Guest score

A wellness-focused Westin high-rise in Manila's Ortigas Center business district, with 303 rooms, a Heavenly Spa, rooftop bar and the MICHELIN-selected Cantabria by Chele Gonzalez.

Last updated August 6, 2026

The Westin Manila is a 32-storey, wellness-forward hotel that marked the Westin brand's re-entry to the Philippines when it opened in March 2023 in the Ortigas Center business district of Mandaluyong. The property offers 303 rooms and suites built around Westin's signature Heavenly Bed, plus floor-to-ceiling skyline views and thoughtful sleep and recovery touches. Independent reviewers consistently praise the warm, genuinely attentive Filipino hospitality, the comfortable and modern rooms, and the strong wellness program, which includes a Heavenly Spa by Westin, a swimming pool, and a WestinWORKOUT studio with Peloton equipment and guided RunWESTIN runs. Dining draws attention too: the MICHELIN-selected Cantabria by Chele Gonzalez serves Spanish cuisine on the upper floors, Seasonal Tastes handles all-day and buffet dining, and Aire rounds out the rooftop scene. Marriott Bonvoy elites and club-room guests enjoy a fourth-floor club lounge with all-day snacks and an evening buffet featuring rotating Filipino dishes. Watch-outs are modest and mostly operational: several guests note that breakfast and club-lounge service can feel disorganized or slow at peak times, and the business-district address means Manila traffic and roughly a 30-minute-plus transfer to the airport rather than a leisure or beach setting. Overall the hotel earns solid marks on TripAdvisor and reads as a reliable, service-driven choice for business travelers, Bonvoy members, and city-based staycationers seeking a calm, wellness-oriented base near Ortigas transport and malls.
