The WTA, founded in 1993, is the foremost symbol of excellence in global travel, recognizing destinations that exemplify outstanding hospitality and tourism.  The 684-room hotel, strategically located 350 meters across from Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) Terminal 3 (offering unparalleled convenience for travelers), plus seamless access to Terminals 1 and 2 via the Skyway, is now entering its ninth year of delivering exemplary Filipino hospitality and award-winning service. Not bad for a hotel which opened its doors just eight years ago, on June 28, 2018.
