MANILA welcomes a new era of design-led hospitality with the arrival of AC Hotel by Marriott Manila, the first and flagship AC Hotel by Marriott in the Philippines.

Part of Marriott International’s global portfolio, the hotel introduces the brand’s “Perfectly Precise” philosophy, where thoughtful design, comfort and functionality create refined, seamless stays.

Leading the hotel’s design vision is Clarice Anne Yu-Sy, whose approach emphasizes sincerity, simplicity and purposeful experiences. The hotel is located within GLAS, the Philippines’ first double-glazed, triple Low-E full-glass tower and a LEED Platinum-certified development, designed by Albert Yu.

Dining experiences are led by Executive Chef Bonn Reyes. AC Kitchen offers all-day dining that blends international and local flavors, while AC Lounge and AC Bar feature tapas, curated cocktails, and the brand’s signature AC Gin and Tonic experience.

Signature amenities include the Lavender Turndown Ritual, AC Library, AC Store, an indoor pool and a 24-hour fitness center overlooking the skyline. The hotel also features 11 event spaces, including the AC Grand Ballroom.

Its launch celebration showcased immersive brand experiences, culinary offerings and design-driven spaces, marking the Philippine debut of a hospitality concept centered on purposeful design, elevated experiences and modern sophistication.
