Tune Opens Hotel in Angeles City, Philippines

Tune Hotels has spread its wings to the Philippines with the official opening of Tune Hotel Angeles City.

The 165-room hotel is designed to be an airport hotel, providing convenience to passengers of the Diosdado Macapagal International Airport, also known as the Clark Airfield which is just 10 minutes’ drive away.

The airport is also the hub for Philippine-based low cost carrier AirAsia Inc. (Philippines) that plans to start flying to domestic and international destinations in the near future.

Group CEO of Tune Hotels, Mark Lankester said, “We are delighted to have finally established our first hotel in the Philippines right here in Angeles City, Pampanga ... More Tune Hotels will be opening in the Philippines and we are excited to participate and play a key role in the robustly growing tourism and travel industry of the Philippines ... With over 7,000 beautiful islands, the Philippines is a vastly popular travel destination, not just with international travellers but also with the local market. Year on year, there has been significant growth in travelling to the Philippines from soaking up the sun on the world renowned beaches of Cebu to experiencing the Filipino culture at the heart of Manila. We see a huge potential in the Philippine market and that is why we are here.”

The Tune Hotel Angeles City is owned and operated by Red Planet Hotels under a franchise agreement with Tune Hotels for the development of Tune Hotels in the Philippines, Thailand and Indonesia.

Located along the hotel and restaurant stretch of Friendship Road, Tune Hotel Angeles City is also 10 minutes by car to the Clark Freeport Zone, a former US Airbase that has been redeveloped with modern infrastructure facilities.

Angeles is approximately 80 kilometres north of Manila and can be reached within around an hour by car or air-conditioned bus.

Tune Hotel Angeles City is the first of seven hotels scheduled for opening by Red Planet Hotels and Tune Hotels in the Philippines from now through to 2013.

The Angeles opening will be immediately followed by a hotel in Cebu on 23 February and Ermita on 9 March. Future locations include Makati, Ortigas and Quezon City in Manila; and Cagayan de Oro in Mindanao.

Including Angeles City, there are now 17 Tune Hotels globally - ten in Malaysia; two in Bali, Indonesia; two in Thailand; two in London, England and one in the Philippines. Adding to these properties will be another 30 hotels scheduled for opening this year in the Philippines, Thailand, Indonesia and the UK.
