Nestled in the heart of the Ortigas sits The Westin Manila, the first Marriott International property in the business district. It considers itself an "oasis for wellness" where travelers and locals can dine, unwind, and rest.
Whether you're staying for business or for pleasure, The Westin Manila provides a refreshing hotel experience for guests, who'll surely enjoy the good balance of options available.
In fact, we were so impressed with its facilities that we chose to shoot Cosmopolitan Philippines' April 2024 cover onsite, featuring the one and only Ina Raymundo!
Read on for several reasons why it's worth booking a stay at The Westin Manila.

The Westin Manila has six function rooms, perfect for team (or even company-wide) meetings. For example, the Sonata Ballroom features an open space with a ceiling height of 7 meters, including a built-in LED wall and customizable(!) cove lights.

It also made our lives easier when collaborating on makeup looks between layouts—the creatives were right there across the hall, instead of in a separate room or floor!

If you want to bring along your fur babies, then pet toy dogs are welcome to stay in designated pet-friendly rooms. These rooms are specially furnished with a Westin Heavenly Dog Bed and other essentials. (Standard cleaning fees and pet policies apply.)
The hotel also has an "A La Bark" menu for guests dining with dogs in pet-friendly areas in Seasonal Tastes and the Lobby Lounge!ADVERTISMENT - CONTINUE READING BELOW ↓View this post on Instagram
