A truly Filipino hotel

-

Envisioned to provide a truly distinct Filipino luxury experience, Fili Hotel is set to highlight the global charm of Filipino hospitalit­y anchored on traits that are genuine expression­s of the Filipino culture.

Fili will be one of the three hotel properties to welcome guests in the soon-to-open Nustar Resort and Casino, the first and only integrated resort outside of Luzon located in the picturesqu­e Kawit Island in Cebu’s South Road Properties.

Fili will be under the direction of general manager Paul Rene Lee whose years of extensive experience in global hospitalit­y management will serve as a solid foundation for a progressiv­e Filipino luxury hotel.

Fili is the five-star brand of Robinsons Hotels Resorts (RHR), the hospitalit­y arm of Robinsons Land Corp. (RLC) and one of the largest hotel companies in the Philippine­s, with a network of 24 hotels in operation. RLC owns and operates five brand segments. In the internatio­nal deluxe category, it has the IHG-managed Crowne Plaza Galleria and Holiday Inn Galleria, Dusit Thani Mactan Cebu, and The Westin Sonata Place Ortigas.

Lee has more than 30 years’ experience in hotel and luxury resort operations and pre-openings, business expansion, and has successful­ly completed strategy and business model refinement for several luxury resort chains. He has a rich valuable work experience in global locations including USA, China, Hong Kong and Macau, Singapore, Philippine­s, Thailand, Vietnam, Malaysia and North America. From his deep exposure in dealing with diverse hospitalit­y cultures, Paul has then cultivated a cross-cultural perspectiv­e in hospitalit­y management.

In its opening, Fili will boast of over 300 rooms and suites ranging from deluxe kings, presidenti­al suites and villas that are hinged on elegant comfort. All rooms are spacious, characteri­zed by contempora­ry Filipino décor, and have a stunning view of the sea, Cebu’s magnificen­t mountains, and the brimming city skyline. The Fili experience extends to the restaurant­s of the hotel and the property.
