Resorts World boosting hotel rooms to 3,555

MANILA, Philippines — Travellers International Hotel Group, Inc. expects the number of its hotel rooms in Resorts World Manila to increase to 3,555.

TIHGI president and chief executive officer Kingson Sian said this is the most number of hotel rooms that can be found in a single property.

RWM has four hotels Marriott Hotel Manila, Maxims Hotel, Hilton Manila, and Holiday Inn Express Manila Newport City.

The Grand Wing will add international luxury hotels such as Sheraton Manila Hotel and the Hotel Okura Manila.

“For the past two years, our efforts have been focused on rebuilding and expansion. That focus is reflected in our performance last year,” Sian said.

Foot traffic averaged close to 28,500 per day, ending the year with a total of 10.4 million guests.

Meanwhile, average occupancy rates for Marriott Hotel Manila, Maxims Hotel, Hilton Manila, and Holiday Inn Express Manila Newport City remained steady at 79 percent, Sian said.
