City of Dreams

The Gold Standard of Fun

If the other big resorts in Entertainment City are focused primarily on the high rollers, City of Dreams (COD) has a different trick up its sleeve. It is the family-friendly giant of the district. This is where you will find the world's first DreamWorks-inspired theme park, DreamPlay, sitting right alongside three world-class hotels: Nuwa, Nobu, and Hyatt Regency.

The resort is instantly recognizable by its "Fortune Egg," a massive golden structure that houses two of the city's hottest nightclubs. Inside, the vibe is upbeat and energetic. It feels like a place where things are always happening, whether it is a celebrity chef cooking in the kitchen of Nobu or a high-stakes tournament on the main gaming floor.

Nobu and Beyond

One of the biggest draws of COD is the presence of Nobu. It isn't just a restaurant; it is a lifestyle. The hotel and its eponymous dining room represent the height of Japanese fusion luxury. It is a must-visit for anyone who appreciates the finer details of minimalism and exceptional flavor. But the culinary journey doesn't stop there. The resort's food strip, "The Shops at the Boulevard," is packed with international options that cater to every possible craving.

"There is a vibrancy to City of Dreams that is hard to ignore. It is a place that manages to be many things at once: a playground for children, a sanctuary for luxury travelers, and a pulse-pounding hub for nightlife seekers."

It is also home to Pangaea and Chaos, two of the most legendary names in the Manila clubbing scene. Housed within that iconic golden egg, they offer an experience that is as theatrical as it is high-energy. If you want to see how the city’s elite party, this is your destination.
