Best Western and Makati City’s Antel Hotel have celebrated two milestones - the launching of the brand new Serenity Tower and the hotel’s rebranding as the first ever BEST WESTERN PLUS in the Philippines.
The
twin achievements were marked at a glittering event on November 19,
attended by several leading company officials. The Serenity Tower was
officially opened with a ribbon-cutting ceremony presided over by Ms.
Elena Jao, President & Chairman of Antel Land Holdings Inc. and
Mr. Khalid Ragab, Best Western International’s Regional Operations
Manager - Asia & Middle East. This was followed immediately by
the main event at the AQUA function room, where guests from the
travel trade, corporate partners and members of the media were
present to join the celebrations.
The
revamped hotel now offers three towers - A. Venue, Antel Spa and
Serenity – with a total of 210 beautifully furnished suites. The
hotel also features two restaurants - Azzurro Bistro & Bar
offering Mediterranean cuisine and Taberna Barcelona offering a
modern Spanish menu – plus three lounges, eight function rooms, two
swimming pools, a pool bar, two fitness centers, two business
centers, two children’s playgrounds and a Toccare Spa.
“With
over 210 hotels and more than 32,000 rooms in operation, rebranding,
and under construction across Asia and the Middle East, Best Western
is committed to this region’s hospitality and tourism industry. And
we are planning to double our portfolio in the Philippines over the
next 14 months, from six to 12 hotels,” said Glenn de Souza, Best
Western International’s Vice President International Operations –
Asia & the Middle East.
