Hilton and Ayala Land Hospitality announced the signing of Canopy by Hilton Makati in Metro Manila, an economic and cultural gateway to major financial institutions, multinational companies and vibrant street life.
George Aquino, president and chief executive of Ayala Land Hospitality, remarked: “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. This exciting collaboration brings us closer to our goal of shaping the Philippines into a must-visit destination, one unforgettable stay at a time.”
Scheduled to open in 2026, Canopy by Hilton Makati will rise above the bustling One Ayala development, a new landmark development where culture, creativity, and commerce converge in Makati’s most vibrant neighborhood.
Hilton’s vice-president for development in Southeast Asia Maria Arizumi said of this upcoming debut: “Introducing our Canopy brand to the Philippines is a significant milestone, especially in such a vibrant junction in the heart of Makati. Metro Manila is ripe for a fresh perspective on hospitality, and we believe Canopy’s lifestyle approach will resonate with both local and international guests. This launch also marks the beginning of a meaningful partnership with Ayala Land Hospitality, who are passionate stewards of the Canopy vision.”
Hilton’s area vice-president and regional head in Southeast Asia Alexandra Murray added: “The Philippines continues to shine as a vibrant and dynamic destination, celebrated for its rich cultural heritage and warm, welcoming people, making it an ideal setting for the Canopy experience. Makati has long been, and will remain, a favourite among travellers seeking a mix of urban sophistication, culture and lifestyle experiences.”
Adding local flavour to stylish stays
Canopy by Hilton is known for stylish, locally-connected stays that reflect the spirit of the locale.
With more than 40 hotels open across 14 countries and territories and more than 40 more in the pipeline, each Canopy hotel is different by design, thoughtfully tailored to its setting.
Canopy Makati carries that spirit forward with a perspective that’s rooted in warm hospitality, full of energy, and infused with modern design and a bold perspective.
Spanning 24 storeys and 400 stylishly designed rooms and suites, the hotel will feature a mix of sleek urban escapes to spacious suites blending contemporary comfort with materials and artwork inspired by Manila’s creative and cultural scene.
The hotel will also become a new hub for the city’s social and food scene, seeing how locals and guests alike can explore a destination restaurant, rooftop bar with skyline views, and hidden speakeasy that channels Manila’s eclectic energy.
More than just places to dine and drink, these spaces will play host to Manila’s creative pulse. From DJ sets to stylish social events as well as cultural gatherings, Canopy by Hilton Makati will be a gathering place where the city comes to life.
Guests can unwind at the pool deck or recharge at the hotel’s high-performance gym with top-tier equipment and engaging group classes.
For gatherings that break the mould, Canopy Manila’s reimagined meeting spaces draw on local creative inspiration for meetings and offsites or weddings and celebrations that are as vibrant and memorable as the city itself.
Likewise, Canopy by Hilton hotels participate in Hilton Honors, the award-winning guest-loyalty programme for Hilton’s 24 distinct hotel brands.
Hilton Honors members who book directly through preferred Hilton channels have access to instant benefits, including a flexible payment slider that allows members to choose nearly any combination of Points and money to book a stay, exclusive member discounts, free standard WiFi, and the Hilton Honors mobile app.
