Mandarin Oriental to Close Hotel in Manila; New Hotel to Open in 2020

Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group has signed a long-term management contract for a new 275-room hotel in the heart of Metro Manila, Philippines.

The new Mandarin Oriental, Manila, which is scheduled to open in 2020, will be part of a mixed-use development centrally located within Makati City.

The group will close the existing Mandarin Oriental, Manila on Makati Avenue later this year.

The new Mandarin Oriental, Manila will feature a variety of restaurants and a signature spa. The hotel will be owned and developed by Ayalaland Hotels & Resorts. Further information on the new hotel project are expected once details are confirmed.

“Mandarin Oriental, Manila has been recognized as one of the city’s most iconic hotels since its opening in 1976, and the group wishes to express its sincere appreciation to all colleagues for their legendary service and support over the years. All hotel colleagues have been informed of the forthcoming closure and will receive full and fair severance payment and appropriate professional guidance,” said Torsten van Dullemen, General Manager of the hotel.
