Manila's hottest luxury spots just got official: Solaire takes the crown at Tatler Best 2026

Skybar at Solaire Resort North has been reintroduced in the list of Tatler 20 Best Bar in the Philippines during the prestigious Tatler Best Awards 2026.

If you've ever sipped a cocktail 38 floors above Quezon City with the entire Manila skyline stretched out before you, you already know what the judges at Tatler know: Solaire does luxury differently.

This week, both Solaire Resort North and Solaire Resort Entertainment City walked away from the Tatler Best Awards 2026 with major recognition — and honestly, we're not surprised.

Skybar is back on the list (and better than ever)

For the second year running, Skybar at Solaire Resort North has been named one of the Tatler 20 Best Bars in the Philippines. Perched on the 38th floor, this rooftop bar has become the spot for Manila's after-dark crowd — think handcrafted cocktails from the new Celestial Cocktail menu, live entertainment, and a revolving door of world-class guest mixologists.

Ladies' Night on Wednesdays? Unlimited drinks. Sunday Afternoon Free Flow? Yes, that's a thing too. The beverage program is helmed by award-winning Head Mixologist Melody Lim-Protacio, so you know every glass is dialed in.

Solaire Entertainment City is one of the best hotels in the country

Down in Parañaque, Solaire Resort Entertainment City has been recognized as one of the Best 10 Hotels in the Philippines — a distinction that feels well-earned. Between 800 luxurious rooms, 19 restaurants and bars, the Lyric Theatre, a 72-meter outdoor pool, pickleball, padel, golf, and a spa, this place is basically a self-contained world.

SVP for Resort Operations David Batchelor put it well: "At Solaire, we are committed to delivering thoughtful, personalized service and creating memorable moments that reflect the warmth of Filipino hospitality."

Why this matters

The Tatler Best Guide isn't just a popularity contest — selections go through a rigorous evaluation by editors, industry professionals, and seasoned travelers. Getting on this list, especially two properties in the same year, says something real about where Philippine hospitality is heading.

If Solaire isn't on your list for your next staycation or night out, consider this your sign.
