Hotel Okura president Toshihiro Ogita said: “As Hotel Okura’s first hotel to open in the Philippines, we will leverage the group’s expertise in traditional Japanese hospitality to make Hotel Okura Manila a much-beloved hotel among both local and foreign visitors.
“For the past five years, the Philippines has experienced high economic growth surpassing 6% per annum, and its tourism market is expected to achieve mid- to long-term growth.”
The new hotel with 191 rooms of 60m2 will feature dining options including Japanese and Spanish restaurants, bar, pool and fitness facility.
