Megaworld building its first hotel in North Luzon
Urban township developer Megaworld Corporation is building its first hotel development in Northern Luzon, which will rise inside its 35.6-hectare Capital Town in the City of San Fernando, Pampanga.
In a disclosure to the Philippine Stock Exchange, the firm said the new hotel will be the fifth property under the Savoy Hotel brand of Megaworld Hotels & Resorts, the country’s largest operator of homegrown hotel brands.
Savoy Hotel Capital Town will be strategically located along San Fernando Boulevard inside Capital Town in an area that will have the most concentration of tourists and guests in the township.
It will rise near the soon-to-rise Capital Mall and will be surrounded by residential condominiums, office developments, and the iconic Plaza Pasudeco.
The 16-story hotel will offer a total of 374 rooms, with varied room categories ranging from Twin Suites, Queen Suites, Speciallyabled Twin and Queen Suites, Junior Suites, Executive Suites, and Family Suites.
“Savoy Hotel Capital Town will be the first hotel property of Megaworld Hotels and Resorts in the North,” said Megaworld Hotels and Resorts Managing Director Cleofe Albiso.
She noted that, “We are excited to bring the Savoy Hotel brand to the Pampanga capital as it is our award-winning hotel brand today. Having a hotel in Capital Town will surely boost local tourism in this historic city.”
The overall design and theme of the hotel are rooted in Neo-Baroque architecture, the same concept that characterizes the beautiful city of Madrid in Spain.
“Now is the perfect time to bring in Megaworld’s homegrown hotel brand to Capital
Town. The emerging tourism scene in this side of Pampanga is evident with the overwhelming support we are receiving from locals and guests coming to our township,” said Megaworld Pampanga Senior Vice President for Sales and Marketing Eugene Em Lozano.
He added that, “With Savoy Hotel Capital Town coming in, we are once again fulfilling our promise to the Kapampangans to bring the Megaworld signature live-work-play-learn lifestyle.”
Savoy Hotel Capital Town will have four F&B outlets, which include a specialty restaurant, a 112-seater all-day dining restaurant with alfresco areas, a Zabana bar and lounge, and a pool grill bar with outdoor dining that can host up to 60 people.
It will also have a gift shop, as well as several other retail spaces on the ground floor.
On the second floor of the hotel, guests will find a highceiling ballroom that comes with pre-function areas and can hold up to 160 persons.
There are also three function rooms that can accommodate up to 108 people combined, meeting rooms, a business center, and an executive lounge exclusively for VIPs and guests booked in the larger suites.
Among other amenities guests can find at the third floor include a fitness center, a kid’s club, and a pool deck with adult and kiddie pools, an activity lawn, outdoor landscaped areas, a reading nook, and a hammock yard or lounge area.
To be managed and operated by Megaworld Hotels & Resorts and scheduled for opening in 2028, Savoy Hotel Capital Town is the 19th hotel property launched by the group.
