“Westin has returned to the Philippines with The Westin Manila, bringing its renowned wellness amenities back to the country. Situated in the heart of the city and close to two popular shopping malls, this hotel is ideal for both tourists and business travelers. The Westin Manila features its signature “”heavenly”” products in every room, emphasizing health and wellness, which offers a refreshing change from typical hotel experiences.
Here are five reasons why The Westin Manila stands out:
The hotel’s skyscraper offers exceptional views of the city’s growing skyline and lush greenery. Rooms have floor-to-ceiling windows, some even in the bathroom, filling the space with natural light. The highlight of each room is the Westin Heavenly Bed, with its pillowtop mattress, plush pillows, and white duvet. This bed promises a restful sleep, even if you’re jet-lagged. Bedside power outlets and a wireless charging pad add to the convenience.
The rooms feature versatile side tables that can serve as desks or dining spots. A sofa or armchair in the corner is perfect for watching TV, and the refrigerator is stocked with complimentary bottled water, replenished daily. The walk-in closet includes two robes and ample shelf space, showcasing thoughtful design.
Bathrooms come with the famous Heavenly Shower, which now includes a rainfall showerhead and a separate wand with excellent water pressure. A soaking tub complements the shower, and the white tea-scented toiletries are now eco-friendly, packaged in wall-mounted pump bottles. The vanity is equipped with additional toiletries, including dental kits and shaving sets. The friendly housekeeping staff provides meticulous service and evening turndown.
The pool deck features a large swimming pool with an infinity edge, creating the illusion of water spilling over the edge. Located on the fourth floor, it offers great views among the neighboring skyscrapers. A bar on the deck serves refreshments for guests lounging by the pool.
Adjacent to the pool is a spacious gym with modern equipment, including Peloton bikes and free weights. The WestinWORKOUT Fitness Studio is well-regarded, with chilled towels available for workouts.
The RunWESTIN program is another highlight, offering guests a jogging map, towels, and water. Guests can also join guided runs led by hotel staff who point out local sights. There are about 225 RunWESTIN concierges worldwide.
Seasonal Tastes, the hotel’s main restaurant, serves three meals a day. The breakfast buffet features made-to-order stations for noodle soups, eggs, and waffles, along with freshly squeezed wellness juices and infused waters. Each morning, there is a selection of Filipino dishes, great for a quick culinary adventure. A tropical fruit station includes yogurt and frozen popsicles made from fresh juice.
For lunch and dinner, the restaurant offers a range of international dishes with several Filipino options. Guests can choose from an à la carte menu or the buffet, which sometimes features themed nights like seafood. Weekend rates may include all-inclusive meal packages for a staycation. The lobby lounge offers a variety of drinks and light snacks.
The Westin brand’s focus on wellness is evident throughout the hotel. A calming white tea scent welcomes guests upon arrival. Restaurant menus offer half-portions to help manage portion sizes. Guests can borrow workout gear and request items like yoga mats and resistance bands. Recovery kits, including Hyperice equipment for air compression massage, are available to relieve tension after a workout or long flight.
An in-room menu promotes restful sleep with herbal teas and other sleep-friendly options. Aromatherapy oil is provided by the bed, and a spa offers massage and beauty treatments.
The hotel’s Filipino hospitality is exceptional, with staff members greeting guests warmly and offering helpful recommendations for local attractions.
The fourth-floor club lounge, accessible to top Marriott Bonvoy elite members and guests in club rooms, offers complimentary food and beverages. Guests can enjoy breakfast, light snacks, and an evening happy hour with a buffet of hot and cold items, including Filipino recipes. The open bar and attentive staff create a welcoming atmosphere throughout the hotel.”
