Unwind And Feel Like Royalty In This Five-Star Haven Inside The Metro

The buildings are literally gilded like gold bars. How more luxurious can you get than that?

Short of three months after Nüwa was launched on January 16, the newly rebranded towers of City of Dreams have already been presented the five-star award by the 2018 Forbes Travel Guide Awards. Considered the “Oscars” of the hotel industry, the Forbes Travel Guide Awards recognized Nüwa for its outstanding offerings and services, considering it on par with some of the world’s greatest hotels and resorts.

Out of all the participating resorts and hotels in 50 countries around the globe, only 27 brands were given the five-star rating at the 2018 Forbes Travel Guide Awards. Nüwa Manila represents not only City of Dreams and its operator Melco Resorts & Entertainment, but brings pride and honor to the whole Philippine hospitality industry for putting the Filipino brand on the world stage.

“The wonderful achievement awarded to Melco’s properties by Forbes is a testament to our impeccable services and distinguished products on offer in both Macau and the Philippines. It is an honor to attain 5-Star distinctions across all three of our properties in Macau and to have Melco contribute meaningfully and significantly in helping Macau retain its status as the world destination with the highest number of Forbes 5-Star awards across categories. We are extremely proud of our colleagues who are the heart and soul of Melco’s culture of service,” said Lawrence Ho, Melco Resorts & Entertainment Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.

Nüwa is one of the three luxury hotels in City of Dreams Manila, and houses 254 tastefully designed and meticulously created rooms, suites, and villas. Expect the full royalty experience at Nüwa Manila, which offers a stunning open-air pool, a four-star spa experience at the Nüwa Spa, and a personalized and dedicated butler service.

All of Nüwa’s numerous products and services have fared excellently on the more than 900 objective standards meticulously reviewed and inspected by the Forbes Travel Guide, granting them the five-star award. The evaluation was conducted unannounced and anonymously by the Forbes Travel Guide critics, which assures that the unparalleled service and offerings at Nüwa stay consistent regardless of time, day, or patron.

Nüwa’s rebranding was inspired from the eponymous heroine in Chinese mythology of the same name and embodies the opulent and luxurious standards that City of Dreams holds itself to.
