Worldhotel and Residences Makati is scheduled to open in the last quarter of 2013 in Makati Avenue, Metro Manila.

The deluxe 4 star property features 252 guestrooms, including 72 suites, while the residences will feature 149 serviced apartments. Facilities include four restaurants and two bars, in addition to a ballroom, gym, spa lounge, massage, meeting rooms and business centre.

Worldhotel and Residences Makati is the first of five branded hotels currently earmarked by Worldhotels for development over the next decade.

The unique new‘Worldhotel’ branded hotel solution was launched last year. The first property in Asia was Worldhotel Saltanat in Almaty Kazakhstan, followed by Worldhotel Grand Juna Wuxi in China. It expanded to India recently with the opening of Worldhotel Turquoise Chandigarh.

Under the solution Worldhotels provides consultancy, technical support and management services to independent hotels during construction or renovation. It also brings a recognised and respected identity under the Worldhotels brand – along with sales and marketing through its established global distribution network.

“The branded hotel solution offers one of the most flexible models in the world for upscale independent properties and hotel groups, enabling them to position themselves internationally in the face of competition from global hospitality brands,” said Roland Jegge, Worldhotels Vice President Asia-Pacific.
