AC Hotel by Marriott Manila opens in Ortigas with modern comfort and Filipino-inspired hospitality
PASIG CITY — The Philippines welcomes its first AC Hotel by Marriott with the grand opening of AC Hotel by Marriott Manila on Tuesday, December 16, 2025. Located at GLAS Tower, corner Ruby and Opal roads in Ortigas Center, the hotel offers a modern urban escape with Filipino-inspired hospitality. Guests can enjoy thoughtfully designed rooms, a rooftop bar, curated dining, and versatile spaces for both work and leisure.
The hotel’s design balances function and style, with guest rooms that include AC Moments, a feature offering lavender for bedtime relaxation and eucalyptus-and-mint shower steamers for a refreshing start to the day. For extended stays, rooms with two bedrooms, a full kitchen, and a cozy living area ensure both comfort and practicality. Deluxe Suite City View rooms offer double-glazed windows to block city noise and UV rays, with ceilings reaching 3.6 meters and panoramic city, sunset, or golf course views.
Curated dining and leisure experiences
Dining at AC Hotel by Marriott Manila blends local and European flavors. AC Kitchen serves classic Filipino favorites, including adobo, sinigang, pork sisig, chicken inasal, and vegetarian kare-kare, alongside European dishes like manchego cheese, prosciutto, and cazuela. Guests can also enjoy in-room dining with signature items like AC Burger and grilled bacalao.
The AC Lounge provides the perfect spot to relax with cocktails, afternoon tea, or small bites. From 5 to 7 pm, guests can enjoy the AC Hour, which includes complimentary tapas with drinks. For a nightcap with a view, the AC Bar on the 61st floor serves signature cocktails, including the hotel’s gin and tonic, while offering panoramic views of the Ortigas skyline.
Wellness, events, and versatile spaces
Wellness is at the heart of the hotel experience. The AC Fitness and indoor AC Swimming Pool, both on the 57th floor, allow guests to maintain their routines while enjoying city views. For gatherings, the AC Manila Grand Ballroom can host 250–300 guests and features floor-to-ceiling glass walls that showcase breathtaking skyline vistas. Executive Rooms provide flexible options for smaller meetings or private events, supporting up to 120 participants with natural lighting and modern technology.
The hotel’s design reflects collaboration with ASYA Design, led by Architect Andrew Cerwin Yu, Design Director Aaron Cedric Yu, and Interior Design Director Clarice Anne Yu-Sy. Their work emphasizes sustainability, timelessness, and thoughtful attention to detail. General Manager Melvyn Angeles ensures that service meets the AC Hotels standard while embracing the warmth of Filipino hospitality.
