Marriott International and Ayala Land Hospitality (ALH) have signed an agreement to bring the Moxy Hotels brand to the Philippines, with the 260-room Moxy Circuit Makati set to rise in the 21-hectare Circuit Makati development.
The hotel is part of ALH’s plan to expand its footprint in the country, aiming to double its room count to 8,000 by 2030. Located on the site of the former Sta. Ana racetrack, Moxy Circuit Makati will cater to experience-seeking travelers and offer access to lifestyle and entertainment venues, green spaces, and retail outlets.
The agreement was signed by ALH president and CEO George Aquino, Ayala Land senior vice president Mariana Zobel de Ayala, Marriott International chief development officer for APEC Shawn Hill, and director of Hotel Development for the Philippines Kevin Iranzo.
Marriott currently operates 12 properties across six brands in the Philippines, with additional developments planned in both established and emerging destinations.
The Moxy brand is known for its design-forward and social approach to hospitality. Guest check-in will take place at Bar Moxy, with communal spaces, a fitness center, and event venues included in the hotel’s features. The property is also expected to highlight Filipino creativity, with interiors featuring artwork by local comic book artists.
The collaboration mirrors ALH’s focus on blending local culture with global hospitality standards, as the company continues to grow its homegrown Seda Hotels and eco-friendly El Nido Resorts brands.
