Philippines: SM Hotels and Conventions Corp. (SMHCC) and Lanson Place Hospitality Management have signed a management agreement for the opening of the first Lanson Place in the Philippines.
Lanson Place Hotel and Serviced Suites is set to open within the SM Mall of Asia complex in Pasay City in 2022. The country’s first Lanson Place will feature 250 hotel rooms and 150 serviced apartments.
It will be in close proximity to the mall, as well as SMX Convention Center, and eCom office buildings. It is also a 15 minute drive away from the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA), and accessible to other commercial and entertainment hubs.
“We are delighted to be able to introduce Lanson Place’s contemporary lifestyle into The Philippines… Lanson Place Hotel and Serviced Suites will serve as an ideal setting for guests looking for quality accommodation and attentive service, whether for a short or long-term stay. We are very excited to be collaborating with SMHCC on this project and we can’t wait to receive our first guests,” said LPHM CEO Michael Hobson.
Founded in 1995, LPHM is a wholly owned subsidiary of Hong Kong-developer Wing Tai Properties Ltd. It is currently managing 12 serviced apartment projects in Hong Kong, Shanghai, Chengdu, Kuala Lumpur, and Singapore, and a high-end boutique hotel in Hong Kong.
“Lanson Place Hotel and Serviced Suites Mall of Asia will be an outstanding addition to the SM Hotels and Conventions Corp. (SMHCC) portfolio. Its anticipated opening of the property underscores the expanding footprint of SMHCC and will be an added boost in the booming Philippine hospitality industry,” said SMHCC president Elizabeth Sy.
