City Of Dreams Manila

City of Dreams Manila
City of Dreams Manila is an ‘integrated resort’ that includes three 5 star hotels plus a wide range of retail and restaurants and other leisure and gaming availability all under one roof.

The second casino and resort to rise in the Entertainment City complex, City of Dreams saw its doors open with a soft opening on December 14, 2014, and a grand opening on February 2, 2015. It celebrated its inauguration with a bang through the Concert of Dreams, which featured local talents like Gary Valenciano and Zsa Zsa Padilla, as well as international stars like Ne-Yo and Kelly Rowland.

City of Dreams is a sister resort to City of Dreams in Macau, but it has its own unique Manila flair that makes it stand out. The resort has six hotel towers with 938 rooms, including Nobu Hotel, Nuwa (formerly known as Crown Towers), and a Hyatt Regency Hotel.

City of Dreams Manila is a complex containing three hotels, a casino, and numerous restaurants. In our travels, we stayed at all three hotels. The Hyatt was the oldest of the three, the least expensive, and at times, the most crowded.

When we stayed at the Hyatt, we had an unattractive city view with a flooded parking lot below our window. On the plus side, there was a nice pool area, great shower, good air conditioning, comfortable double beds, lots of towels in the bathroom, and a night light. Put your room card in the slot by the door to turn on the lights.

Toiletries were in an ugly little box on the counter. They do offer a free shuttle to Mall of Asia that runs from 11:00 am until 2:00 am. There was a small fruit platter with an apple, orange, and banana The lobby was extremely smoky and disorganized. The casino, as expected, is busy Friday and Saturday nights.

Note – of all three hotels at the City of Dreams Manila the Hyatt had the lowest airport transportation $50 US versus $80 US from Nobu. Ask for a garden view.
