Accor has partnered with Megaworld, the Philippines’ largest township developer, to sign Mövenpick Manila Bay Westside.
The hotel, with 1,530 keys, will be the world’s largest Mövenpick property and marks a milestone in Accor’s expansion in Asia.
The opening in 2026 will make Accor the largest international hotel operator in the Philippines, with 13 hotels, more than 4,700 keys across eight brands, and a development pipeline of 16 hotels.
Located within Megaworld’s Westside City Township in Parañaque, the hotel sits in an integrated tourism estate with retail, entertainment, business and leisure facilities. Mövenpick Manila Bay Westside will offer four dining venues, including a specialty Filipino restaurant, an international all-day dining option, a signature bar, and Mövenpick’s Chocolate Hour experience.
The property is designed to meet the needs of business and events travellers, with flexible indoor and outdoor meeting and event spaces for social gatherings, conferences and large-scale functions.
The development reflects Accor’s focus on the premium segment, meeting rising demand for experience-driven hospitality. The hotel will showcase Mövenpick’s Swiss-rooted brand values, highlighting service and memorable guest experiences.
Andrew Langdon, chief development officer, Asia, at Accor, said: “This landmark project represents an opportunity to enhance our premium presence while contributing to the country’s long-term tourism growth. We look forward to creating a flagship hotel that sets new standards for premium hospitality.”
Cleofe Albiso, managing director of Megaworld Hotels & Resorts, added: “The opening of the world’s largest Mövenpick is a powerful testament to our group’s efforts to scale our world-class offerings and meet the demands of the broader international market. As we rebrand Grand Westside Hotel into the world’s largest Mövenpick, we continue to generate more jobs, help drive stronger tourism activity, and open doors for communities to grow alongside this development.”
