Megaworld Corp., the property development business of Andrew Tan, said Monday it is set to open this year the largest hotel in the country by room keys, the two-tower 1,500-room Grand Westside Hotel.
The 19-story, two-tower hotel is located within Megaworld’s 31-hectare Westside City township at the Entertainment City in Paranaque City.
“Once it opens, Grand Westside Hotel will become the biggest hotel property in our portfolio and in the entire country to date. It will be just a short drive away from the Ninoy Aquino International Airport via the NAIA Expressway, and promises to delight guests with wonderful views of the world-famous Manila Bay sunset as well as the skylines of Makati, Manila, and Taguig City,” said Cleofe Albiso, managing director, Megaworld Hotels & Resorts.
Grand Westside Hotel will also feature a two-level retail and commercial space covering 1,995 square meters of floor area.
The new hotel is part of the P64 billion that Megaworld has committed to the Westside City development.
Megaworld Hotel & Resorts has 12 operating hotels while seven more are in the pipeline, including the one Savoy Hotel property each in San Vicente, Palawan and the San Fernando City in Pampanga. The existing operational hotels with around 7,700 hotel room keys being managed and operated by the Group include Richmonde Hotel Ortigas, Eastwood Richmonde Hotel, Richmonde Hotel Iloilo, Savoy Hotel Newport, Savoy Hotel Boracay, Savoy Hotel Mactan Newtown, Belmont Hotel Manila, Belmont Hotel Boracay, Belmont Hotel Mactan, Kingsford Hotel Manila, Twin Lakes Hotel in Tagaytay, and Hotel Lucky Chinatown in Binondo, Manila.
