Stunning new 212-key property will welcome guests to the Philippine capital from 2032

IHG Hotels & Resorts, one of the world’s leading hotel companies, is bringing back one of its iconic luxury brands to the Philippines with the signing of InterContinental Manila.

Scheduled to open in 2032, the 212-key hotel will mark InterContinental’s return to the vibrant and historic capital after more than 15 years, reaffirming IHG’s long-term commitment to the country’s tourism growth. InterContinental Manila will join the world’s first and largest luxury hotel brand, showcasing a luxury travel experience tailored for the modern traveler.

InterContinental Manila will be located in Bonifacio Global City (BGC) – also known as Global City or The Fort – a 240-hectare master-planned district that has transformed from a former military base into Metro Manila’s most modern business hub. BGC is home to the Philippine Stock Exchange, leading multinational corporations, and some of the country’s tallest and most iconic landmarks.

The hotel will offer an array of exceptional amenities, including an all-day dining restaurant and a signature specialty restaurant and bar. Guests can take advantage of versatile meeting and event spaces, featuring ballroom, function, and meeting rooms. For relaxation and wellness, the property boasts a fully equipped health club and spa, complemented by an outdoor swimming pool with a poolside bar for a refreshing experience.

IHG is partnering with Keyland Corporation, Philippine Realty and Holdings Corporation and Greenhills Properties Inc. to bring InterContinental back to Manila.

InterContinental Manila will join a global portfolio of more than 240 InterContinental hotels and resorts worldwide, alongside a growing pipeline of two properties for the brand in the Philippines, and 104 hotels in the pipeline globally. This year, InterContinental will celebrate its 80th anniversary and continues to set the benchmark for luxury hospitality.
