Set in Pasay City, The Henry Hotel Manila is a charming heritage retreat offering nostalgic décor, leafy gardens and a calm escape from the capital’s bustle.
Location: This hidden sanctuary sits just minutes from Manila’s most iconic landmarks, museums and shopping hubs. From the historic walls of Intramuros to the sleek expanse of the Mall of Asia, guests can explore the contrasts that define the Philippines' capital. This charming property captures the soul of old Manila with its thoughtful design and warm, personal service. A rare find that proves style and substance can coexist beautifully, The Henry Hotel Manila is where nostalgia meets modern comfort.
Rooms: Each of the 34 rooms is individually styled, showcasing a thoughtful mix of period furnishings, local art and modern amenities. Whether it’s a cosy Classic Room or the spacious Owner’s Suite, every space feels personal and welcoming. Expect handcrafted wooden furniture, French press coffee by Henry & Sons, locally made Bath Origins amenities and vintage patios overlooking the gardens. Suites include generous living areas, antique bathtubs and private outdoor spaces that capture the quiet beauty of the property.
Amenities: The hotel’s gardens and shaded courtyards are its heart, offering a tranquil setting for a morning coffee or an afternoon swim in the leafy pool area. Guests can unwind in the Library, enjoy Filipino craftsmanship at The Honest Henry shop or dine at Apartment 1B, the hotel’s signature restaurant known for its comforting Western and Filipino dishes. Spaces such as the I.P. Santos Lawn are available for private events, weddings and celebrations, all surrounded by the hotel’s timeless character.
Activities: While The Henry offers a retreat from the city’s buzz, it also makes exploring Manila effortless. Guests can visit the historic Intramuros district, stroll along the bay at sunset or dive into the capital’s thriving food and arts scene. The hotel team can arrange cultural tours, museum visits and local shopping excursions, ensuring a balanced stay of relaxation and discovery. Art lovers will find galleries such as Artelano 11 and Avellana Art nearby, while culture seekers can discover treasures at the National Museum and Casa Manila before retreating to the hotel’s peaceful compound.
Sustainability: The Henry Hotel embraces an ethos of heritage preservation and responsible hospitality. By restoring existing structures rather than building anew, the hotel reduces environmental impact while safeguarding local architectural identity. It supports Filipino artisans through partnerships with design studios, galleries, and ethical shops such as Gifts & Graces, and prioritises locally sourced products and ingredients. Together, these efforts create a meaningful model for sustainable urban renewal in Manila.
