Sofitel Philippine Plaza will open in 2007 after a multi-million USD renovation programme to rooms and public areas is completed. Accor has been awarded the management contract.
The launch of a Sofitel in Manila is part of the largest-ever expansion of Accor’s 5-star luxury brand in the Asia Pacific region. There are currently 36 Sofitels in Asia Pacific and a further 20 are under development.
Renovation of the hotel’s main dining outlet has already begun, with the whole project scheduled for completion in March 2006.
Accor Asia Pacific Managing Director Michael Issenberg said the addition marked another major milestone for Sofitel brand expansion in the Asia Pacific region. “Our goal is to have a Sofitel hotel in the region’s most significant commercial and tourism destinations. After renovation and rebranding the Sofitel Philippine Plaza will be a very worthy addition to the fast growing Sofitel network in Asia Pacific.”
“Manila is a commercial hub and with the city having increased air links with key centres around the Asia Pacific, the addition of the Sofitel Hotel in Manila will play an important role in establishing Sofitel as the leading five-star hotel brand in Asia Pacific.”
