La Vie Hotels & Resorts has expanded its footprint in South-east Asia with two management agreements covering Hotel Casiana & Events Centre in Tagaytay and the Grand Casiana Hotel in Mexico, Pampanga.
The signings follow the opening of La Vie’s Philippines-based office in early 2025 and mark the group’s first managed properties in the country. Under the agreements, La Vie will manage the operational hotel in Tagaytay and provide development oversight for the under-construction Grand Casiana Hotel in Pampanga.
La Vie said the two signings establish a foundation for further growth in the Philippines, with both properties located in expanding leisure and commercial corridors.
The expansion comes amid continued growth in the Philippines’ tourism and business travel sectors. In 2025, tourism contributed an estimated US$91.8 billion to the national economy, representing almost 20 per cent of GDP, while international arrivals reached approximately 6.48 million.
Hotel Casiana & Events Centre Tagaytay is located along the Tagaytay-Nasugbu Highway in one of the country’s established leisure destinations. The 146-key hotel features a Scandinavian-inspired design and includes a heated swimming pool, children’s facilities, multiple event spaces and the Crystal Ballroom. The property is positioned to serve leisure travellers as well as corporate events, weddings and social functions.
The Grand Casiana Hotel Mexico is scheduled to open in 3Q2026. The 264-key, 20-storey hotel will be located around 30 minutes from Clark International Airport and is designed to serve the region’s growing aviation, logistics and business sectors. Facilities are planned to include large-scale conference spaces, dining venues, a rooftop bar, fitness centre, outdoor pool and day spa. The hotel is also targeting the MICE, corporate and airline crew segments.
Jerry Sy, developer and owner, Casiana Hotels, said: “Our partnership with La Vie Hotels & Resorts is a major step toward elevating the Casiana brand and strengthening our long-term investments in Philippine hospitality. Together, we are developing properties that will set new benchmarks, Tagaytay for leisure and social occasions, and Mexico, Pampanga for business and MICE.”
Jerry Xu, CEO, La Vie Hotels & Resorts, added: “We look forward to bringing La Vie’s expertise to the market, creating long-term value, and contributing to the evolution of the country’s hospitality landscape.”
