AC Hotels by Marriott, part of Marriott Bonvoy's global portfolio of over 30 extraordinary hotel brands, today announced the opening of AC Hotel by Marriott Manila, which marks the lifestyle brand's debut in the Philippines. Elegantly positioned in the iconic GLAS Tower, designed by ASYA Design – a platinum LEED-certified building in Manila's central business district, the hotel sets a new standard of modern hospitality where European heritage blends seamlessly with Filipino warmth. The new hotel has been expertly crafted to deliver the ‘Perfectly Precise’ AC Hotel experience, as a sanctuary for discerning travelers who value thoughtful design, effortless efficiency, and purposeful spaces. The hotel features 160 contemporary rooms and suites, curated experiences, and panoramic views of the Ortigas skyline, offering a refined urban escape for both business and leisure travelers.
"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 travelers."
Intuitive Design Meets Panoramic Views
AC Hotel by Marriott Manila features 160 modern rooms and suites, from Superior and Deluxe rooms to apartment-style accommodations, all thoughtfully designed with European-inspired elegance. Each room offers 180-degree panoramic views of the Ortigas skyline, while AC Signature Moments like the soothing lavender turndown service to the signature ‘ACGT’ Gin & Tonic create memorable experiences beyond the ordinary.
Strategically located in the heart of Ortigas Center, the hotel offers easy access to shopping, offices, and key establishments. With spacious apartments and extended-stay amenities, it is also well suited for MICE groups, tour operators, and long-stay guests, combining the comforts of home with curated hotel services.
European Heritage Meets Filipino Warmth
The hotel’s beverage and culinary program highlights the brand’s European sensibilities while celebrating Filipino warmth and local flavors. At AC Kitchen, guests can enjoy a harmonious blend of international inspirations — from Manchego cheese and Prosciutto to the signature Breakfast Cazuela — alongside local favorites including Adobo, Sinigang, Pork Sisig, Chicken Inasal, and Vegetarian Kare Kare. Thoughtfully prepared and beautifully plated, each dish is complemented by panoramic city views that elevate the dining experience. AC Lounge provides a relaxed setting for socializing, featuring signature cocktails and tapas during AC Hour. Perched on the 61st floor, AC Bar presents an open-air haven above Metro Manila, where elevated cocktails, curated wines and beers, and a selection of small plates are crafted with personalized hospitality. Guests can unwind over the city’s stunning sunset and skyline views, making it an ideal venue for gatherings both casual and refined. On the 38th floor, AC Library offers a modern, light-filled space for relaxation and quiet exploration, completing the property's thoughtful collection of lifestyle venues.
A Premier Destination for Meetings, Weddings, and Social Gatherings
The hotel features 802 square meters of flexible meeting space across seven rooms, designed with high ceilings, natural daylight, and modern audiovisual technology. The experienced events team ensures seamless execution for board meetings, corporate seminars, weddings, and social events, with all meeting rooms conveniently located on the same floor.
Wellness and Recreation
The hotel features an inviting indoor swimming pool, offering guests a serene urban retreat for relaxation and rejuvenation. Open daily, the pool provides a calm and refreshing escape from the city’s bustle. Guests can stay active with a 24-hour exercise room featuring modern equipment, making it easy to keep up with their workout routine while traveling. Whether starting the day with an energizing session or unwinding after meetings, the hotel’s wellness facilities provide the perfect complement to its contemporary lifestyle experience.
