The first Lanson Place in the Philippines, located at the heart of the Mall of Asia complex surrounded by the flagship SMX Convention Center Manila and the imposing eCom office buildings, is set to open next year.
Within 15 minutes away from the capital’s two international airports, Lanson Place Hotel and Serviced Suites Mall of Asia is strategically located near the city’s main commercial and entertainment districts as well as tourist attractions such as museums and historical landmarks.
The hotel rooms as well as the well-appointed serviced apartments are designed in sleek, contemporary style. Facilities include an all-day dining restaurant, a fitness center and a rooftop swimming pool offering a full view of the picturesque Manila Bay. An al fresco facility on the podium caters to relaxing intimate events.
“SMHCC takes pride in bringing the Lanson Place brand to the country. As the hospitality industry moves closer to its recovery, we believe that the introduction of Lanson Place Mall of Asia will help pave the way to a more robust and dynamic tourism in the Philippines,” added SMHCC President Elizabeth Sy.
SM Hotels and Conventions Corp. (SMHCC) was established in April 2008 with the primary purpose of developing and managing the hotel and convention properties of SM Prime, one of the largest integrated property developers in Southeast Asia.
SMHCC’s encouraging growth has propelled the company’s goal to double its portfolio throughout the country within the next five years. It is geared towards becoming a brand powerhouse that ultimately seeks to create an indelible mark in the country’s tourism industry.
“We are very much looking forward to bringing our renowned hospitality to the Philippines and this exciting milestone brings us one step closer to being able to offer our guests the comfort of home, the devotion of our colleagues and the spirit of the Lanson Place community,” said Michael Hobson, Lanson Place Hospitality Management CEO Michael Hobson.
