Megaworld to build Kingsford Hotel in Bacolod

- ED PAOLO SALTING

REAL estate firm Megaworld declared that it is investing P2 billion for the constructi­on of its second Kingsford Hotel within the 34-hectare Upper East township in Bacolod City.

Scheduled to open in 2028, the 12-story property will feature a unique and iconic design that blends its modern glass architectu­re with a podium showcasing neoclassic­al architectu­re.

This new hotel will offer 300 rooms, with varied room categories ranging from twin or queen deluxe rooms (25 square meters); junior suites and specially-abled suites (both 32 sqm); executive suites (from 50 sqm to 72 sqm); and a curated presidenti­al suite (more than 100 sqm). All hotel rooms will be equipped with an electronic key card system.

Kingsford Hotel Bacolod will be packed with “first in Bacolod” amenities and features which makes it a game-changer in Bacolod’s hospitalit­y industry.

“We are bringing the Kingsford Hotel brand to Bacolod, our second one next to Manila, with so many upgraded facilities and amenities, including a wider choice of room categories, and several food and beverage outlets. This will certainly be another iconic landmark for the Upper East and even for the entire city of Bacolod because of its unique architectu­re that truly stands out,” says Cleofe Albiso, managing director of Megaworld Hotels and Resorts.

Albiso added that they plan on bringing the best luxury themed products to Bacolod because there is a sophistica­ted market in the province.

“We want to help boost Bacolod’s position as a very attractive meetings, incentives, conference­s and exhibition­s location. Right now, we are building this hotel that will hopefully match the requiremen­ts of the very discerning business travelers,” explains Albiso.
