Grand Hyatt Manila is a true 5-star hotel, and it's the only Grand Hyatt in the Philippines. It sits right at the top of the country's tallest building in Bonifacio Global City (BGC), Taguig, so the views are the first thing you'll notice.
Rooms usually run from around ₱12,000 to ₱20,500 a night (roughly US$215–US$360), and the buffet at The Grand Kitchen is reason enough to visit even if you're not staying over. Here's everything you need to plan it.

Is there a Grand Hyatt in the Philippines?
Yes, and it's a bit of a landmark. Grand Hyatt Manila is the first and only Grand Hyatt in the Philippines, and it's been open since 2018. You'll find it in BGC, Taguig, one of Metro Manila's main business and lifestyle hubs.
The address is really the headline here. The hotel takes up the upper floors of the Metrobank Center, which has been the tallest building in the Philippines since 2017 at 318 metres. That means almost every room looks out across the Makati skyline all the way to Manila Bay, and the view alone makes it feel special. If you're flying in from Cebu, Davao or anywhere else in the country, it's an easy base for a city stay, with BGC's malls, restaurants and offices right on your doorstep.
Address: 8th Avenue corner 35th Street, Bonifacio Global City, Taguig City, 1634, Metro Manila

Is Grand Hyatt Manila a 5-star hotel?
Yes, it's a 5-star luxury hotel through and through. Hyatt classes it as a luxury property, and it's listed among Taguig's 5-star hotels. You can feel it the moment you walk in: spacious rooms with floor-to-ceiling windows, several dining spots to pick from, a proper spa and a gym that's open around the clock.
One thing worth knowing before you book is who it's really for. The vibe here leans business and special-occasion rather than beachy or family-resort, so it's a great pick for a polished city trip, a staycation with a view, or a stay close to the BGC offices. If you're travelling with little ones who want a pool-club day from morning to night, a resort-style hotel might suit you better.
Grand Hyatt Manila rooms and suites: what are your options?
All 461 rooms and suites share the same style: honey-toned wood panelling, maple floors, marble bathrooms with a separate toilet area, a walk-in closet and those big windows you'll keep going back to. What changes from one category to the next is mostly space, bed setup and whether you get Grand Club lounge access.
Here's a simple breakdown to help you pick.
Room or suite | Approx. size | Best for |
|---|---|---|
Grand King / Grand Twin | ~45 sqm | Couples or solo travellers wanting a luxe base |
Grand Club room | ~45–50 sqm | Guests who want lounge access (breakfast, snacks, drinks) |
Grand Suite | ~72 sqm | A corner suite with extra living space and panoramic views |
Diplomatic Suite | ~135 sqm | Business travellers wanting a large, formal layout |
Presidential Suite | ~301 sqm | A special-occasion splurge with dining area and kitchen |
Category names and sizes follow Hyatt's official room listings; exact naming can vary by booking channel.
Now for the part everyone wants to know: the cost. A standard room usually lands somewhere between ₱12,000 and ₱20,500 a night (about US$215–US$360), and suites go up from there. Rates bounce around a lot with the season and the day of the week, and here's a fun quirk: weekends can sometimes work out cheaper than mid-week. So always check the live rate for your dates before you book.
Klook Tip: If you're booking a staycation, look for packages that bundle breakfast or a dining credit, since the buffet add-on can otherwise push up your total quickly
Grand Hyatt BGC restaurants: where should you eat?
Grand Hyatt Manila has a handful of places to eat, but let's be honest, the buffet is the star. Here are the main in-house spots.

- 🥡 No. 8 China House – Chinese dining with dim sum, Peking duck and Cantonese seafood.
- 🍖 The Peak – a bi-level grill, whisky bar and music lounge on the hotel's highest floors. It hosts Le Petit Chef, a 3D animated dining show, and The Magic Table on the 66th floor.

How much is a buffet in Grand Hyatt BGC per person?
The Grand Kitchen buffet is priced per person, and what you pay depends on the meal. Here's what the most recently published rates look like:
Buffet | Hours | Price per person (net) |
|---|---|---|
Breakfast | Daily, ~6:15 AM–10:30 AM | ₱1,655 (kids under 12: ₱827) |

Wellness and amenities: what stands out?
Grand Hyatt Manila has all the wellness basics you'd hope for in a 5-star city hotel, plus a few nice extras. There's an outdoor pool, a spa with treatment rooms, a sauna, a steam room and a hot tub, and the gym is open 24 hours so you can squeeze in a workout whenever it suits you.
What really sets it apart from other BGC five-stars is the setting. The pool and gym get the same high-floor views as the rooms, and the spa leans toward longer, proper wellness packages rather than quick add-ons. If you're here for business or a staycation, the round-the-clock gym and calm, quiet spa are the bits guests rave about most.
Things to do near Grand Hyatt Manila in BGC
Here's the best part about staying here: BGC is super walkable, so it's easy to build a few outings around your stay. Here are some nearby picks you can book ahead.

Booking tips for the best rate
A few simple moves can lower your total stay cost:
- Compare your dates. Rates swing widely, and weekends can be cheaper than weekdays here. Shift your stay by a day or two if you're flexible.
- Sort your airport transfer early. Book a NAIA airport transfer ahead of time so you're not negotiating a ride after a late flight.
- Ask about buffet promos. Card and seasonal promos can cut buffet prices significantly, so check before you pay full price.
HIGHLIGHT: Klook Tip: NAIA to BGC takes about 30–45 minutes, but Manila traffic is unpredictable. Give yourself a buffer of an extra 30 minutes for any flight, especially on weekday evenings.
