Waterfront Manila Hotel & Casino in the Philippines will have its soft opening in the first quarter of 2026, Acesite announced in a PH Stock Exchange filing.
Acesite (Philippines) Hotel Corp. announced plans to reopen the Waterfront Manila Hotel & Casino in three phases. The announcement was made in a filing with the Philippine Stock Exchange on Thursday.
The first phase, including the casino, will have a soft opening in the first quarter of 2026. This phase will focus on the lobby, some restaurants, and the casino itself. Acesite is 56% owned by Waterfront Philippines Inc.
The property has been under redevelopment since a major fire in 2018.
Phase two will add more guest amenities and facilities in late third quarter of 2026.
The final phase, in the first quarter of 2027, will finish the remaining hotel rooms and other amenities. This will mark the full reopening.
The company had given different reopening dates before.
Acesite said construction delays and the phased reopening are due to unexpected problems during redevelopment. These included technical issues, project changes, and problems getting materials and equipment.
Keeping the original building structure, which is over 50 years old, caused some of these issues. This was done to save money.
The site itself also presented challenges. The foundation needed extra support. Acesite said these reinforcements are important for the safety of guests and employees.
