Admiral Hotel Manila - MGallery has welcomed its first guests, marking the debut of Accor's MGallery brand in the Philippines.

The hotel's 123 guestrooms are equipped with premium amenities such as Samsung TVs with Bose soundbars, Nespresso coffee machines, TWG tea sets, and organic Appelles bath amenities. Six Executive Suites and the Doña Suite (Presidential Suite) offer expansive living space as well as luxurious Cinq Mondes toiletries.

Four dining spaces offer an array of culinary concepts and Filipino-Spanish, French, and Asian flavours at Admiral Club Manila Bay, Tapas Bar and Josper Grill, situated on the rooftop offering uninterrupted Manila Bay views. Also on the rooftop, with stunning Manila Bay views, is the alfresco Coconut Grove. At El Atrio, guests can enjoy high tea refreshments, beverages, and freshly baked pastries from celebrity pastry chef, Kevin Ong. Meantime on the hotel’s lower level, Ruby Wong’s Godown offers inventive bar eats, mixology, and entertainment.

The hotel offers a collection of spaces for board meetings, conferences, seminars and gala events. The 192-sqm grand ballroom can host up to 110 guests while two other ballrooms are ideal for smaller functions. A pre-function space, complete with a well-stocked bar, is the perfect place to meet and greet before any main event. The venues feature Accor’s ALL CONNECT hybrid meeting solution and are equipped with modern sound systems, lighting equipment, and meeting technology.

For wellness and recreation, the pet-friendly hotel also features a spa, a gym and an outdoor rooftop pool.

The design of the property honours its legacy as a former 1940s-era landmark. In the lobby, guests are greeted by the Spanish Room reception lounge with its eye-catching Las Paginas de la Historia art installation bringing the stories of the Admiral Hotel to life. The colourful art ceiling, traditional Barandilla balconies and the reinterpreted Machuca floor tiles all represent the country’s Filipino-Spanish culture.

Set along Manila's seaside Roxas Boulevard with sweeping views across Manila Bay, the hotel is within a 20-minute drive from Ninoy Aquino International Airport. Close by are the Philippine International Convention Center (PICC), as well as embassies, financial and cultural institutions, museums, parks, shopping malls, and the historic Spanish colonial-era walled city of Intramuros.
