City of Dreams Manila introduces Nobu Hotel to Asia
Inspired by the world-renowned Japanese culinary genius Chef Nobu Matsuhisa and championed by Academy award-winning actor Robert De Niro and Hollywood producer Meir Teper, the 321-room trendsetting boutique Nobu Hotel will deliver a celebrity-inspired and ‘fun-luxury’ experience, fused with the utmost quality to visitors to City of Dreams Manila, Melco Crown Entertainment’s new integrated casino resort currently under development.
Offering a fusion of laid-back luxury, high-energy nightlife and exclusive guest room retreats and spa services, Nobu Hotel at City of Dreams Manila will be the ultimate playground for a Philippines, Asian and international client base. The development will form part of a dynamic array of entertainment, luxury lifestyle and accommodation offerings to be featured at the integrated resort.
The hotel will feature a Nobu Restaurant including an outdoor cabana-styled dining terrace situated on a platform deck with views of Manila Bay. Customers can enjoy Chef Nobu’s uniquely inspired style of fusion artistry, including signature dishes, spectacular sushi and cooked dishes including black cod with miso and lobster with wasabi pepper sauce. The Nobu Hotel will offer, exclusively to its guests, a special in-room menu carefully crafted by Chef Nobu. In addition, guests will enjoy the Nobu Tea Lounge in the lobby, and the Nobu Spa and the Fitness Room situated on the raised platform deck.
