Around 6,500 new hotel rooms expected in Manila by 2030

The hotel pipeline signals confidence in the city’s hospitality sector.

Metro Manila's hotel market expanded in Q1 2026 with the addition of 304 rooms, while operating performance remained resilient despite emerging geopolitical headwinds, according to JLL.

New supply came from the openings of Somerset Valero Makati and Alino Hotel in Quezon City. JLL expects a further 4,000 rooms to be delivered by the end of 2026, with approximately 6,500 new rooms forecast to enter the market by 2030.

The consultancy said Metro Manila hotels continued to post healthy trading results, with both ADR and RevPAR increasing year-on-year. Average daily rate reached PHP8,034 during the first quarter, up 0.3% from a year earlier.

Foreign hotel brands continue to dominate the development pipeline, highlighting confidence in the long-term outlook for the market.

While tourism demand may face short-term disruptions from geopolitical uncertainty, JLL said the sector remains well positioned for recovery and continued supply growth.
