The Crowne Plaza Manila Galleria in Manila, Philippines, will be full to bursting between February 7 and February 16 when the Asian Poker Tour (APT) calls it home for its first festival of 2025. The APT Manila Classic 2025 schedule comprises 100 scheduled tournaments across several formats and disciplines and boasts ₱143 million ($2.4 million) in combined guaranteed prize pools.

City of Dreams, Manila, hosted the 2024 edition of this festival and did so in record-breaking style. By the time the final champion was crowned, APT Manila Classic 2024 had written itself into the history books by becoming thelargest and richest Philippines-based poker series in tour history.

Last year's Main Event commanded an ₱85,000 buy-in, which 1,081 entrants paid. Daniel Lee emerged victoriously after a heads-up deal with South African Edgar Antezana; he walked away with ₱15,060,000 ($258,645) and the coveted APT Main Event trophy, while Antezana banked ₱13,850,000 ($237,864).

The 2025 edition of the APT Manila Classic Main Event has a more affordable ₱60,000 buy-in (approx. $1,000) and comes with a ₱60 million ($1 million) guarantee in its prize pool.

Other eagerly anticipated events include the APT High Roller and the APT Super High Roller. Whoever comes out on top in the Main Event or those two other high-stakes tournaments will receive a TWD 320,000 ($10,700) seat in November's APTC Championship, plus an additional $500 to help with expenses.

Where to Stay for the APT Manila Classic 2025

As is usually the case, the APT has joined forces with DK Poker Tour Bookings to offer traveling players special deals on hotel accommodation and airport transfers. One-way transfers from Ninoy Aguino International Airport cost the equivalent of $60; depending on traffic conditions, it takes 30-60 minutes to get from the airport to the APT Manila Classic 2025 venue.

Among the DK Poker Tour Bookings offers are a $170 per night stay, including breakfast in the Crowne Plaza Hotel's standard room, of $300 per night for a one bedroom suite. Those prices increase slightly to $180 and $310 per night if you book for less than five nights.

Stopping at the Crowne Plaza means you should not incur additional travel costs because you are staying at the festival's venue.

The Hop Inn Hotel Ortigas Center is a more budget-friendly hotel, with room-only rates starting at $40 per night. It is located a 15-minute walk from the APT Manila Classic 2025 venue (1.3 kilometers away).

Go Hotels Ortigas Centre is priced between the two previously mentioned hotels. Its standard rooms with breakfast start at $65 per night. This hotel is a mere 220 meters from where you'll be grinding tournaments and cash games.
