MANILA — Travellers International Hotel Group, Inc. (TIHGI), owner and operator of Resorts World Manila (RWM), has sealed a deal with Japanese hospitality chain, Hotel Okura Co., Ltd. (Okura), to operate a 191-room luxury hotel targeted for soft opening by the fourth quarter of the year.<\/p>\n

The Hotel Okura Manila, which is part of the country\u2019s first integrated resort, will join the roster of RWM\u2019s current portfolio of international hotel brands that include Marriott Hotel Manila, along with the soon-to-open Sheraton Manila Hotel and Hilton Manila.<\/p>\n

Remington Hotel, RWM\u2019s value for money offering, will soon be rebranded as Holiday Inn Express.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Philippines, especially Manila, is a very promising market considering the nation\u2019s gross domestic product (GDP) and population size, both of which are growing fast. The local hotel business is benefiting from these and other favorable trends,\u201d said Okura President Toshihiro Ogita.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe will leverage the group\u2019s expertise in traditional Japanese hospitality to make Hotel Okura Manila a much-beloved hotel among both local and foreign visitors,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Okura intends to expand its growing portfolio to 100 properties worldwide, with focus on Asia.<\/p>\n

Okura has already announced to open Okura brand hotels in Cappadocia in 2019, Phnom Penh, Ho Chi Minh City and Yangon in 2020, and Taichung in 2021.<\/p>\n

Hotel Okura Macau opened in 2011, followed by the opening of The Okura Prestige Bangkok and The Okura Prestige Taipei in 2012.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
