Overview
Holiday Inn & Suites Makati is a hotel property in Makati, Metro Manila, Philippines, operating under the Holiday Inn brand and managed by InterContinental Hotels Group, now known as IHG Hotels & Resorts. The property forms part of the New Glorietta Phase 1 redevelopment at Ayala Center and is built above the redeveloped Glorietta shopping mall. It opened on April 1, 2013, extending the Holiday Inn presence into one of Metro Manila's principal commercial, shopping, and business districts. The hotel emerged from a broader Ayala Land redevelopment program that reorganized and expanded the Glorietta complex. Glorietta 1 reopened on November 5, 2012, followed by Glorietta 2 on December 7, 2012. Phase 1 was reported to have a budget of approximately 20 billion Philippine pesos and included hotels, offices, residential development, and retail components. Holiday Inn & Suites Makati therefore functions not as a standalone resort destination but as an urban hotel embedded in a mixed-use development, with direct proximity to the Ayala Center commercial environment. The property represented IHG's second partnership with Ayala Land in the Philippines after InterContinental Manila. That earlier property ceased operating in 2015, leaving Holiday Inn & Suites Makati as a continuing example of the relationship between IHG's hotel-management platform and Ayala Land's large-scale real-estate developments. The hotel's location supports accommodation demand from business travelers, shoppers, families, and visitors seeking access to Makati's offices, retail facilities, and transport connections. Its accommodation inventory includes six identified room types: Deluxe, Premier, Executive Club, Corner Suite, Executive Suite, and Makati Suite. This range gives the property a tiered offer spanning standard rooms, club-oriented accommodation, and larger suite formats. In 2016, the hotel converted its smoking floor into a non-smoking floor, making all guest rooms smoke-free. The change was a property-level operating decision that aligned the entire guest-room inventory around a smoke-free policy. As a single hotel property, Holiday Inn & Suites Makati is distinct from the wider international Holiday Inn brand and from IHG as a corporate group. Its identity is anchored in the Holiday Inn service proposition, while its physical setting, ownership relationship, and operating history are specific to Makati and the Ayala Center redevelopment. Publicly documented information is concentrated on the hotel's opening, development context, room categories, management relationship, and smoke-free conversion; detailed information about current executives, financial performance, standalone corporate structure, and later strategic initiatives is not established in the supplied reference material.
History
Holiday Inn & Suites Makati opened on April 1, 2013, in Makati, Metro Manila. The property was developed as part of New Glorietta Phase 1, a major redevelopment of the Glorietta shopping complex at Ayala Center. Rather than being built as an isolated hotel, it was integrated into a mixed-use urban project that combined retail, hotel, office, and residential elements. The redevelopment followed the reopening of Glorietta 1 on November 5, 2012, and Glorietta 2 on December 7, 2012. Phase 1 was associated with a reported budget of 20 billion Philippine pesos and was undertaken by Ayala Land. The hotel was constructed above the redeveloped Glorietta mall, giving it a close physical and commercial relationship with the Ayala Center retail district. InterContinental Hotels Group managed the property. The hotel was IHG's second partnership with Ayala Land in the Philippines, following InterContinental Manila. InterContinental Manila later ceased operations in 2015, while Holiday Inn & Suites Makati continued as a Holiday Inn-branded property in Makati. The hotel opened with six documented accommodation categories: Deluxe, Premier, Executive Club, Corner Suite, Executive Suite, and Makati Suite. These categories cover conventional guest rooms as well as larger and more premium suite accommodations. In 2016, the property converted its smoking floor into a non-smoking floor. Following that change, all guest rooms were described as 100% smoke-free. The available reference material does not establish a separate founding company, a standalone public listing, detailed financial results, or a roster of property executives. The hotel's documented history is consequently best understood through its relationship with IHG, Ayala Land, the Glorietta redevelopment, and its room and operating-policy changes.
