ACCOR will be introducing its Ibis and Novotel Suites brands in Manila in the coming years.
The economy Ibis is part of the company’s master plan to redevelop the commercial and entertainment hub Araneta Centre in Quezon City.
The Ibis property is currently at the design stage and will likely break ground next year, said a spokesperson for the Araneta Group of Companies. Further information on the number of rooms and opening date are not yet available at press time.
Accor will also manage its first Novotel Suites in Asia, a 150-room property at the Acqua Residences in Mandaluyong City, in 2018.
“Novotel Suites Manila at Acqua is a new generation of hotel that recreates a ‘home’ away from home with its spacious and flexible design, plus the benefits and security of hotel services,” said Patrick Basset, COO for Accor Thailand, Vietnam, South Korea, Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar and the Philippines.
“It will fill a gap in the market for a modern, functional longer-stay accommodation conveniently located in Metro Manila,” he added.
In addition to the existing Sofitel Philippine Plaza, Accor will open Novotel Manila Araneta and Mercure Ortigas next year and turn the Admiral Hotel into an MGallery Collection in 2016.
