The Board of Investments said Thursday it approved the P4.1-billion Westin Sonata Palace Hotel project of Robinsons Land Corp. in Mandaluyong City.
The Westin Manila Sonata Palace Hotel is RLC’s first Marriott International Hotel brand, a top-rate international brand in terms of facilities and excellent service.
“Tourism/accommodation is among the few industries to have registered a growth uptick among project approvals this year as new hotels are established with COVID-19 proofing measures to ensure tourists are safe and secure. With the much-needed government support by incentivizing their efforts, we prepare the country’s industry players for the post-pandemic scenario wherein tourism will finally make its considerable presence felt in the economy,” said Trade Undersecretary and BOI managing head Ceferino Rodolfo.
The project will have 303 rooms, MICE (meetings, incentives, conferencing, and exhibition) facilities, food and beverage venues, recreational spaces, a fitness studio, a full-service spa and a swimming pool. It will also offer guestrooms equipped with the brand’s signature amenities, including an ergonomic work area.
