If you've been eyeing GLAS Tower's all-glass silhouette rising over Ortigas, here's your reason to finally book a stay in it. AC Hotel by Marriott Manila — the first AC Hotel in the Philippines — has checked in, and it's giving Manila a fresh definition of understated luxury.
We booked a night at the Superior King (30 sqm), and the room alone makes a strong case for a staycation. Think European precision meets Filipino warmth: clean lines, natural light pouring in from the glass facade, and views that stretch across the city skyline, a golf course, and Manila's famous sunsets.
Fitting, considering the hotel sits inside the country's first Double-Glazed and Triple Low-E–certified landmark building — basically, a tower built with sustainability in mind from the ground up.
The AC Signature Experience
Beyond the rooms, AC Hotel Manila comes stacked with amenities that make it easy to never want to leave:
- AC Fitness (57th Level) — a 24/7 space for when the workout can't wait
- AC Swimming Pool (57th Level) — laps or lounging, your call, open daily 6 AM to 10 PM
- AC Library (38th Level) — a 24/7 nook for reading, working, or just people-watching
- AC Kitchen (38th Level) — the all-day dining spot serving up European and Filipino flavors, with buffet breakfast from 6:30 to 10 AM and à la carte service running until 11 PM
- AC Lounge (38th Level) — small plates and expertly made drinks, open till 1 AM
- AC Bar (61st Level) — the hotel's crown jewel: a rooftop bar for a classic AC Gin & Tonic with a view, open till 2 AM
Need a quick souvenir or snack run? The AC Store on the ground level has you covered too.
Whether you're here for business, a wedding at the AC Grand Ballroom, or just a weekend recharge, AC Hotel by Marriott Manila lives up to its tagline: The Perfectly Precise Hotel™.
Fun fact: AC Hotels was founded by Spanish hotelier Antonio Catalán, who opened the very first AC Hotel in Navarra, Spain back in 2005 — so this brand's European roots run deep.
