Hilton is set to bring its lifestyle brand Canopy by Hilton to the Philippines under an agreement with Ayala Land Hospitality.

The hospitality giant announced the signing of Canopy by Hilton Makati in Metro Manila on Wednesday August 13.

Scheduled to open in 2026, Canopy by Hilton Makati will rise above the new landmark One Ayala development.

Canopy by Hilton is known for “stylish, locally-connected stays that reflect the spirit of the locale”.

“Introducing our Canopy brand to the Philippines is a significant milestone, especially in such a vibrant junction in the heart of Makati,” said Hilton Vice President, Development, South East Asia, Maria Ariizumi.

“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.

“This launch also marks the beginning of a meaningful partnership with Ayala Land Hospitality, who are passionate stewards of the Canopy vision.”

The new hotel will span 24 storeys and feature 400 rooms and suites, a destination restaurant, rooftop bar with skyline views, and hidden speakeasy as well as a pool deck, gym and reimagined meeting spaces.

“The Philippines continues to shine as a vibrant and dynamic destination, celebrated for its rich cultural heritage and warm, welcoming people, making it an ideal setting for the Canopy experience. Makati has long been—and will remain—a favorite among travelers seeking a mix of urban sophistication, culture and lifestyle experiences,” said Hilton Area Vice President and Regional Head of South East Asia, Alexandra Murray.           

Ayala Land Hospitality President and CEO, George Aquino, said: “We’re thrilled to team up with Hilton to bring Canopy’s vibrant spirit to Manila.

“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.”
