel brand is making a significant comeback to Manila, Philippines, after a 14-year absence. Set to open in December, the new Mandarin Oriental Makati will feature 275 luxurious rooms and suites, including a grand two-bedroom presidential suite. This re-entry into the market not only revives a beloved name but also signals a growing confidence in the luxury travel sector in the region.
Located in the vibrant Ayala Triangle Gardens, the hotel aims to capture the essence of Manila’s culture and hospitality. It will offer five diverse dining options, showcasing contemporary Cantonese, Filipino, and international cuisines. This focus on local flavours is expected to enhance the dining landscape in Makati, attracting both tourists and locals alike.
Additionally, the hotel will dedicate an entire floor to wellness, featuring traditional Filipino therapies such as Hilot and Sukob ng Manggagamot. This emphasis on local wellness practices reflects a broader trend in the hospitality industry towards integrating cultural experiences into luxury stays, appealing to health-conscious travellers.
To celebrate its opening, the Mandarin Oriental will provide festive gifts and dining credits for guests during the holiday season. This strategic timing not only aims to boost occupancy rates but also positions the hotel as a prime destination for holiday travellers seeking luxury and unique experiences in Manila.
