Belmont Hotel Manila celebrates its 10th anniversary as Megaworld’s most-booked hotel in Metro Manila—solidifying its role as a key driver in the company’s expanding hospitality portfolio.
Strategically located in Newport City and directly linked to NAIA Terminal 3 via Runway Manila, Belmont Hotel Manila has consistently maintained high occupancy rates. Its performance remained resilient even at the height of the pandemic, with the hotel posting an average annual room-revenue growth of 12 percent since 2020.
This sustained momentum strengthens Megaworld Hotels & Resorts’ position as the Philippines’ largest homegrown hotel developer and operator, now approaching 9,000 room keys across 14 properties nationwide.
Elevating Filipino Hospitality Through the “Sampaguita” Service Brand
Belmont Hotel Manila’s growth continues to set standards for Megaworld’s signature Sampaguita Hospitality—a service philosophy now mirrored in the company’s expanding roster of hotel brands including Savoy Hotel, Kingsford Hotel, and Grand Westside Hotel. These brands now serve key tourism markets such as Boracay, Cebu, Bacolod, and Iloilo.
“The story of Belmont Hotel Manila represents where Philippine hospitality is headed—rooted in Filipino warmth, strengthened by sustainability, and anchored on long-term investment value,” said Cleofe Albiso, Managing Director of Megaworld Hotels & Resorts.
Supporting the country’s push for cultural inclusion, Belmont Hotel Manila has also enhanced its facilities and services to accommodate Muslim-friendly tourism—aligned with the Department of Tourism’s initiatives.
A Strong Mix of Domestic and International Markets
Belmont Hotel Manila continues to draw strong interest from both local travelers and foreign guests—particularly from the United States, Australia, Japan, and Great Britain.
Its excellence has been recognized globally. In 2019, the hotel won two major titles at the World Luxury Hotel Awards: Luxury Airport Hotel and Luxury City Hotel (Southern Asia). More recently, it received the 2024 Tripadvisor Travellers’ Choice Award and was nominated for Asia and the Philippines’ Leading City Hotel at the 2025 World Travel Awards.
Part of a Bigger Growth Blueprint
Megaworld Hotels & Resorts is poised for significant expansion, with 15 additional hotels and over 7,000 rooms set to rise in emerging tourism hubs including Pampanga, Palawan, and Bacolod. Belmont Hotel Manila’s decade-long success in Newport City remains the foundation of this forward-looking growth strategy.
“Belmont Hotel Manila will always be a special milestone for us,” said Cluster General Manager Sonny Alvaro. “Our investors have been part of this journey from day one, and we are committed to ensuring that their investments continue to grow. Their trust fuels everything we do.”
