News: Mandarin Oriental Manila Scheduled to Come Back in 2026

Update, November 2026: Mandarin Oriental Makati, Manila is due to open on 14 December 2026, with 275 rooms and suites above Ayala Triangle Gardens.

Mandarin Oriental is scheduled to return to the heart of Makati, Manila in 2026, thanks to a collaboration between Ayala Land and the Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group (MOHG). Located in the prestigious Ayala Triangle Gardens at the intersection of Paseo de Roxas and Makati Avenue, the new hotel will feature 276 guest rooms, luxurious dining options, and a world-class spa.
