IHG Hotels & Resorts has signed an agreement to bring the InterContinental brand back to Manila with a new hotel scheduled to open in 2032.
The 212-room InterContinental Manila will be located in Bonifacio Global City (BGC), a 240-hectare business district in Metro Manila. The development marks the brand’s return to the Philippine capital more than 15 years after its previous property closed.
BGC has developed into one of the city’s main commercial areas, housing the Philippine Stock Exchange, multinational companies and residential developments.
The hotel is expected to include an all-day dining restaurant, a specialty restaurant and bar, as well as meeting and event spaces including a ballroom and function rooms. Other facilities will include a health club, spa and an outdoor swimming pool.
IHG is partnering with Keyland Corporation, Philippine Realty and Holdings Corporation and Greenhills Properties on the project. The companies are involved in property development across Metro Manila, including residential and commercial projects in areas such as Makati, Ortigas and Bonifacio Global City.
InterContinental Manila will join a global portfolio of more than 240 InterContinental hotels and resorts. The brand also has additional projects in the pipeline in the Philippines and other markets.
“Reintroducing InterContinental to Manila is a wonderful milestone, and a perfect fit for the city with strong long-term fundamentals and increasing demand for luxury travel,” said Vivek Bhalla, managing director, South East Asia and Korea, IHG Hotels & Resorts.
