Hotels in and near Pasay: At a glance
If you're flying into Manila and want to stay near the airport, the bay, or the big casino-resorts, Pasay and the surrounding Manila Bay area are where most travellers land. Here's a quick snapshot before we get into the details.
Hotel | Star rating | Area | Nearest to NAIA | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Belmont Hotel Manila | 4-star | Newport City (Pasay) | 5-min walk to Terminal 3 | Layovers, airport convenience |
Solaire Resort Entertainment City | 5-star | Entertainment City (Parañaque) | ~10–15 min drive | Luxury, casino, bay views |
Winford Resort & Casino Manila | 4-star | Santa Cruz (City of Manila) | ~30–45 min drive | Casino stays near Chinatown |
Admiral Hotel Manila – MGallery | 5-star | Malate (City of Manila) | ~25–30 min drive | Heritage luxury, Manila Bay sunset |
Century Park Hotel | 4-star | Malate / Pablo Ocampo | ~20–25 min drive | Mid-range, central, family-friendly |
Pasay Centrale Hotel | Unrated (budget) | Pasay City | ~8 min drive (4 km) | Budget stays, short layovers |
The Excelsior Hotel | 4-star | Las Piñas (near Pasay) | ~25–35 min drive | Business, events, south Metro Manila |

Where should you stay? Newport City vs Entertainment City vs Roxas Boulevard
The Manila Bay hotel scene splits into three distinct corridors, and picking the right one saves you time and taxi fare. Here's how they compare.
Corridor | Where it is | Vibe | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
Newport City (Newport World Resorts) | Beside NAIA Terminal 3, Pasay | Airport-side, integrated resort, mall + casino | Layovers, early flights, first-timers |
Entertainment City | Aseana, Parañaque (bayside) | Big integrated casino-resorts, Manila Bay sunsets | Luxury stays, gaming, families wanting resort facilities |
Roxas Boulevard strip | Malate / Ermita, City of Manila | Heritage, bay views, walkable to old Manila | Culture, sunsets, mid-range to luxury |
Newport City is the most practical landing spot if your priority is the airport. It sits directly across NAIA Terminal 3, connected by Runway Manila, an air-conditioned pedestrian bridge.
Entertainment City is the bayside resort cluster (Solaire, Okada, City of Dreams) where you'll find Manila's biggest integrated resorts and the famous Manila Bay sunset.
The Roxas Boulevard strip runs north toward Malate and Ermita, closer to historic sites like Rizal Park and Intramuros.
If you're arriving from elsewhere in the Philippines, most domestic flights land at NAIA Terminal 4 (Manila domestic) or Terminal 3, so the Newport City and Entertainment City corridors are the easiest to reach on arrival.
Want to stay close but not on the bay? Pasay City itself has budget options near the airport, and neighbouring Las Piñas (to the south) and Makati (to the east) add more choice within a reasonable drive.
Where To Stay In Pasay
Belmont Hotel Manila: the airport-convenience pick
Belmont Hotel Manila Standard Queen Room
Belmont Hotel Manila is a 4-star hotel in Newport City, Pasay, and it's part of Megaworld Hotels & Resorts, the largest Filipino hotel chain in the country. Its biggest selling point is location: it's a 5-minute walk to NAIA Terminal 3 via the air-conditioned Runway Manila bridge, so you can roll your luggage straight from arrivals to check-in without stepping into Manila traffic. That makes it a top choice if you have an early flight, a layover, or you just want a stress-free first night.
The hotel has 459 rooms, a rooftop pool with runway and skyline views, and Café Belmont for all-day dining.
What Travellers Say: Filipino travellers who booked on Klook consistently praise the location and service. One guest summed it up simply, noting the hotel is "very accessible to the airport" with great breakfast and accommodating staff. Another highlighted the cleanliness and the warm welcome from reception and baggage staff on arrival.
It's not a beachfront resort, so set expectations accordingly, but for convenience near the airport, it's hard to beat.
Address: Newport Boulevard, Newport City, Pasay, 1301 Metro Manila
Check-in: 2 PM
Check-out: 12 PM
What’s Nearby: Newport World Resorts (casino, dining, mall) is a 5-minute walk; Newport Performing Arts Theatre is about 5 minutes on foot.
