Hyatt Regency to rise inside Clark Freeport
Hyatt Hotels Corp., thru its affiliate Hyatt of Philippines Ltd., has entered into a management agreement with Donggwang Clark Corp. (DCC) for a 350-room Hyatt Regency hotel inside the Clark Freeport Zone, Pampanga. The hotel will mark the Hyatt Regency brand’s entry in Central Luzon.
Hyatt Regency Clark will be part of DCC’s $300-million, 309-hectare integrated resort, the D’ Heights Resort (formerly Sunvalley Clark), which includes two 18-hole golf courses, another five-star brand luxury hotel, a duty free shopping mall, a commercial complex, an indoor water park, a nature park with jogging and biking trails, residential/condominium towers which are currently in the pre-selling stage, and a business park.
“We are delighted to collaborate with DCC and reintroduce the Hyatt Regency brand to the Philippines through the innovative new development in Clark, an up-and-coming destination for leisure and business travelers,” said Hyatt Hotels Asia Pacific Group president David Udell. “The transformation of the city will create opportunities to attract a range of travelers from those with business interests in Clark Freeport Zone to families seeking a recreational getaway.”
“We are thrilled with this opportunity to work with the Hyatt Group in developing another one of their premier hotels here in Clark,” said DCC chairman Lee Shin Kun.
“We believe that the addition of the Hyatt Regency Clark to the other entertainment and leisure facilities here in the D’ Heights Resort will further boost the tourism industry not just in Clark but in the entire country as well. This latest endeavor challenges us to come up with a leisure facility that does not only provide world-class service but something that can contribute significantly to the Philippine economy,” Lee added.
The hotel, set to open in 2022, will include 350 rooms with stylish and comfortable interior design, bars and restaurants, a large ballroom, fitness center, and swimming pool.
