Philippine Modernism Between Bay and Civic Architecture
A Locsin-designed Philippine landmark
Opened as the Philippine Plaza, the hotel was designed by Leandro V. Locsin & Partners, with Raul R. Locsin serving as chief architect during construction. Its identity is tied to the CCP Complex and its large-scale modernist civic architecture on Manila Bay.
Filipino craft within a French-Filipino identity
Raul R. Locsin described the guest-room interiors as using Tinalak-inspired patterns, connecting the property to Philippine weaving traditions. Current presentation combines French elegance with Filipino craftsmanship, local spa touches and bay-facing leisure spaces.
Expansive public spaces and event architecture
The layout is organized around broad public and leisure areas rather than a compact city-hotel footprint. Redesign work connected to the 2015 APEC Summit updated the Grand Plaza Ballroom, Spiral and Le Spa.
Balconies, Bay Views and Distinctive French Amenities
A 609-room accommodation collection
The hotel has 609 rooms and suites, with accommodation categories offering private balconies and views that include Manila Bay or the ocean, alongside garden and urban outlooks elsewhere in the inventory.
MyBed and named bath amenities
The room programme includes king-size and twin-sharing MyBed bedding, with Lanvin or Hermès bath amenities identified in the property fact sheet. En suite bathrooms include bathtubs, hairdryers and complimentary toiletries.
Spiral and Manila Bay’s Multi-Venue Dining Line-Up
Spiral’s open-cooking restaurant
Spiral is the flagship concept restaurant, built around multi-cuisine open-cooking stations. It forms the central expression of the hotel’s large-scale culinary programme and is one of the property’s defining dining venues.
Bars for evenings, music and patisserie
Sunset Bar presents nightly cultural shows, while 7 Pecados is associated with live bands. LeBar operates as a bistro, lounge and patisserie venue, extending the dining offer beyond the main restaurant.
A Lagoon Pool at the Heart of a Resort-Style Campus
Aquamarine water and cascading falls
The principal outdoor pool is lagoon-shaped, aquamarine and unheated, with cascading waterfalls and a view. A shallow end, sun loungers, umbrellas and towels support poolside use; the pool has been fully renovated.
Tropical grounds for active leisure
The outdoor setting includes tropical gardens, a jogging trail, tennis court, petanque court and putting green. Additional activities include aqua golf and mini golf, giving the broad grounds a recreational, staycation-oriented character.
Le Spa, SoFit and Structured Recreation
Seven-room French-Filipino spa
Le Spa is positioned as a French-Filipino treatment destination with seven treatment rooms, including two couples treatment rooms. Facilities include a dry sauna, steam room and jacuzzi, while signature treatments combine local Filipino touches with French elegance.
Fitness beyond a conventional gym
The fitness offer includes the SoFit centre, outdoor gym stations, a running trail, Kinesis and aero studio classes, as well as tennis and a putting green. Le Spa and the SoFit centre are identified as operating 24 hours.
Indoor and outdoor children’s facilities
Organized family recreation includes an indoor Kids Club and an outdoor playground, complemented by the property’s mini golf, aqua golf and other activity facilities.
The CCP Complex and Manila Bay’s Cultural Coast
A coastal civic and cultural district
The hotel sits in the CCP Complex on the Manila Bay waterfront, an area defined by cultural institutions, broad roads and large-scale civic architecture. Its setting is shaped by the cultural district and the bay rather than by a dense commercial neighbourhood.
Urban access with a resort atmosphere
The Pasay-Manila coastal corridor places the property near major arts and government-oriented venues. Expansive grounds, bay-facing leisure spaces and the hotel’s campus-like layout create a more secluded resort atmosphere within the city.
