Marriott Bonvoy has officially expanded its footprint in the Philippines with the launch of AC Hotel by Marriott Manila. This marks the first time the lifestyle brand has entered the local market. Situated within the GLAS Tower in the Ortigas central business district, the hotel occupies a platinum LEED certified building designed by ASYA Design. The property aims to combine European style with local Filipino hospitality.

The hotel offers 160 modern guest rooms and suites, ranging from standard rooms to larger apartment-style units for long-term stays. Every room provides 180-degree views of the Ortigas skyline. Guests can experience brand-specific rituals such as the lavender turndown service and the signature ACGT Gin & Tonic.

“I’m pleased to share another meaningful milestone for Marriott Bonvoy in the Philippines with the opening of our very first AC Hotel in the country,” said Duke Nam, Regional Vice President, Korea, Vietnam & Philippines, Marriott International. “The entry of AC Hotels into the Philippines marks a refined evolution of our hospitality promise. With its philosophy of delivering ‘Perfectly Precise’ hospitality and no unwanted extras, the hotel will provide practical comfort, balanced function and a design-driven lifestyle experience catering to the needs of both business and leisure travellers.”

Dining options include the AC Kitchen, which serves a mix of European and Filipino dishes like Pork Sisig and Chicken Inasal. The AC Lounge provides a space for socialising with tapas, while the AC Bar on the 61st floor offers an open-air setting for cocktails. For quieter moments, the AC Library on the 38th floor provides a dedicated space for reading.

The property also caters to the corporate sector with 802 square meters of event space across seven meeting rooms. Leisure facilities include a 24-hour fitness centre and an indoor swimming pool.

“AC Hotel by Marriott Manila represents the perfect fusion of European precision and Filipino hospitality,” said Melvyn Angeles, General Manager, AC Hotel by Marriott Manila. “From our signature AC Moments to breathtaking views from our rooftop AC Bar, we are committed to creating unforgettable memories as a premier destination for meetings, weddings, social gatherings, and elevated experiences. We look forward to welcoming travellers to a new standard of modern hospitality in Manila.”
