Taking airport hospitality to new heights
Once the journey finally begins, every part of the experience matters, making the choice of where to stay an important part of the adventure.
Travelers arriving in Manila have another reason to look forward to a comfortable stay. Savoy Hotel Manila has been named Asia’s Leading Airport Hotel 2026 and Philippines’ Leading Airport Hotel 2026 at the World Travel Awards, securing its sixth consecutive Philippine win and its second recognition at the Asia level.
Located across from NAIA Terminal 3 in Newport City, the 684-room property offers travelers an accessible place to rest before an early flight, after a late arrival or during a short Manila stopover. The World Travel Awards, established in 1993, recognizes achievements across the international travel, tourism and hospitality industries. Winners are determined through votes from travel professionals and consumers worldwide.
For Savoy Hotel Manila General Manager Den Navarro, the recognition represents the hotel’s commitment to welcoming travelers from all walks of life. “Every Guest who comes through Savoy Hotel Manila carries a different journey,” Navarro said, describing the property as a place for business travelers, families, Overseas Filipino Workers and vacationers who need time to pause and recharge.
GENERAL manager Den Navarro holds Savoy Hotel Manila’s two World Travel Awards—Asia’s Leading Airport Hotel and Philippines’ Leading Airport Hotel—on behalf of the hotel and its entire team.
That welcome is shaped by the hotel’s Sampaguita Brand of Service, bringing a distinctly Filipino approach to hospitality while maintaining the convenience expected from an internationally recognized airport property. And convenience has become increasingly valuable as travel itself takes on a different meaning.
With airfare, fuel and other travel expenses influencing holiday budgets, taking a vacation can feel like a luxury. Once the journey finally begins, every part of the experience matters, making the choice of where to stay an important part of the adventure.
After a long flight, hours spent exploring a new city or a full day touring attractions, travelers need more than a place to leave their luggage. A comfortable hotel gives them somewhere to put their feet up, get a proper meal, catch up on sleep and prepare for the next day.
This is where a good airport hotel can make a difference. Savoy Hotel Manila combines its proximity to the airport with dining outlets, an atrium pool, wellness facilities and meeting spaces. Guests can use their time between flights to rest, eat, work, swim or simply recharge before continuing their journey.
The experience also extends to more mindful and inclusive travel. Through MEGreen, Mindful Travel programs, community initiatives and responsible hotel practices, the property incorporates sustainability and local culture into the guest experience. Muslim-friendly accommodations and dining options further support travelers with different needs and backgrounds.
