Philippines: Discovery Suites Ortigas, the first hotel opened by the Discovery Leisure Company, hospitality group, has celebrated its 20th anniversary.
Discovery Suites was founded by Ruben Tiu in 2000 and now has properties in Makati, Tagaytay, Boracay, and Palawan.
At a ceremony to make the occasion, Maria Nicola Nievera, marketing and communications manager for Discovery Suites, gave an update on a new brand. “Kip&Kin is a new brand for the Discovery Group, targeting the market with a millennial lifestyle with a youthful approach to all the amenities and services. It has a hotel and a hostel concept, which started construction two years ago in Siargao. The target opening date is Q1 of 2021.”
Discovery Suites was the first serviced apartment in the Ortigas Business District, according to Nievera. “No other hotels have trailblazed the Filipino brand of hospitality. We have proudly leveraged on that and transformed it into action, having that culture and promise of ‘Service That’s All Heart,’ with the hand in heart gesture. We have started it early on, and have been known for this, making it a distinction of what a Discovery property is. It’s always being true to our promise and commitment in delivering the trailblazing Filipino hospitality — tasteful, memorable, and meaningful experiences that feels like home.”
Since its opening in 2000, Discovery Suites Ortigas has won several awards, including a TripAdvisor Certificate of Excellence in consecutive years from 2012-2018, as well as a Condé Nast Readers’ Choice Award for Top 20 Hotels in Asia.</p
