Hilton and Ayala Land Hospitality have signed an agreement to develop Canopy by Hilton Makati in Metro Manila, a hub for financial institutions, multinational companies, and street activity.
Scheduled to open in 2026, the hotel will be part of the One Ayala development, a mixed-use project combining cultural, commercial, and creative spaces in Makati.
Canopy by Hilton operates hotels designed to reflect the local setting. With more than 40 properties open across 14 countries and territories, and over 40 more planned, each hotel is tailored to its location. Canopy Makati will continue this approach, combining hospitality with contemporary design influenced by Manila’s culture and creative scene.
The 24-storey hotel will have 400 rooms and suites, ranging from urban rooms to larger suites, with interiors influenced by local materials and artwork. The property will include a restaurant, rooftop bar with city views, and a speakeasy, which will host social and cultural events.
Facilities will include a pool deck and a gym with equipment and group classes. Meeting spaces will be designed to accommodate events such as corporate gatherings, weddings, and celebrations, incorporating elements of local creativity.
“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,” said Maria Ariizumi, vice president, development, South East Asia, Hilton.
George Aquino, president and CEO, Ayala Land Hospitality, added: “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.”
