Savoy Hotel Manila Wins Two Awards
Savoy Hotel Manila received two titles during the 2026 World Travel Awards ceremony.
The hotel won Asia’s Leading Airport Hotel 2026, putting it ahead of nominees from Singapore, Thailand, South Korea, China, India, and Malaysia.
It also kept its Philippines’ Leading Airport Hotel title.
Savoy has now won the Philippine award for six straight years, from 2021 through 2026. Its latest Asian win comes five years after it first took the regional title in 2021.
The hotel thanked guests, workers, partners, and voters after the results came out.
“Maraming, maraming salamat for believing in Savoy Hotel Manila and in the Filipino hospitality we are proud to share.”
The hotel said the awards also recognize the work of staff across its rooms, restaurants, front desk, and other hotel teams.
World Travel Awards Held Its Asia Gala in the Maldives

Travel and hotel groups from across the regions gathered at CROSSROADS Maldives for the ceremony.
The awards cover hotels, airlines, tourism boards, travel companies, destinations, and other parts of the tourism sector.
World Travel Awards began in 1993.
Its winners come from an online voting process. Travel workers and consumers can vote. A standard vote counts as one, while a vote from a verified travel industry professional counts as two.
Savoy competed against nine other hotels for the Asian airport hotel title.
The nominees included Crowne Plaza Changi Airport in Singapore, Grand Hyatt Incheon in South Korea, Hong Kong SkyCity Marriott Hotel, Sama-Sama Hotel KL International Airport, and Tune Hotel KLIA-KLIA2.

The Philippines Also Won Tourism Awards
Savoy Hotel Manila was not the only Philippine name recognized during the September 27 ceremony.
At the same World Travel Awards event, the Philippines received the titles Asia’s Leading Beach Destination 2026 and Asia’s Leading Tourist Board 2026.
Those awards cover the country’s tourism sector, while Savoy’s two titles focus on the hotel category.
The results add to a busy year for Philippine hotels. Earlier in September, the MICHELIN Guide also released its 2026 Key hotel list, which included nine properties across the Philippines.
Savoy’s award comes from a different program with a different selection system. World Travel Awards uses voting, while the MICHELIN Key program uses hotel evaluations by its inspectors.
