For decades, the Makati CBD has set the benchmark for urban development in the Philippines. Today, the city continues to shape its future as a world-class destination—one that is greener, more connected, and enriched by culture, community, and innovation.
Driven by sustained investments in premium mixed-use developments, public spaces, hospitality, retail, and cultural experiences, Makati has continually evolved to meet the needs of a new generation of global travelers, residents, and businesses. At the heart of this transformation is a commitment to creating destinations that celebrate Filipino identity while embracing international standards of excellence.

A defining symbol of this next chapter will arrive in late 2026 with the opening of Mandarin Oriental Makati, Manila, marking the long-awaited return of one of the world’s most iconic luxury hospitality brands to the Philippine capital.
More than a hotel opening, the homecoming of Mandarin Oriental reflects the continued evolution of the city as a dynamic urban destination and reinforces its position as the country’s premier business, lifestyle, and cultural hub.
Located above the lush expanse of Ayala Triangle Gardens in Makati’s central business district, the hotel is being developed in partnership with Ayala Land and will offer seamless access to the city’s most sought-after retail, dining, business, and cultural destinations.

The return carries particular significance for Manila. Mandarin Oriental’s original property operated in the city from 1976 to 2014 and became an enduring part of its social and cultural landscape. Its reintroduction signals both a celebration of heritage and a forward-looking vision for Philippine luxury hospitality.
The new Mandarin Oriental Makati, Manila will feature 275 elegantly designed guestrooms and suites, conceived as a contemporary expression of Filipino luxury. Drawing inspiration from nature, the interiors will incorporate natural materials, timber, and woven elements while highlighting local craftsmanship and artisan collaboration.
Designed to cater to today’s discerning travelers, accommodations will include flexible room configurations suited for multigenerational travel, while select room categories will enjoy exclusive Club Lounge access and personalized 24-hour butler service.

Wellness will be a cornerstone of the guest experience. An expansive 800-square-meter Spa and Wellness floor will feature holistic treatments inspired by Filipino healing traditions. The wellness offering will also include dedicated fitness and yoga facilities, complemented by a 25-meter outdoor swimming pool overlooking Ayala Triangle Gardens.
For business, social, and cultural gatherings, the property will house a 740-square-meter Grand Hall with eight-meter ceilings and capacity for up to 1,000 guests, alongside a collection of meeting rooms, boardrooms, and flexible event venues. Guests will also have access to Ayala Triangle Gardens, creating unique opportunities for outdoor and community-centric events.

Strategically located approximately 15 minutes from Manila’s international airport, Mandarin Oriental Makati will further strengthen the capital’s position as a regional business and cultural destination while supporting Mandarin Oriental’s continued expansion across Southeast Asia.
“Mandarin Oriental has long held a special place in the story of Makati. Its return reflects not only the enduring appeal but also our vision of creating world-class city destinations that celebrate Filipino culture and foster meaningful connections,” said Ayala Land Creative Director, Paloma Urquijo Zobel de Ayala.
As the Makati CBD continues to redefine urban living through thoughtful development, sustainability, and cultural enrichment, the return of Mandarin Oriental stands as a powerful testament to where the city is headed – a future shaped by excellence, innovation, and a deep sense of place.
