The 4-star Savoy Hotel Manila, the Philippines’ Leading Airport Hotel for four consecutive years (2021 to 2024), located just 350 meters from NAIA Terminal 3 (plus seamless access to NAIA Terminals 1 and 2 via the Skyway), stands as the premier choice for travelers seeking both comfort and convenience, enhanced by the warm, welcoming spirit of Filipino hospitality.

Leisure travelers, business professionals, millennials, young families, and cherished Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs) and Balikbayans can all share moments at this Newport City hotel—relaxing in its 684 cozy and well-appointed rooms, enjoying the pool, working in the Connect Lounge (a versatile space for meetings, conferences, and social gatherings), staying active at the gym, relieving stress at the spa and sauna room, or savoring delicious bites at Savoy Cafe, Zabana, and the Poolside Bar.

Beyond traditional hospitality, Savoy Hotel Manila rises above conventional business practices to contribute meaningfully to environmental solutions and the Philippines’ ongoing efforts against food scarcity. A proud advocate of sustainable tourism, the hotel is an official signatory of the Glasgow Declaration on Climate Action in Tourism, launched on November 4, 2021. The declaration’s goals include cutting greenhouse gas emissions by half by 2030, achieving Net Zero by 2050 or earlier, and annually reporting progress on climate action plans.

In line with these goals, the hotel has introduced the innovative WeSave Sustainability Program, which aims to reduce its operational impact, such as greenhouse gas emissions, measure its carbon footprint, reach carbon neutrality by 2030, foster a culture of recycling, and integrate eco-friendly practices into daily operations. The program also answers to the sustainability campaign of Megaworld Corporation,

MEGreen, in contributing to greener townships. General Manager Ferdinand “Den” Navarro, an OFW for 17 years and a seasoned hotelier, explains, “Our unwavering commitment to being the Philippines’ Leading Airport Hotel ensures that every guest receives exceptional service and comprehensive amenities while actively participating in our sustainability efforts.”

Sustainability champion Mr. Karlo Evangelista, the hotel’s Compliance Manager, also added “It’s easy to think of what projects to implement and spend money on, but if people don’t embrace these initiatives then they won’t be sustainable. So it’s about culture, not just the program.”

The hotel’s commitment to sustainability extends to its Sampaguita Initiative, which aims to revitalize the sampaguita industry by incorporating the Philippines’ national flower into its branding and supporting communities in San Pedro, Laguna, once known as the “Sampaguita Capital of the Philippines.” In fact, Megaworld maintains a 9-hectare, solar-powered Central Nursery in Tanza, Cavite, opened in 2016, that propagates sampaguita as well provides all of the tree seedlings, plants and flowers for their Luzon townships.

Some of their signature dishes, such as the Sampaguita Boursin, the Salmon Tartlets, the Sampaguita Rubbed Pork Barbeque, Sampaguita Polvoron and Mango Sampaguita Cheesecake as well as the SanMaRRa Tea, are infused and enhanced with sampaguita, adding a fresh flavor to a meal or drink. 

Through everyday eco-friendly practices, recyclable materials are given new life through third-party processing, with proceeds directed to brighten classrooms in Barangay Villamor, supporting the local community.

A testament to the hotel’s dedication to sustainability is its Vertical and Rooftop Gardens, where guests enjoy fresh, locally grown produce, reducing the hotel’s dependence on external food sources. To further reduce waste, the hotel repurposed over 500 containers from its Housekeeping Department and used plant boxes made from scrap materials, minimizing the carbon footprint between garden and plate.

The dedicated staff, the backbone of the hotel’s sustainability efforts, embody this commitment by making eco-friendly practices a natural part of their daily routines both at work and at home. A rigorous food waste management system measures waste and identifies spoilage patterns by analyzing every aspect of the food handling process. Future menus align servings with actual consumption, reducing waste and optimizing efficiency for both Guests and the environment.

In November 2022, the WeSave Sustainability Program received a “Badge of Honor” from the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), in collaboration with the Department of Tourism (DOT) and the Philippine Center for Environmental Protection and Sustainable Development Inc. Additionally, the program’s dedication to reducing food waste earned it the “Guardians of the Grub Badge” from the UK-based Waste and Resources Action Programme (WRAP), a testament to the hotel’s commitment to sustainability.

Most recently, Savoy Hotel Manila was named one of the top six finalists in the Business Marketing category of the Green Destinations Story Awards 2024 at the ITB Berlin tourism conference. Their Good Travel Story, “WeSave – Empowering Sustainability, Transforming Lives in Pasay City,” has also been nominated for the 2024 “People’s Choice Award,” allowing the public to vote for their favorite destination and Good Practice Story from the 2023 Green Destinations Top 100 competition.
