A nature-inspired escape within the bustling city

Imagine stepping into lush greenery that immediately relaxes the eyes — an oasis of calm set against towering skyscrapers and the steady rhythm of the city. Picture a thoughtful mix of plants and open spaces that quiet the mind and restore the spirit.

Soon, Wyndham Garden Manila Bay will welcome guests looking for exactly this kind of respite — refreshing surroundings without the burden of long drives, heavy traffic, or extended flights. Rising along Roxas Boulevard in Parañaque City, the hotel is in the final stages of preparation, poised to open as a modern, nature-inspired retreat within an urban setting.

Convenience is central to its appeal. The hotel is just a kilometer from Ninoy Aquino International Airport and close to well-known landmarks such as Baclaran Church, SM Mall of Asia, Ayala Malls Manila Bay, and City of Dreams Manila.

As the first Wyndham Garden in the Philippines and the twentieth property under the Wyndham Hotels and Resorts Group in the country, the hotel carries a distinct identity. The word “garden” shaped its concept —freshness, balance, and a resort-like calm thoughtfully woven into city living. At its core is a simple goal: to offer a place where guests can relax, recharge, and reconnect with nature while remaining close to the heart of Manila Bay.

“It’s a refreshing take on urban hospitality — one that truly reflects what Wyndham Garden stands for,” says general manager Benedict Bryan Alava.

From the moment guests step inside, the experience is meant to feel restorative, evoking the ease of a resort in a city setting. “We’re completing a portion of our rooms for the soft opening while the rest of the property continues to take shape,” Alava shares. “Guided by hospitality consultant James Lau, we blended nature-inspired comfort with modern functionality. We wanted a space where guests could breathe, unwind, and feel refreshed — a true urban retreat by the bay.”

This philosophy extends to the rooms themselves. “Our Garden by the Bay concept brings nature indoors,” Alava adds. “The rooms are spacious, bright, and comfortable — even our smallest is forty square meters. It’s about giving guests breathing space and balance while staying close to everything Manila has to offer.”

Behind the scenes, Alava and the hotel team work closely to ensure smooth operations, including executive chef Andrew Ko, who is shaping the property’s dining experience. “We’re excited to show Manila a different kind of Wyndham,” Ko says. “Wyndham Garden is the more premium sister brand, so guests can expect more. In food, we’re introducing a new dining experience in the Bay area — one that balances innovation with quality comfort.”

Chef Ko has been hands-on from the start, crafting a menu that speaks to both local and international guests. Inspired by the idea of a garden, his dishes highlight fresh produce, flavorful meats and seafood, and meals meant to be shared. “We’ll feature must-try Filipino dishes — some classic, others with a modern twist,” he explains. “Our foreign guests can discover Filipino cuisine here. They won’t need to go elsewhere to taste what our country does best.”

Guests may choose from three hundred well-appointed rooms, where natural tones, soft textures, and modern amenities come together to create a genuine sense of comfort. Amenities include an outdoor pool, a fully equipped fitness center, and meeting and banquet facilities for intimate gatherings or corporate events.

“The management invested heavily in world-class facilities,” Ko notes. “Our team has trained carefully to deliver the brand promise —convenience and comfort with a touch of premium Filipino hospitality. That same approach guides our food: hearty and familiar, yet thoughtfully innovative.”

As Wyndham Garden Manila Bay prepares to open its doors, the focus remains on delivering a seamless, memorable stay. “We’re redefining the guest experience,” Alava says. “From reservations to check-in and even the farewell, every step is designed to feel personal and effortless.”

The next time you plan a well-deserved rest close to nature, remember that serenity does not have to be far from the city. At Wyndham Garden Manila Bay, calm and convenience meet — right

where you are.
