Though you are steps from the casino and nightlife, the hotel itself is composed and design-forward, with bamboo details, low-slung furniture, and sleek, sun-filled rooms.
In a lively part of town
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
The complex sits in Entertainment City, minutes from Manila Bay and a short stroll from luxury retail.
The rooms
Simmons pillow-top mattresses and custom bathrobes provide quiet comforts looking out over the city or pool terrace.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
A 250-foot outdoor lap pool stretches across the podium terrace among landscaped water gardens and sun decks.
The spa
Treatment rooms deliver East-meets-West therapies, including traditional Filipino hilot massage and restorative foot rituals.
The gym
The fitness center has stationary bikes, strength machines, and free weights for daily workouts.
Nobu Restaurant Manila
Timber-slatted dining spaces serve signature Japanese-Peruvian dishes alongside multi-course omakase menus and weekend brunches.
The Japanese-inspired aesthetic permeates throughout the stylish hotel, which happens to house not only a Nobu restaurant, but a spa and an outdoor pool, too.
How it began

The property opened in 2015 as the brand's first hotel in Asia, following its debut in Las Vegas.
