Hilton has expanded the Conrad brand to Manila, Philippines.

The 347-room Conrad Manila is located at the forefront of the Mall of Asia complex, in the heart of the 42 hectare Bay City development, a destination earmarked as a shopping, leisure, and business hub.

“The stunning Conrad Manila is an exceptional addition to the Conrad Hotels & Resorts portfolio and we are delighted to be partnering with SM hotels on this exciting project, who share our passion for excellence. Its opening underscores the growth of our portfolio across Asia Pacific and our continued commitment to the dynamic market of the Philippines. This landmark property perfectly complements the vibrancy of this amazing capital city and will set the benchmark for luxury accommodation in Manila,” said Martin Rinck, president, Hilton Worldwide, Asia Pacific.

Conrad Manila’s distinctive architecture is inspired by the shipping vessels that ply the bay. The hotel sits atop the two-level S Maison, a high-end retail complex, and has direct connections via walking bridges to SMX Convention Center, the country’s largest convention space, and is adjacent to SM Mall of Asia, one of the country’s largest malls, as well as Mall of Asia Arena, a 16,000-seater indoor stadium where international shows, concerts and major sporting events are held.

As the MICE market will play an important role in the Conrad Manila’s success, the hotel offers four contemporary event halls and two ballrooms, spanning more than 4,000 square meters. For intimate al fresco parties, guests can also opt for The Veranda, an outdoor garden space overlooking the city scape.

All 347 guest rooms and suites are specially designed with an intuitive technology. Upon sensing motion in the room, the air conditioning switches from energy-saving mode to cool, the curtains in the room will automatically open with ambient lighting set to match the time of the day. Rooms also feature a 42-inch flat screen HDTV with IPTV menu, Wi-Fi and wired internet access, Nespresso machine, Bluetooth-enabled entertainment technology and hydrotherapy rain showers.

Suites and executive rooms offers guests access to the Executive Lounge, and bathrooms that feature in-mirrored TV for an uninterrupted entertainment experience.

Located on the third level of the hotel is the infinity swimming pool, inspired by the pristine coastal seas of the Philippines with its coral shape. There is also a 24-hour fitness center and a spa with six treatment rooms with soaking tubs, a private sauna, and steam facilities.

The hotel has six restaurants and lounges, including a coffee bar, pool bar, and in-room dining prepared by the culinary team led by Executive Chef Thomas Jakobi.
