InterCon closing
InterContinental Manila is closing its doors permanently by the yearend. The property will be transformed into a mixed-used development complex—with two new hotels, two office buildings, a convention tower and an intermodal transport hub.
“In the next five years, P125 billion will be spent to revitalize the city,” says Blas. “The major component of the development around the original InterCon area is the intermodal transport hub. It will look like the predeparture area of an airport. We’re all very excited.”
The InterCon will have one last New Year’s Eve celebration on Dec. 31.
“The coming holiday season will be a momentous occasion for InterContinental Manila,” says the hotel’s GM, Christian Pirodon. “This year, we say goodbye to our dear friends, patrons, employees and everyone who have been part of the hotel’s 46 years of existence. The celebration will be bittersweet as we recall happy memories... because we were once part of many people’s milestones.”
Bidding adieu after 46 years of exis- tence is not an easy task, but Pirodon says, “We look forward to spending the remaining weeks with our treasured customers. I invite everyone to celebrate the holidays and revel in nostalgia. Ring in the New Year and join us...”
