Hilton has announced the debut of its Hilton Garden Inn brand in the Philippines with the signing of two new hotels: Hilton Garden Inn Manila Quezon City and Hilton Garden Inn Cebu Mactan. These properties mark the brand's first entry into the country and expand Hilton's portfolio to five properties in the Philippines.

Hilton Garden Inn Manila Quezon City

Located in Quezon City, the country’s most populous city and an emerging business hub, Hilton Garden Inn Manila Quezon City will be part of a mixed-use complex within the city’s Central Business District. This prime location offers guests easy access to the Metro Manila Mass Transit System, as well as popular attractions like the Smart Araneta Coliseum.

The hotel will feature 210 guest rooms and suites, starting from 24 square meters, designed to cater to both business and leisure travellers. Other amenities include an all-day dining restaurant, a fitness centre, and an outdoor pool. The property will also offer over 450 square meters of flexible meeting and event spaces.

In Cebu, Hilton Garden Inn makes its first appearance in the “Queen City of the South.” Located just off the coast of Cebu City on Mactan Island, the hotel is positioned close to the Mactan-Cebu International Airport, which saw a 13% increase in arrivals in 2024. It is also near popular natural attractions such as Nalusuan and Oslob, known for their marine life and whale shark activities.

The 151-room Hilton Garden Inn Cebu Mactan will offer spacious rooms starting at 26 square meters, an all-day dining restaurant and bar, a fitness centre, and an outdoor pool. The property will also provide versatile event spaces of up to 350 square meters, ideal for both business meetings and social gatherings.

Hilton eyes Philippines' tourism potential

“The Philippines is a strong focus for Hilton, as we see the massive long term tourism potential for the country,” said Maria Ariizumi, vice president of development for South East Asia at Hilton. “As markets across the Philippines continues to develop, Hilton Garden Inn is the perfect product for owners and travellers – offering just the right level of comfort and service.”

Both properties will participate in Hilton Honors, Hilton's loyalty programme, offering guests benefits such as flexible payment options and discounts for direct bookings. Hilton continues to expand its presence in Southeast Asia, with plans to increase its focused service footprint from 12 to 40 properties in the region over the coming years.
