Hilton Signs New Hotel in Manila

Hilton has signed a management agreement with Travellers International Hotel Group Inc. to manage the Hilton Manila in Newport City in Manila, the capital city of the Philippines.

The agreement will bring the first Hilton Hotels & Resorts hotel to Manila.

Scheduled to open in 2014, the 350-room Hilton Manila is located on Newport Boulevard next to Terminal 3 of the Ninoy Aquino International Airport.

The hotel will be developed by Alliance Global Group, Inc. and Genting Group, and connect to a 30,000 square meter entertainment and hospitality complex.

The 10-storey hotel will offer one all-day dining restaurant, a specialty restaurant, a bar and lobby lounge. It will also have a fitness club, an indoor pool, a spa, a ballroom and other function and meeting space as well as a car park.

“Manila is the political, economic, social and cultural center of the Philippines and a leading gateway destination in Southeast Asia. Our announcement fully demonstrates our ongoing commitment to growing aggressively in Asia Pacific and re-establishes both Hilton Worldwide’s and the Hilton Hotels & Resorts brand’s presence in the Philippines. With an experienced partner like Travellers International Hotel Group Inc., we are confident that Hilton Manila will capitalize on the strong domestic demand from travelers seeking world-class accommodations,” said Andrew Clough, senior vice president, development, Middle East & Asia Pacific, Hilton Worldwide.
