City of Dreams Manila
Manila's most luxurious integrated resort on the Entertainment City strip.
Entertainment City, Parañaque, Metro Manila, Philippines
Operated by: Melco Resorts & Entertainment (Philippines) Corp.
City of Dreams Manila opened on December 14, 2014, making it one of the founding properties in Entertainment City — the Philippine government's designated integrated resort zone on the Manila Bay reclamation area, developed as a direct response to Singapore's IR success and intended to capture regional VIP gaming revenue.
The resort brings Melco's signature blend of luxury hospitality and entertainment to the Philippine market, operating under a gaming licence issued by PAGCOR (Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation). The casino floor spans approximately 20,000 square metres, focusing on premium mass baccarat and premium slots catering to local high-net-worth and Korean VIP visitors.
Three distinct hotel brands operate within City of Dreams Manila: Nüwa Manila (ultra-luxury), Hyatt Regency Manila (upper upscale), and the gaming-focused Crown Towers Manila — together totalling approximately 1,000 rooms. The resort's DreamPlay — a joint venture with DreamWorks Animation — is Southeast Asia's first interactive family entertainment facility themed around DreamWorks characters including Shrek and How to Train Your Dragon.
The resort also hosts Nobu Manila, the award-winning Japanese-Peruvian fusion restaurant by chef Nobu Matsuhisa, and a series of nightlife venues.
