The Fort, Manila
Contemporary urban luxury with Filipino design accents. Marble and silk in the rooms, a glossy lobby, rooftop pool deck, and a speakeasy bar that locals actually use on weekends. It feels more city-energy than resort-retreat.
The Back Room speakeasy bar consistently wins Tatler's Top 20 Best Bars in the Philippines — worth a visit even if you are not staying
Why It Matters
Consistently ranked among the top city hotels in Asia Pacific — 2026 Hotel of the Year by Tatler Philippines, Forbes 4-Star, and #2 Best City Hotel by Travel + Leisure Luxury Awards Asia Pacific 2025. Kerry Sports Manila, the 8,000 sqm health and leisure club on the premises, is regarded as one of the largest and most comprehensive indoor sports facilities in Metro Manila.
Shangri-La The Fort is a 250-metre glass tower punching above the BGC skyline, and one of the tallest skyscrapers in the Philippines. The hotel opened in March 2016 as a mixed-use landmark — 576 rooms and suites plus 97 serviced residences, 8 dining venues, a cavernous sports and leisure club, and a two-level retail arcade all under one roof. The name references the neighbourhood's roots as Fort Bonifacio, a former military base that transformed into Manila's most polished urban district.
