Property developer Ayala Land Inc. (ALI) tapped global hospitality group Hilton to operate a new 400-room hotel in Makati City under the Canopy by Hilton brand.
Ayala Land said the property, will be part of the One Ayala development, a mixed-use hub in the heart of the Makati central business district. It will open in 2026.
“We’re thrilled to team up with Hilton to bring Canopy’s vibrant spirit to Manila. It’s not just about adding rooms—it’s about creating stays that spark curiosity and celebrate Filipino creativity,” said Ayala Land Hospitality president and chief executive George Aquino.
The 24-story hotel will feature a variety of room types, a destination restaurant, a rooftop bar and a hidden speakeasy. It will also include a pool deck, fitness center and creative meeting spaces.
“Introducing our Canopy brand to the Philippines is a significant milestone. We believe Canopy’s lifestyle approach will resonate with both local and international guests,” said Hilton vice president of development for Southeast Asia Maria Arizumi.
Ayala Land said the partnership is part of its strategy to expand its hospitality portfolio and reinforce Makati’s position as a leading urban destination in Southeast Asia.
ALI, one of the Philippines’ largest property developers, said earlier it would spend $500 million to double its hotel capacity to 8,000 keys by 2030.
The company also announced plans to bring Marriott’s Moxy brand to Circuit Makati and acquired the 578-room New World Hotel also in Makati.
