Mandarin Oriental Manila will shut down in September after 38 years of operation, as its existing facilities and infrastructure are "no longer in keeping with the group’s well-recognized, luxury hospitality offering," according to Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group, in a press statement.

In its place, a new 275-room Mandarin Oriental Manila is scheduled to open in 2020. MOHG has signed a long-term contract to brand and manage this hotel, the exact location of which is yet to be announced.
