Accor has announced the signing of Mövenpick Manila Bay Westside in partnership with Megaworld, the Philippines’ largest township developer and operator of homegrown hotel brands.
The landmark signing will introduce the world’s largest Mövenpick hotel with 1,530 keys, marking a significant milestone in Accor’s growth strategy in Asia and reflecting the Group’s strong momentum in the premium segment.
The debut of Mövenpick Manila Bay Westside in 2026 will see Accor become the largest international hotel operator in the Philippines with 13 hotels and more than 4,700 keys across eight brands, and a strong development pipeline of 16 hotels.
Rooted in Swiss heritage, Mövenpick has evolved into a hospitality brand known for generous, uplifting service and meaningful moments shared with close ones. The brand’s spirit of Joyful Reconnection celebrates the simple pleasures of being together, turning the ordinary into the extraordinary through flavour, warmth, and thoughtful daily rituals.
Strategically positioned within Megaworld’s expansive Westside City Township Development in Parañaque, the hotel will benefit from its location in an integrated tourism estate offering a mix of retail, entertainment, business, and leisure attractions.
Opening mid-2026
Opening mid-2026, Mövenpick Manila Bay Westside will offer a range of convivial dining experiences. The hotel will feature four culinary destinations, including a specialty Filipino restaurant, an international all-day dining venue, and a signature bar. Guests can also enjoy Mövenpick’s iconic Chocolate Hour, an immersive, complimentary experience offered every afternoon.
Designed to meet the needs of today’s dynamic business and events market, the hotel will offer modern, flexible meeting and event spaces, suitable for everything from intimate social gatherings to large-scale conferences, across both indoor and outdoor settings.
Andrew Langdon, Chief Development Officer, Asia, at Accor, commented: “Across Asia, we continue to grow sustainably by collaborating closely with our partners and ensuring we bring the right brand to the right market. With increasing visitor arrivals and a growing domestic travel sector, this landmark project represents an opportunity to enhance our premium presence while contributing to the country’s long-term tourism growth. We look forward to creating a flagship hotel that sets new standards for premium hospitality.”
Cleofe Albiso, Managing Director of Megaworld Hotels & Resorts, commented: “The opening of the world’s largest Mövenpick is a powerful testament to our group’s efforts to scale our world-class offerings and meet the demands of the broader international market. As we rebrand Grand Westside Hotel into the world’s largest Mövenpick, we continue to generate more jobs, help drive stronger tourism activity, and open doors for communities to grow alongside this development.”
