The latest additions join earlier honorees such as Amanpulo, Nay Palad Hideaway in Siargao, The Peninsula Manila, Crimson Resort & Spa Mactan, Admiral Hotel Manila, Hotel Okura Manila, Shangri-La The Fort, Fairmont Makati, Raffles Makati, Solaire Resort, and Manila Marriott Hotel.
According to the Department of Tourism, the inclusion of DOT-accredited hotels in the Michelin Guide strengthens the Philippines’ reputation as a premier global travel destination and showcases the nation’s trademark warmth and hospitality.
The Michelin Guide is also set to unveil its much-awaited debut restaurant selection for the Philippines, focusing on Metro Manila and Cebu, in the last quarter of 2025.
“This highly anticipated selection will shine a spotlight on the Philippines’ most talented chefs and dedicated teams, celebrating their passion, innovation, and deep respect for local flavors and traditions,” the Michelin Guide stated on its website