Solaire Resort Entertainment City: the luxury bayside resort
Solaire Resort Entertainment City
Solaire Resort Entertainment City is a 5-star integrated resort and the first to open in the 120-hectare Entertainment City complex along Manila Bay in Parañaque. With around 800 rooms across its Bay and Sky towers, a huge gaming floor, a 1,740-seat theatre, and a roster of signature restaurants, it's built for travellers who want everything under one roof. Bay-view rooms look out over the famous Manila Bay sunset, and the pool draws consistent praise.
What Travellers Say: Filipino guests rate it highly. Reviewers on Klook describe it as "always the best," singling out the kids' club, the breakfast buffet, and the corner rooms with city views. One family noted a free upgrade to a Grand Deluxe corner room with extensive, delicious dining options.
If you're travelling with kids or want a full resort experience close to the airport, Solaire is a strong pick. It's roughly a 10–15 minute drive from NAIA, depending on traffic.
Address: 1 Aseana Avenue, Entertainment City, Tambo, Parañaque, 1701 Metro Manila
Check-in: 3 PM
Check-out: 12 PM
What’s Nearby: SM Mall of Asia is about 10 minutes away; Okada Manila and City of Dreams Manila are within the same Entertainment City cluster.
If you'd rather not commit to a single resort's casino and prefer to compare gaming and entertainment options across the bay, the broader Entertainment City area lets you hop between resorts by short taxi rides.
Admiral Hotel Manila: Roxas Boulevard heritage stay
Admiral Hotel Manila Deluxe Room
If you want bay views with a side of history, the Roxas Boulevard strip in Malate is your corridor, and Admiral Hotel Manila – MGallery is its standout. This 5-star boutique hotel sits in a landmark 1940s building at 2138 Roxas Boulevard, reimagined under Accor's MGallery collection with Filipino-Spanish Art Deco design. It has 123 rooms, a rooftop pool, and the Admiral Club restaurant on the top floor overlooking Manila Bay. It earned a spot in the MICHELIN Guide's 2024 and 2025 recommendations, so it's a genuine special-occasion choice.
It's about a 25–30 minute drive from NAIA. Rooms face either the bay or the city, and the bay-view rooms are the ones to book for sunset.
What Travellers Say: A Filipino guest gave it a perfect score on Klook, noting the hotel warmly welcomed their pet, making it a great pick for a staycation with furbabies. It's well-suited to couples, design lovers, and anyone who wants to be within reach of Rizal Park and Intramuros.
Address: 2138 Roxas Boulevard, Malate, City of Manila, 1004
Check-in: 2 PM
Check-out: 12 PM
What’s Nearby: Manila Bay is a 5-minute drive; Rizal Park is about 3 km; the Cultural Center of the Philippines complex is close by.
Century Park Hotel: the mid-range, central pick
Century Park Hotel New Deluxe Room
Century Park Hotel is a 4-star hotel that has been a Manila mainstay for over four decades. It sits at 599 P. Ocampo (Pablo Ocampo, formerly Vito Cruz) Street in Malate, on the edge of Pasay, putting it within easy reach of Manila Bay (about 1.3 km), Rizal Memorial Sports Complex (a 2-minute walk), and Manila Zoo. It has five dining venues, three outdoor pools, and a garden setting. It's about a 20–25 minute drive from NAIA.
What Travellers Say: This is a reliable value option rather than a luxury splurge, and Filipino reviewers on Klook see it that way. One called it "one of the most value for money hotels in Manila," citing the convenient location, well-maintained amenities, and wonderful staff. Another praised the cozy beds, spacious clean rooms, and good water pressure. A few guests note the building shows its age and Wi-Fi can be weak, so it's best for travellers who prioritise location and comfort over modern polish.
Address: 599 P. Ocampo Street, Malate, City of Manila, 1004
Check-in: 2 PM
Check-out: 12 PM
What’s Nearby: Rizal Memorial Sports Complex is a 2-minute walk; Manila Zoo is about 8 minutes on foot; Star City grounds are roughly 10 minutes away.
