A new and stylish hotel brand is coming to the Philippines in 2026! Canopy by Hilton, a well-known lifestyle hotel brand, will open its very first branch in the country thanks to a partnership between Hilton and Ayala Land Hospitality.
The hotel will rise in Makati’s One Ayala Development, right in the busy heart of the city. It will stand 24 storeys tall and have 400 rooms and suites. Canopy by Hilton is famous for mixing modern comfort with designs, art, and materials inspired by the local culture — and in Makati, that means bringing in the creative and colorful spirit of Manila.
Maria Ariizumi, Hilton’s Vice President for Southeast Asia Development, said this is a big milestone. She believes Metro Manila is ready for a fresh take on hospitality and that Canopy’s unique style will attract both Filipinos and international visitors.
The hotel will not just be a place to sleep — it aims to be a social hotspot in the city. It will feature:
-
A destination restaurant where guests and locals can enjoy great food
-
A rooftop bar with stunning views of Makati
-
A hidden speakeasy for a more private and exclusive vibe
-
A pool for relaxation
-
A high-performance gym for fitness lovers
-
Creative meeting spaces inspired by Makati’s local art scene
George Aquino, President and CEO of Ayala Land Hospitality, said this project is about more than just adding hotel rooms. It’s about creating memorable stays that spark curiosity, showcase Filipino creativity, and make the Philippines a must-visit destination.
The Canopy by Hilton brand already has more than 40 hotels in 14 countries and over 40 more planned. Everywhere they open, they make sure the hotel reflects the culture and energy of the place.
When Canopy by Hilton Makati opens in 2026, it promises to bring a fresh, vibrant, and creative energy to the city — and give guests a hotel experience that’s stylish, local, and unforgettable.
