A new landmark development where culture, creativity, and commerce converge will soon rise in Makati’s most vibrant neighborhood. Scheduled to open in 2026, the Canopy by Hilton Makati will debut in the country’s major commercial and business district. The announcement came after the formal signing between Hilton and Ayala Land, Inc.
“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,” said Maria Ariizumi, Vice President, Development, South East Asia, Hilton.
Known for stylish, locally connected stays that reflect the spirit of the locale, the Canopy by Hilton will carry forward Makati’s city vibe with a perspective that’s rooted in warm hospitality, full of energy, and infused with modern design and a bold perspective.
The 24-story hotel will be fitted with 400 stylishly designed rooms and suites, blending contemporary comfort with materials and artwork inspired by Manila’s creative and cultural scene.
As a new hub for the city’s social and food scene, locals and guests alike can explore a destination restaurant, a rooftop bar with skyline views, and a 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 and modern cultural activations, 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 mold, Canopy Manila’s reimagined meeting spaces draw on local creative inspiration for meetings and off-sites or weddings and celebrations that are as vibrant and memorable as the city itself.
“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 favorite among travelers seeking a mix of urban sophistication, culture, and lifestyle experiences,” said Alexandra Murray, Area Vice President and Regional Head of South East Asia, Hilton.
“We’re thrilled to team up with Hilton to bring Canopy’s vibrant spirit to Manila,” said Ayala Land Hospitality President and CEO George Aquino. “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.”
The Canopy hotel can be found in more than 40 hotels open across 14 countries, with more than 40 that will soon open.