Pasay Centrale Hotel: the budget pick close to the airport
Pasay Centrale Hotel Exterior
If you're watching your budget and mainly need a clean place to sleep near NAIA, Pasay Centrale Hotel is worth a look. It sits at 2450 M. dela Cruz Street in Pasay City, about a 4 km, 8-minute drive from the airport, and within a 5-minute drive of SM Mall of Asia. It has around 200 air-conditioned rooms with LCD TVs, free Wi-Fi, an on-site café, and a rooftop bar that guests tend to like. It's an unrated budget property, so set expectations accordingly: this is a no-frills layover and short-stay option, not a resort.
What Travellers Say: Travellers who booked on Klook love the great value for money, with many highlighting the clean rooms, fast Wi-Fi, and cool air conditioning after a day of exploring. For an extra bonus, the rooftop views are a favourite place to unwind and take in the city skyline. Some reviews note that the hotel is located along a steep road, which can make ride-hailing pickups and drop-offs a little less convenient.
Address: 2450 M. dela Cruz Street, Pasay City, Metro Manila 1300
Check-in: 2 PM
Check-out: 12 PM
What’s Nearby: SM Mall of Asia is about a 5-minute drive; Manila Pasay Road Station is roughly a 10-minute walk; Manila Bay is around 4.5 km.
Staying near Pasay: Las Piñas and Makati options
If your plans pull you a bit further out, or you just want more choice, two solid hotels sit near Pasay in neighbouring cities. They're not in Pasay or on Manila Bay, but they're close enough to be worth knowing.
The Excelsior Hotel (Las Piñas)
The Excelsior Hotel One Bedroom Suite
The Excelsior Hotel is a modern 4-star property in Las Piñas, south of Pasay along Alabang–Zapote Road. It's an 18-storey building with 186 rooms and suites, three restaurants (including the rooftop-level Mignon for fine dining), a pool, a gym, and four function rooms, which makes it a practical base for business travellers, events, and anyone exploring the southern Metro Manila area. It's roughly a 25–35 minute drive from NAIA depending on traffic.
This one suits travellers whose itinerary leans toward Alabang, the south business districts, or who simply want newer rooms at a gentler price than the bay-side resorts. It's further from the Manila Bay sights, so factor in extra travel time if you're planning to spend most of your trip around Roxas Boulevard or Entertainment City.
Address: 1345 Alabang–Zapote Road, Almanza Uno, Las Piñas, 1750 Metro Manila
Check-in: 2 PM
Check-out: 12 PM
What’s Nearby: SM Southmall is a short drive; the Alabang business district is within easy reach.
Crown Regency Hotel Makati
Crown Regency Hotel Makati Deluxe Room
Crown Regency Hotel Makati is a 3-star hotel at 1026 A. Arnaiz Avenue in Makati, and its biggest draw is location: it's a short walk from the Ayala malls (Greenbelt, Glorietta, and The Landmark) and close to the Makati business district. It's under 10 km from NAIA, so it's reachable from the airport in good traffic. Rooms are simple but clean, with free Wi-Fi, free parking, a restaurant, and a rooftop bar.
What Travellers Say: Filipino and international guests rate the location highly (around 8.5 for couples), calling it a convenient, good-value base for shopping and short work trips. A few reviewers note dated TVs, minimal in-room amenities, and patchy Wi-Fi away from the room door, so it's best for travellers who want a walkable Makati location over resort facilities.
If your Manila trip mixes business in Makati with a bit of bay-side sightseeing, it's a sensible middle-ground pick.
Address: 1026 A. Arnaiz Avenue, Makati, 1200 Metro Manila
Check-in: 2 PM
Check-out: 12 PM
What’s Nearby: Greenbelt and Glorietta malls are a 2–4 minute walk; SM Mall of Asia is about 3 miles; Newport World Resorts is roughly 2 miles.
Winford Resort & Casino Manila: a casino stay near Chinatown
Winford Resort Casino Manila Pool
Winford Resort & Casino Manila is a 4-star casino hotel in the San Lazaro Tourism Business Park in Santa Cruz, City of Manila, about 12–13 km north of NAIA (roughly a 30–45 minute drive, traffic depending). So if Manila Bay sunsets are your goal, this isn't the one; if you want a casino stay close to Binondo (the world's oldest Chinatown) and Quiapo, it makes more sense.
