Location & Transportation
The Westin Manila is located around 10 kilometers from Ninoy Aquino International Airport, the main domestic and international gateway for travelers to Metro Manila.
- Airport Transfer - I recommend the GRAB ride-hailing app. When booking a ride from the airport, make sure that you select The Westin Manila as your destination. Fare ranges between PHP400 to PHP600 depending on the type of GrabCar (4-seater or 6-seater) and the time of booking. Travel time is around 40-60 minutes. Upon arrival, tell the security guards that you will be dropped off at The Westin Manila hotel.
- Private Transport Service - The most convenient way to travel between the airport and The Westin Manila is to book the hotel's transport service. Rates start at ₱2,750 for a sedan (Toyota Altis). Airport pick-up should be booked at least 24 hours in advance.
- Moving Around - I also recommend using the GRAB ride-hailing app when traveling around Metro Manila.

Hi there. When taking a car to the hotel, why do you recommend selecting "Sonata Private Residences" as the destination, instead of "Westin Manila", please?
ReplyDeleteThank you for the *excellent* guide!
Hi, when the hotel first open, The Westin Manila wasn't listed yet by GRAB as a destination. Upon checking now, The Westin Manila is already available in GRAB. I have likewise updated the article. Thanks for pointing this out.
