Feel The Thrilla At Ibis Styles Manila: Celebrate 50 Years Of The Thrilla In Manila With Knockout Deals & Winning Treats

Celebrating Half a Century of Iconic Moments with Offers That Pack a Punch

MANILA, SEPTEMBER 2025 - Half a century since the Big Dome roared with the unforgettable Thrilla in Manila, ibis Styles Manila Araneta City brings the fight’s spirit back to life with a month-long celebration of knockout flavors, legendary stays, and playful challenges. With its design concept built as a vibrant ode to the iconic Araneta Coliseum, where history was made when Ali and Frazier stepped into the ring, the hotel is the perfect stage to relive the energy of the bout that defined an era. From the walls to the walkways, the rooms to the creative corners of ibis Styles Manila, the Big Dome’s legacy echoes through bold designs, vibrant storytelling, and imaginative experiences that celebrate champions of the past and present.

Every corner of ibis Styles Manila Araneta City tells the Big Dome’s story, making it more than just a place to stay, it is a living tribute to one of the world’s most legendary arenas. And this October, that tribute packs an extra punch with offerings that let today’s guests experience the same thrill that once electrified the Coliseum.

Step into the spotlight with Finding Ali: Capture The Champ At Styles, a social media contest where guests can track down Muhammad Ali displays across the hotel and channel their inner champ for the camera. A quick jab at your phone, a post on Facebook or Instagram with #FindingAliAtibisStylesManila, and you could score an overnight stay in a Standard Room with breakfast for two at strEATs. But stay on your toes, entries close October 25, 2025.

When the night winds down, it is time to Stay Thrilled in the City, the perfect way to rest like a legend after a day of excitement. Starting at just PHP 3,599 nett per night, this exclusive staycation package delivers a knockout mix of comfort and style. Stays booked from October 1 to November 9, 2025 (valid until November 10) include overnight accommodation, hearty breakfast buffets at strEATs, and a boxing-themed welcome gift that keeps the spirit of the fight alive right in your room. Families can join the fun too, with Family Room bookings that include breakfast for up to two kids. Whether unwinding, bonding with loved ones, or soaking in the hotel’s creative tribute to the Big Dome, Stay Thrilled in the City is more than just a stay, it is your very own ringside retreat where history and hospitality meet in every corner.

For group champs hungry for a taste of victory, the Ali vs. Frazier’s Crew Combo at The Edge Skyview Bar delivers big flavors for only PHP 1,975 nett, good for 5 to 6 guests.