Winford has 128 rooms, an outdoor and heated pool, a spa, and Copa de Manila for Filipino cuisine.
What Travellers Say: Filipino reviewers on Klook speak warmly of it. One guest described a "wonderful experience," praising the professional, genuinely hospitable staff and clean, spacious rooms. Another called it a great place to spend time with kids thanks to the mall right next door. It's a solid mid-range option if its central-north Manila location suits your plans.
Address: MJC Drive, San Lazaro Tourism Business Park, Santa Cruz, City of Manila, 1014
Check-in: 2 PM
Check-out: 12 PM
What’s Nearby: SM City San Lazaro is a 6-minute walk; University of Santo Tomas is about 1.3 km; Binondo (Chinatown) is roughly a 10-minute drive.
Things to do near your Pasay hotel
Once you're settled in, the Manila Bay area has plenty to fill a day or two. Here are bookable experiences close to most of these hotels.
The Entertainment City resorts double as attractions in themselves. At Okada Manila, you can bring the kids to the indoor play zone with an admission ticket at Okada Manila.
For families, the old-school fun of Star City is a short drive away, and marine-life fans can book the Ocean Park Aqua Adventure near Rizal Park. And if you're staying near SM Mall of Asia, the Four Seasons buffet and hotpot at SM Mall of Asia is an easy dinner stop.
Klook tip: Book activity tickets ahead of time, especially on weekends and holidays, when day passes and buffets fill up fast. Most of these spots are a 5–20 minute drive from the hotels in this guide, so it's easy to pair an afternoon attraction with an evening back at your bay-side base.
FAQs about Pasay hotels near Manila Bay
Are there budget hotels in or near Pasay?
Yes. Pasay Centrale Hotel is a budget option right in Pasay, about 4 km from NAIA, good for short layovers if you keep expectations realistic. Just outside Pasay, Crown Regency Hotel Makati offers mid-range rooms within walking distance of the Ayala malls, and The Excelsior Hotel in Las Piñas is a newer pick to the south. All three trade resort facilities for lower rates and convenient access to the airport or business districts.
Which Pasay hotel is closest to the airport?
Belmont Hotel Manila is the closest, at a 5-minute walk to NAIA Terminal 3 via the air-conditioned Runway Manila bridge. That makes it the most convenient option for layovers, early-morning flights, or late arrivals. Most other hotels in this guide are a 15–45 minute drive from the airport, depending on traffic and which terminal you use.
Are the Entertainment City hotels good for families?
Yes. Solaire Resort Entertainment City is particularly family-friendly, with a kids' club, large pools, and a wide breakfast buffet that Filipino guests rate highly. The wider Entertainment City cluster (including Okada Manila) also has indoor play zones and family attractions nearby. Just note these are integrated casino-resorts, so gaming floors are part of the layout.
What's the difference between Pasay, Manila Bay, and Entertainment City?
They overlap but aren't identical. Pasay is a city in Metro Manila that includes Newport City (beside NAIA Terminal 3). Entertainment City is a bayside casino-resort zone mostly in Parañaque. The Manila Bay area more broadly stretches up Roxas Boulevard into Malate and Ermita in the City of Manila. Some hotels marketed as "Manila Bay" or "Pasay" are actually in neighbouring districts, so always check the exact address.
Which hotel is best for Manila Bay sunset views?
For sunset, the Roxas Boulevard and Entertainment City corridors win. Admiral Hotel Manila – MGallery has a rooftop restaurant overlooking the bay, and Solaire's bay-view rooms and pool face the water. Both put you in prime position for the Manila Bay sunset the city is known for.
Is it better to book a casino-resort or a regular hotel in Pasay?
It depends on your trip. Casino-resorts like Solaire offer more facilities (multiple restaurants, pools, theatres, gaming) and work well for longer stays or families wanting everything on-site. Regular hotels like Belmont or Century Park are simpler and often better value if you're mainly using the hotel as a base to sleep and explore. Compare what you'll actually use before paying the resort premium.
