| Hotels Division |
 |
The Division operates four (4) hotel properties located in
Metro Manila and Cebu City including deluxe hotels Crowne
Plaza Galleria Manila and Holiday Inn Galleria Manila as well
as Cebu Midtown Hotel and Robinsons Apartelle.
The most exciting development for the division is the soft opening of
the Crowne Plaza Galleria Manila last July 2005. The new hotel
showcases the biggest ballroom in the Ortigas area as well as upscale
conference and function rooms, reinforcing the international corporate
theme of being “the place to meet.” The Crowne Plaza is |
 |
connected on
two floors to the earlier built Holiday Inn Galleria Manila. The two hotels
are managed by the Intercontinental Hotels Group and share several
common amenities and facilities. Crowne Plaza presents the
discerning diner with two restaurants – the contemporary Seven
Corners with seven unique interactive cooking stations and the modern
Xin Tian Di fine dining Chinese restaurant. The Crowne Plaza rooms
have excellent appointments, including a four-piece bathroom, a large
in-room safe box, wide range of amenities, and elegant interiors,
among others.
Holiday Inn Galleria Manila Hotel will undergo major renovation this
year. The plans call for a complete redevelopment of the reception
lobby, front desk, lobby lounge, and Café Rafael. The new face is
expected to revitalize business, particularly the food and beverage
sections, of the Holiday Inn.
Two hotels managed by the Robinsons Land, Cebu Midtown Hotel
and Robinsons Apartelle, are both performing very well. Both hotels
are undergoing major renovations to upgrade quality standards and
better meet the needs of the changing taste of customers.
Outlook for the hotels division is positive on robust tourism arrival
expectations . It is expected to contribute positively to the company’s
earnings this year. |
