A new chapter in modern hospitality begins as AC Hotel by Marriott Manila, currently on soft launch phase, marks the debut of the AC Hotels by Marriott brand in the Philippines. Located within the LEED Platinum–certified GLAS Tower in Ortigas Center, the hotel welcomed its first guests on December 22, 2025, bringing the brand’s Perfectly Precise philosophy to the heart of the metro.
Designed for travelers who value clarity, comfort, and intention, AC Hotel by Marriott Manila blends European-inspired aesthetics, Spanish heritage, and genuine Filipino hospitality. The property occupies a Double-Glazed Triple Low-E glass tower engineered to reduce heat, block harmful UV rays, and minimize city noise—creating a calm and energy-efficient environment in a bustling business district.
Elevated Arrival and Signature Spaces
Guests arrive via a refined ground-floor entrance before ascending to the hotel’s sky lobby on the 38th floor, where sweeping city views set the tone for the experience. The lobby doubles as a social and conversational space, while the AC Store, located on the ground floor near reception, offers curated snacks, beverages, sweets, and retail items for added convenience.
Guest Rooms and Suites Designed with Purpose
The hotel’s 160 contemporary guest rooms champion minimalist design paired with thoughtful comforts. Signature AC Moments enhance the stay, featuring fresh lavender for evening relaxation and exclusive eucalyptus- and mint-infused shower steamers for a revitalizing start to the day.
For extended stays, the property offers two-bedroom accommodations complete with a full kitchen, spacious bathroom, and comfortable living area. The Deluxe Suite City View further elevates the experience with ceilings reaching up to 3.6 meters, double-glazed mirrors that reduce UV exposure and city noise, and expansive views of the skyline, sunset, or nearby golf course.
Social, Business, and Lifestyle Offerings
Business travelers are supported by the AC Library, a dedicated workspace with long communal tables and comfortable seating, located alongside the AC Lounge. As the day transitions into evening, the lounge becomes a relaxed gathering spot for cocktails, afternoon tea, and light bites. The hotel’s signature AC Hour, held daily from 5:00 pm to 7:00 pm, offers complimentary tapas with every purchase of the brand’s iconic gin and tonic or any cocktail.
On the 61st floor, the AC Bar delivers an intimate rooftop experience for up to 40 guests, open from 5:00 pm to 1:00 am. The venue offers skyline views and curated drinks, with the signature gin and tonic as a highlight.
Dining with Local and European Influences
AC Kitchen presents a curated menu that blends local favorites and European-inspired dishes, all enjoyed against a city-view backdrop. Filipino classics such as adobo, sinigang, pork sisig, chicken inasal, and vegetarian kare-kare share the menu with selections like cazuela, manchego cheese, and prosciutto ham. In-room dining offerings include the AC Burger, grilled bacalao, and porras.
Wellness and Recreation Above the City
Wellness facilities are located on the 57th floor, featuring the AC Fitness equipped with modern workout equipment and an indoor AC Swimming Pool, providing guests with a serene space to recharge while overlooking the metro skyline.
Meetings, Events, and Celebrations
The AC Manila Grand Ballroom offers 503 sqm of elegant event space, complemented by a 300 sqm foyer and floor-to-ceiling glass showcasing city views. The venue can host 250 to 300 guests and includes a dedicated AC Bridal Room for wedding preparations.
For smaller functions, Executive Meeting Rooms 4 and 5 accommodate intimate gatherings, while Executive Rooms 1, 2, and 3 can be combined to host up to 120 guests, all designed with minimalist interiors, modern technology, and natural light.
Design Anchored in Sustainability and Thoughtfulness
The hotel was developed in close collaboration with ASYA Design, with architectural direction by Andrew Cerwin Yu and Aaron Cedric Yu, whose ESG-driven approach ensures environmental responsibility and social relevance.
Interior design and experiential direction are led by Clarice Anne Yu-Sy, Interior Design Director and Managing Director of the property, whose vision centers on simplicity, sincerity, and intentional luxury—creating spaces that restore, inspire, and leave a lasting impression.
“Our approach is to respect the DNA of AC Hotels while making it feel naturally at home in our market,” shares Melvyn Angeles, General Manager of AC Hotel by Marriott Manila. “We aim to introduce a new kind of stay that elevates the essentials, bringing a refreshing and modern perspective to hospitality, delivered with the genuine warmth of Filipino culture.”
Positioned at the crossroads of business and lifestyle in Ortigas, AC Hotel by Marriott Manila emerges as a refined new address for modern travelers—where every detail is designed with purpose, and luxury is defined by thoughtfulness.
