We’re excited to welcome Mandarin Oriental back to the Philippines, and to Makati City specifically. More than just a physical landmark, the brand was also a cultural landmark, with the hotel hosting celebrations and special events. Ayala Land is thrilled to bring the brand back to the country to help future generations of Filipinos mark milestones and create memories.

Ayala Land and the Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group (MOHG) have officially started the countdown to the storied hospitality brand’s return to Makati City. 

ALI President and CEO Anna Ma. Margarita “Meean” B. Dy, ALI SVP and Leasing and Hospitality Group Head Mariana Zobel de Ayala, AyalaLand Hotels and Resorts Corporation President and CEO George C. Aquino, MOHG Chief Operating Officer Christoph Mares, and MOHG Development Director James Mabbutt, visited the new site of Mandarin Oriental Makati on April 22.
 
The new Mandarin Oriental, located in Ayala Triangle Gardens at the corner of Paseo de Roxas and Makati Avenue, is slated to open in 2026. The hotel will have 276 guest rooms and an extensive range of amenities, including a premium selection of restaurants and its signature spa.

“Makati City has always been the commercial center of the country. We’re working to make it the cultural heart of the country as well, keeping pace not just with the changing lifestyles of Filipinos but also with global trends,” said Dy.

The Ayala and MOHG executives expressed their shared anticipation for the reemergence of Mandarin Oriental, reflecting on the hotel's deep-rooted connections with the city and their commitment to creating a destination that seamlessly integrates the heritage and modern aspirations of Makati City.
