History
Shangri-La The Fort, Manila is a mixed-use skyscraper complex that opened on March 1, 2016, as one of three Shangri-La hotels in Metro Manila. Developed in Bonifacio Global City on the site of a former military base, it stands at 250 meters tall and includes a luxury hotel, residences, retail, and event spaces. The LEED Gold-certified property represents sustainable luxury design in a vibrant urban district.
The setting
Shangri-La The Fort, Manila rises at 30th Street corner 5th Avenue in Bonifacio Global City — the master-planned district that transformed Fort Bonifacio, a U.S. military base dating to 1902 and privatized in 1994, into Metro Manila's premier lifestyle and business quarter. Opening on March 1, 2016, the hotel forms part of a mixed-use tower integrating luxury residences and retail amid BGC's walkable grid of glass towers and curated dining. The Mind Museum is four minutes on foot, and Bonifacio High Street's upscale promenade is immediately nearby. Positioned four kilometres from Makati's financial core, BGC's art-forward identity draws design-conscious travelers.
