Celebrating a decade of success, Belmont Hotel Manila has emerged as Megaworld’s most-booked property in Metro Manila, strengthening the company’s growing hospitality footprint. Located in Newport City, Pasay, and directly connected to NAIA Terminal 3 via Runway Manila, the hotel has maintained a high occupancy rate, a notable achievement sustained even through the challenges of the pandemic. Since 2020, Belmont Hotel Manila has recorded an average annual growth of 12 percent in room revenue, reflecting operational resilience and the steady recovery of travel demand.
This performance reinforces Megaworld Hotels & Resorts’ position as the Philippines’ largest hotel developer and operator, managing nearly 9,000 room keys across 14 properties nationwide.
A Proud Bearer of Megaworld’s Signature ‘Sampaguita’ Hospitality
Belmont Hotel Manila’s success has been fueled by the Sampaguita brand of service, setting a benchmark for hospitality expansion across the Philippines. Its achievements have inspired new hotel experiences in key tourism destinations, including Boracay, Cebu, Bacolod, and Iloilo. The expansion has given rise to additional hotel brands under Megaworld Hotels & Resorts, such as Savoy Hotel, Kingsford Hotel, and Grand Westside Hotel.
“The story of Belmont Hotel Manila represents the direction where Philippine hospitality is headed–one that combines inclusivity, sustainability, and investment growth. As new hotels rise across the country, our mission remains clear: to continue building spaces that honor Filipino warmth while keeping pace with the world’s evolving travel standards,” shares Cleofe Albiso, Managing Director of Megaworld Hotels and Resorts.
In recent years, the hotel has also broadened its offerings to support Muslim-friendly tourism. This initiative enhances inclusivity and aligns with the Department of Tourism’s efforts to promote culturally responsive travel experiences.
Exciting Growth Prospects Ahead
Belmont Hotel Manila continues to attract a significant number of international guests, primarily from the United States, Australia, Japan, and Great Britain. Over the years, the property has earned both local and international recognition for its service excellence. In 2019, the hotel received two distinctions from the World Luxury Hotel Awards, winning Luxury Airport Hotel and Luxury City Hotel (Southern Asia). More recently, it was honored with a 2024 Tripadvisor Travellers’ Choice Award and received a nomination for Asia and the Philippines’ Leading City Hotel at the 2025 World Travel Awards.
These accolades highlight Belmont Hotel Manila’s leadership in the regional hospitality market and its commitment to consistent service quality.
Megaworld Hotels & Resorts is set to expand its portfolio with 15 new hotels and over 7,000 additional rooms in the coming years. This growth will introduce the brand to major tourism markets in Pampanga, Palawan, and Bacolod, continuing the legacy that began with Belmont Hotel Manila in Newport City.
“Belmont Hotel Manila will always hold a special place in our history. Our investors have been part of this journey from the very beginning, and we make it our mission to care by ensuring that their investments continue to grow with us. Their trust and partnership are at the heart of what makes Belmont Hotel Manila truly special,” adds Cluster General Manager Sonny Alvaro.

With continued focus on both domestic and international markets, the hotel remains a benchmark for Philippine hospitality, shaping new standards for luxury, accessibility, and culturally responsive travel.
The property’s strategic location, strong growth in room revenue, and consistent accolades reinforce its role as a cornerstone in Megaworld’s portfolio, positioning it as a model for the company’s upcoming projects nationwide.
