A testament of excellence in hospitality, City of Dreams Manila’s Nüwa Manila and Nüwa Spa received their ninth and seventh Five Star rating, respectively, in the recently published Forbes Travel Guide (FTG) 2026 Star Awards, joining once again the roster of illustrious global Star Award winners in 95 countries, at the 68th Annual Star Awards.
The two accolades top the 18 collective FTG Stars of the luxury integrated resort, including the Four Star Awards bestowed to Nobu Hotel Manila and Hyatt Regency Manila, since 2018.
“We celebrate and are deeply honored by the Star ratings accorded by Forbes Travel Guide to our three hotels for the ninth year running and to the Nuwa spa since its first award seven years ago. I thank our colleagues for their passion and dedication in delivering signature experiences to our guests, and for remaining committed to raising the bar in embodying refined excellence in everything that we do,” City of Dreams Manila Property President Geoff Andres shared.
City of Dreams Manila’s awards also contribute to the total of 107 stars achieved by the integrated resort’s parent company, Melco Resorts & Entertainment Limited’s (Melco) portfolio of hotel, dining, and spa facilities across its integrated resort properties in Asia and Europe. Melco maintains its record-breaking performance, representing the highest count for any integrated resort operator in Macau and Asia.
Lawrence Ho, Chairman & CEO, Melco, said, “We are deeply honored to have Melco recognized once more as the leader in luxury hospitality by Forbes Travel Guide in 2026. Maintaining the most Five-Star awards in Macau and Asia is a testament to our team’s unwavering commitment to excellence.
