2/2/2015
HONG KONG--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Hyatt Hotels & Resorts announced today the official opening of Hyatt City of
Dreams Manila.
Located three kilometres from Ninoy Aquino International Airport, Hyatt City of Dreams Manila is a five-minute
drive from SM Mall of Asia and the SMX Convention Center, and a ten-minute drive from the World Trade Center
and Philippine International Convention Center, making it an ideal base for both leisure and business travelers.
“We are delighted to bring this brand to the Asia Pacific region and be part of City of Dreams Manila. This hotel will
be featuring an array of entertainment and attractions,” said David Udell, group president, Asia Pacific, Hyatt. “The
hotel will welcome guests from all over the world who are looking for a world-class experience with Hyatt’s
authentic services in this business and leisure destination.”
Spread over two gleaming towers, Hyatt City of Dreams Manila was created by award-winning architects Asya

windows where guests can recharge and kick back when they are not busy exploring the city.
Ranging in size from 36 to 85 square metres (377 to 915 square feet), the contemporary guestrooms are designed
with a focus on efficiency and simplicity. In the living space, guests will find a fully functioning work space with an
ergonomic desk chair, a 47 inch LED HDTV with an interactive interface, an iPod docking station, and a safe large
enough to accommodate a laptop – all of which augment the guest experience at the hotel.
Meanwhile, guests staying in any of the 45 Club rooms within Hyatt City of Dreams Manila are welcome to visit the
Club Lounge on Level 7 of Tower II. In this tranquil, comfortable space, Club guests can enjoy a host of exclusive,
complimentary services including personalized, seated check-in and check-out, breakfast, drinks and light snacks
throughout the day, and canapés and pre-dinner cocktails.
“The whole Hyatt City of Dreams Manila team is excited to open our doors to guests,” said General Manager
Stephen Radcliffe. “We are looking forward to introducing this witty, charming and inviting brand to Southeast. With
our comfortable rooms, bustling dining venues, great facilities and access to all that is on offer at City of Dreams
Manila—not to mention the capital itself—we are confident our guests are going to have a delightful stay with us.”

Hyatt City of Dreams Manila features two dining venues where guests can enjoy fresh, authentic local and
international cuisine.
Past a circular reception beneath a striking spiral chandelier, The Café is the main dining space at Hyatt City of
Dreams Manila and offers a range of seating options, from cozy circular booths to private and semi-private rooms
to standalone tables in the heart of all the action. Open 24 hours, The Café is an interactive show-kitchen
restaurant, where live culinary theater is performed by experienced chefs at vibrant cooking and buffet stations,
with hot dishes prepared à la minute to ensure freshness and optimum flavor. Each of the counters—Italian, Grill
and Griddle, Asian, Deli, Comfort Food & Favorites, and Pastry—showcase a different culinary production.
For guests looking for a drink and light snack, the Lounge is a comfortable, stylish spot to meet friends and
colleagues, or simply relax and unwind throughout the day. Whether settled into a plush chair or people-watching
at the bar, guests can enjoy well-crafted cocktails, premium wine, as well as an international snack and tapas menu
in the evening. For those looking to mix business with pleasure, a business center with office services is also
available.
Activities
When not enjoying their room, there is plenty for guests to explore at Hyatt City of Dreams Manila. Guests can take
a dip in the outdoor lap pool or work out at the Fitness Center, equipped with the latest Life Fitness treadmills,
bikes, steppers and weights. Alternatively, they can spruce up for an important meeting or special occasion in the
Salon in the capable hands of some of the best hair stylists, make-up artists and nail technicians in the capital.
City of Dreams Manila
The hotel is ideally located within City of Dreams Manila, the pinnacle of entertainment in the Philippines. The focal
point at City of Dreams Manila is the Fortune Egg—a golden dome-like structure, accented by dramatic lighting and
anticipated to become a gleaming landmark of the Manila Bay area. Within the dome will be two nightclubs by
preeminent nightclub operator Michael Van Cleef Ault who has created dozens of clubs in the hottest cities
worldwide, including New York, Los Angeles, Miami, Aspen, Sao Paulo, Monte Carlo and London.
For families, DreamPlay is the world’s first family entertainment center from Hollywood studio DreamWorks
Animation, introducing education-based, interactive entertainment inspired by the mantra of learning through play.
Spread over 2,400 square metres (25,834 square feet), DreamPlay is an exciting, integrated blend of live and digital
play spaces, featuring DreamWorks’ beloved characters and includes a 165-seater café; a store; and three themed
party rooms.
In addition, City of Dreams Manila houses a ballroom with capacity to seat 500 guests, a multi-level car park, a live
performance central lounge, a variety of upscale retailers, and large selections of bars and dining venues ranging

dinners, product launches and corporate events. Supported by a generously sized pre-function area for breakouts
and pre-dinner cocktails, plus a banqueting kitchen equipped for Filipino, Chinese and Western menus, the
ballroom can cater up to 500 seated guests.
An events room with the capacity to seat 24 guests is also available for smaller gatherings and company meetings.
