Ayala Land Hospitality and Marriott International introduce Moxy Hotels to the local tourism scene
Moxy Circuit Makati will soon rise in the heart of Circuit’s 21-hectare development, a premier live-work-play destination dotted with retail and boutique shops, event grounds, green and active lifestyle spaces, and arts and entertainment venues.
This bold move was initiated by the partnership between Ayala Land Hospitality (ALH) and Marriott International, resulting in the debut of Moxy Hotels in the country. Moxy Circuit Makati joins Marriott’s playful, design-focused hotel brand created for today’s socially driven, experience-seeking travelers.
“Moxy Hotels is celebrated worldwide for its playful, high-energy vibe that makes travel feel exciting and different,” said Kevin Iranzo, director of Hotel Development - Philippines, Marriott International. “It’s the perfect fit for dynamic urban destinations filled with culture and entertainment. We’re truly excited to bring Moxy Hotels to the Philippines and especially to Circuit Makati.”
With 260 contemporary rooms and suites featuring playful, multi-functional design, guests will be pampered with all the creature comforts, packaged effortlessly for a fun stay. Arrivals are nothing but unique and seamless at Bar Moxy, where guests can pick up their room key and enjoy a signature welcome drink. Throughout their stay, guests can look forward to a smooth work-life blend with access to social spaces, a fitness center, swimming pool, meeting rooms, and event venues.
Local tourists will experience firsthand Moxy’s brand philosophy of thoughtful, spirited, and fun stays in a hotel that doubles as a social hub for guests seeking an adventurous retreat. True to ALH’s commitment to local talent and creative innovation, guests will be taking a deep dive into a cultural escape. Interiors will serve as panels for graphic storytelling by Filipino comic book artists. Every line, mural, and accent will be adorned with canvases of color, movement, and playful energy. Drawing inspiration from the rich visual language of Philippine komiks, the interior artwork weaves humor, nostalgia, and contemporary flair into every corner, a fitting tribute to local artistry and to the timeless Filipino love for storytelling in all its dynamic, colorful forms.
“We are excited to design something truly lifestyle-driven, while beginning to tell the story of a different kind of art form, an ode to the illustrators and komiks artists who have long shaped a powerful visual narrative in the Philippines,” Creative Director Paloma Urquijo Zobel de Ayala shared. “Moxy is set to be our guests’ backstage pass to the city’s creative pulse. From design to service touchpoints, every stay is thoughtfully curated to reflect the spirit of the neighborhood and the moments that matter, always with a dash of fun and a sense of adventure. Whether you’re creatively curious or simply seeking a design-forward, accessible stay, Moxy is poised to become the go-to destination in Manila’s rising arts hub, and we can’t wait to share this project with you.”
This milestone follows Ayala Land Hospitality’s bold new chapter, unveiled just months ago, with plans to double its room inventory to 8,000 by 2030 through an ambitious nationwide expansion.
“Our vision remains steadfast: to bring Filipino hospitality to the global stage by crafting experiences that connect guests more deeply with each place and its culture,” said ALH President and CEO George Aquino. “With Moxy Hotels, we offer travelers a playful and vibrant hotel experience. We’re excited to collaborate with Marriott to create what we believe will set a new benchmark for authentic, dynamic, and imaginative urban destinations.”
As global travelers increasingly look for immersive, culturally rich experiences, ALH’s strategic refresh positions it at the forefront of a new chapter in Philippine tourism, where hospitality goes beyond service to embrace storytelling, sustainability, and an authentic sense of place.
