Today’s travelers do not only seek to trek familiar tourist trails or uncover treasures off the beaten track. They also demand lodging that grants them connectivi­ty and accessibil­ity to key destinatio­ns.

Robinsons Land Corp., the real estate arm of JG Summit Holdings Inc., addresses these issues in the form of Summit Hotels and Resorts—a collection of super deluxe hotels that feature unique and functional design aesthetics, a range of tech-friendly amenities, a quick access to major city attraction­s and to a Robinsons mall, powerful brand tie-ups, and that distinct Filipino brand of hospitalit­y.

Whether traveling for business or leisure, solo or with the whole gang, there’s a Summit Hotel that’s guaranteed to give one his much needed R and R after an activity-filled day.

Considered as the flagship hotel in the group’s portfolio, the Summit Galleria Cebu boasts an urban contempora­ry design that hints of the Queen City of the South’s rich history and excellent craftsmans­hip interwoven with global design talent.

All 220 rooms of the hotel are exquisitel­y designed and furnished with superior-quality beds and linens, plush pillows, and premium, customized amenities for an exceptiona­l stay. The suites and family rooms are named and patterned after Cebu icons such as the Sinulog Festival, Cebu mango and Datu Lapu-Lapu.

The hotel also features an indoor pool, an all-day dining restaurant, a café and bar, as well as game and leisure areas where guests can lounge with friends and family.

A favorite among weekenders for an easy escape and a cooler climate, Tagaytay has bragging rights when it comes to scenic spots. Apart from that, it is home to the Summit Ridge Tagaytay, a 108-room property that offers stunning views of Taal Volcano.

It has 18 suites with two bedrooms each, a living room and kitchen area. Recreation­al facilities include a spa, an infinity pool, an in-house gym, and indoor basketball and badminton courts. Its banqueting and MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Exhibition­s and Convention­s) facilities are some of the biggest in Tagaytay.

As the hotel is right next to the Summit Ridge Promenade, guests are spoilt for choice with dining options—from the on-site a la carte restaurant which is operated by Tito Chef Restaurant, to the dining outlets at the next-door promenade.

Located in New Manila, Quezon City, the Summit Hotel Magnolia is an 82-room boutique hotel that is convenient­ly within the Robinsons Magnolia mall complex. Luxe furniture and vibrant artworks dot the lobby, common areas, and guest rooms that show off both functional­ity and aesthetics.

Eight stylish suites are available and come in different themes—the Nostalgic Suite for throwback feels; the Fabulous Suite for some Hollywood glam; the Magical Suite for Moorish interiors; and the Divine Suite for a zen-like, Oriental oasis.

All suites are equipped with modern room amenities including top of the line multimedia entertainm­ent system provided by Devant. A compliment­ary super breakfast at The Clubhouse Restaurant is already included in the price of the room.

Lastly, the Summit Circle Cebu is at the center of everything bright and delightful in Cebu, merely minutes away from top tourist attraction­s, hip clubs and bars. It is also a favorable jump-off point to various white sand beaches and diving sites in the province.

It has a business center, in-room spa services, free WiFi access and offers airport transfers. No stay is complete without a visit to its premier food and beverage outlet, the Classic Cuisine or C2, which serves up exceptiona­lly refined versions of Filipino comfort food and continenta­l culinary favorites—perfect for local and transient foodies alike.

The collection will further grow to five properties with the opening of Summit Hotel Tacloban later this year.
