Long-Weekend Escape? Check Into These Michelin-Recognized Hotels in Metro Manila
No flights required. Newport World Resorts' Grand Staycation Experience puts two Michelin-recognized hotels—and three other international properties—within one destination.
The best escapes can sometimes be found closer to home.
The long weekend is usually accompanied by a familiar dilemma: brave the traffic heading out of town or stay in the city and risk spending the break exactly as you would any other weekend. But what if the answer lies somewhere in between?
At Newport World Resorts, a staycation can feel less like a compromise and more like a destination in itself. Through its Grand Staycation Experience 2.0, the integrated resort brings together five international hotel brands under one address, allowing guests to experience a range of hospitality styles at their own pace. At the heart of the offering are Hotel Okura Manila and Manila Marriott Hotel, both recognized by the Michelin Guide—a distinction that places them among some of the country's most noteworthy luxury stays.

Priced at P40,999, the Grand Staycation package includes breakfast for two at each property, access to hotel amenities, flexible redemption options, and no expiration date, allowing guests to spread their stays throughout the year rather than squeeze them into a single weekend.
For travelers seeking a meaningful reset without boarding a flight, these world-class properties offer compelling reasons to check in.
Hotel Okura Manila
Hotel Okura Manila leans into restraint, drawing inspiration from Japan's renowned philosophy of omotenashi—a style of hospitality rooted in attentiveness, sincerity, and anticipating a guest's needs before they are even expressed.
The experience is calm, deliberate, and deeply considered. From its spacious accommodations to its refined interiors, the hotel offers a welcome contrast to the pace of city life. Every detail, from the design language to the service culture, reflects the understated elegance that has long defined the Okura brand.
For food lovers, the experience extends beyond the room. The property is home to Yamazato, the celebrated Japanese restaurant that has also earned recognition from the Michelin Guide. Whether it's an indulgent omakase dinner or a leisurely breakfast before checkout, dining becomes part of the escape itself.
More than a hotel, Hotel Okura Manila feels like a brief transport to Japan—without the need for a passport.
Manila Marriott Hotel
If Hotel Okura Manila is defined by serenity, Manila Marriott Hotel offers a different kind of luxury—one centered on leisure and ease.
The property's rooms overlook the lush greens of the Villamor Golf Course, creating an unexpectedly tranquil backdrop in the middle of Metro Manila. The hotel has long been a favorite among both business and leisure travelers, thanks to its expansive facilities and resort-like atmosphere. Guests can spend the afternoon lounging by The Deck, enjoying a leisurely meal, or simply retreating to well-appointed rooms designed for comfort.

Its culinary offerings are equally noteworthy. CRU Steakhouse and Man Ho, two of the property's signature restaurants, have both earned recognition from the Michelin Guide, making for memorable dining experiences as well.
For families, couples, and even solo travelers looking for a quick reset, Manila Marriott Hotel delivers a polished, full-service experience that makes a staycation feel genuinely restorative.
One Destination, Five Distinct Experiences
Beyond its two Michelin-recognized properties, Newport World Resorts is also home to Hilton Manila, Sheraton Manila Hotel, and Holiday Inn Express Manila.
Hilton Manila offers contemporary comforts and family-friendly amenities, while Sheraton Manila Hotel appeals to aviation enthusiasts with select rooms overlooking the runways of NAIA Terminal 3. Holiday Inn Express Manila, meanwhile, focuses on practical comfort and convenience, making it ideal for quick weekend escapes.
Together, the five hotels form one of the largest collections of international hospitality brands within a single destination in Metro Manila.
Through the Grand Staycation Experience 2.0 package, guests can enjoy one-night stays across all five properties, complete with breakfast for two and access to each hotel's amenities, with the flexibility to redeem their stays throughout the year.
