Manila Bulletin: Two consistent frontrunners aim to win big at the World Travel Awards

Can these two hotels nab more awards for this year’s World Travel Awards?

It’s a wonderful sight to see local hotels being nominated, not just as our country’s best, but for Asia’s best too. Last year, the Philippines received many notable accolades at the World Travel Awards, including Asia’s Leading Island Destination, Asia’s Leading Beach Destination, and, for the sixth consecutive year, Asia’s Leading Dive Destination. Several of our local hotels have also shared the spotlight, both as leading hotels locally and within Asia. For 2025, it’s looking bright once more for these two contenders.

Savoy Hotel Manila is celebrating its fifth consecutive nomination as Asia’s and the Philippines’ Leading Airport Hotel, whereas Belmont Hotel Manila has been nominated for Asia’s and the Philippines’ Leading City Hotel. Sitting snug across Ninoy Aquino International Airport Terminal 3, the two hotels are an easy refuge for travelers to access. The two hotels also take pride in providing warm hospitality for guests to make them feel right at home. Both fall under Megaworld Hotels and Resorts and provide easy access to the rest of the Newport City township.
