Aquatic wonderland cocoon
Integrated into an oceanarium on Manila Bay, this hotel replaces standard city scenery with life underwater.
What it’s good at
Listed
Floor-to-ceiling illuminated aquariums and glowing jellyfish tanks integrated into guestroom walls.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
The hotel sits behind Quirino Grandstand, opening directly into Rizal Park and the Manila Baywalk.
The rooms
Aqua rooms embed wall-to-wall fish tanks behind the headboards, and Aqua Jellies rooms glow with live jellyfish.
The pool and gym
Bring a swimsuit.
A mosaic-tiled jet pool with rock formations sits alongside a fitness room with cardio equipment and weights.
The spa
Treatments at Zenyu Eco Spa range from traditional massages to negative-ion hot beds and Doctor fish exfoliation.
At the table
Makan Makan serves pan-Southeast Asian dishes, and the open-air deck at White Moon Bar looks across Manila Bay.
How it began
The hotel opened in 2010 as an integrated sleepover wing of the Manila Ocean Park oceanarium.

Cared for at every turn. The bath is drawn before you ask.

The city grew up with it. Same rituals, same regulars, same bar.

A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
