NEWS | Hilton takes Conrad brand into Philippines with SM Investment deal



Hilton Worldwide has signed a management agreement with SM Hotels and Conventions Corporation, a subsidiary of SM Investment Corporation, to manage Conrad Manila in the Philippines’ capital city, Manila. Scheduled to open in mid 2015, the 350-room Conrad Manila is the first Conrad Hotels & Resorts branded property in the Philippines, and will be located along the Manila Bay front and in the heart of the 42-hectare SM Bay City development – home to the fourth largest shopping mall in the world.
“We are extremely pleased to be introducing the Conrad brand’s uniquely intuitive service and personalized experiences to the Philippines which has such a well-deserved reputation for hospitality,” said John Vanderslice, global head of luxury and lifestyle brands for Hilton Worldwide. “In keeping with the spirit of the more than 20 Conrad Hotels & Resorts operating around the globe, Conrad Manila will represent a destination for a new generation of smart luxury travellers for whom life, business and pleasure seamlessly intersect – people who know that the greatest luxury is the luxury of being yourself.”
