City of Dreams Manila – a finalist in FTG’s inaugural Responsible Hospitality Award
For its outstanding level of commitment to sustainable practices at the luxury level, City of Dreams Manila emerged as one of the three finalists among hundreds of global entries for the Forbes Travel Guide’s (“FTG”) inaugural 2023 Responsible Hospitality Award. Forbes Travel Guide is the only global rating system for luxury hotels, restaurants, spas, and cruises, and the world-renowned authority in genuine Five-Star service. To be considered for this inaugural award, City of Dreams Manila demonstrated a commitment to responsible tourism with innovative sustainability initiatives. It proved to be a leader in both heart-of-house and guest-facing practices, such as housekeeping policies, recycling programs, eliminating single-use items and contributions to community-based conservation efforts. “We thank Forbes Travel Guide for recognizing our eco-friendly practices at a luxury level and seamlessly integrating these into our guests’ experience. Through the vision of our parent company, Melco Resorts & Entertainment, led by our Chairman and CEO Lawrence Ho, we remain committed on delivering Sustainable Luxury,” City of Dreams Manila Property President Geoff Andres shared. The announcement was made at the fourth annual Best of the Year awards during the FTG Summit in Las Vegas in early March. For City of Dreams, the recognition comes a month after FTG awarded the integrated resort’s three hotels for the sixth time with: Five-Star (Nüwa Manila and Nüwa Spa) and Four-Star (Hyatt Regency Manila and Nobu Hotel Manila). Alongside the yearly list of Five-Star, Four-Star and Recommended properties, FTG unveiled several special awards to celebrate the exemplary properties and staff members who stand out in their service of guests and co-workers. Properties in Forbes Travel Guide’s worldwide collection were asked to submit nominations for the industry awards. An executive panel then chose the winners among hundreds of entries and named City of Dreams Manila one of three finalists for the Responsible Hospitality accolade. In last year’s Best of the Year Awards, City of Dreams was named winner of Work Here, Work Happy Award. “Serving the world’s most elite hotels, restaurants, and spas in 81 countries, Forbes Travel Guide understands that sustainability and exceptional guest experiences must go hand in hand,” wrote Hermann Elger, CEO of Forbes Travel Guide, on the guide’s website.

In 2022, the property significantly reduced the use of single-use plastics including water bottles, disposable amenity bottles, and other plastic consumables with the installation onsite of a US$370,000 NORDAQ water filtration plant and a bottling system, and using reusable, refillable pump bottles and other eco-friendly amenities in rooms.

Laundry wastewater is also being reused for cooling towers, the gardens, and clean latrines. It has considerably reduced food waste at the employee dining room and kitchens. through the Winnow AI technology.

City of Dreams Manila uses 100% cage-free eggs – known to be more food safe and more humane to animals -- the first among the integrated resorts in the country to fully adopt the initiative. Digitizing the supply chain was also prioritized with the implementation of a new P2P (purchase to pay) procurement system, allowing the property to achieve supply chain sustainability targets, such as going paperless in receiving and warehouse processes, among others. A Sustainability Committee composed of colleagues from different departments works together to initiate and oversee sustainability projects.

"Projects of such a broad scope and high ambition are not that numerous in the world today. It is a great honour for me to be part of it," said Ducasse of the collaboration. "When I first met with Lawrence Ho, I instantly felt the chemistry. Our dialogue on the two restaurant identities I will bring to Morpheus was very rich." Mr. Lawrence Ho, chairman and CEO of Melco Resorts & Entertainment, the company which owns and operates City of Dreams, said: "Today, we're celebrating a new partnership. It is our pleasure and, truly, a real honour to be able to say that Morpheus, the new flagship tower of our City of Dreams resort, will soon be anchored by not just one but two new restaurants by none other than one of the greatest living chefs of our time: Alain Ducasse." 'We shared the same passion to create, that itch to bring out-of-this-world experiences into our world. To make dining more innovative. Better. Cooler. At the heart of that magnificent exoskeleton, we are creating an Asia-first hotel with an entire floor dedicated to two Ducasse restaurants. And just like the god after which Morpheus was named, this place will be the thing of dreams. It'll become an icon of the new Macao."
