Ayala Land Hospitality has partnered with hotel giant Hilton for the opening of the first Canopy by Hilton hotel in Makati City in 2026.

The hotel will be located above the new One Ayala development in Makati City.

“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,” added Aquino.

With 400 rooms and suites, the 24-story hotel will feature a mix of sleek urban escapes to spacious suites.

“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,” said Hilton vice president for development, Southeast Asia Maria Ariizumi.

Hilton area vice president and regional head of Southeast Asia Alexandra Murray, meanwhile, said the Philippines continues to shine as a vibrant and dynamic destination, celebrated for its rich cultural heritage and warm, welcoming people.

"Makati has long been—and will remain—a favorite among travelers seeking a mix of urban sophistication, culture and lifestyle experiences," Murray said.
