ROBINSONS Hotels and Resorts (RHR) and Hira Holdings, Inc. (HHI) said they will open a luxury eco-friendly villa resort in Siargao, targeted to be ready by 2026.
Located in Brgy. Malinao, General Luna, the villa resort will have a total land area of 2,856 square meters, RHR said in a media release on Aug. 13.
RHR said it signed a ten-year management agreement with HHI to bring global hospitality standards with “a unique Filipino heart of service” to Siargao.
RHR has 30 hotels across the country under local hotel brands Go Hotels, Go Hotels Plus, Summit Hotels and Resorts, Grand Summit Hotels, and Fili Hotel.
“We are delighted to have this meaningful partnership with Hira Holdings, Inc., a company that shares the same values as RHR,” said Barun Jolly, senior vice-president and business unit head of Robinsons Hotels and Resorts.
He said the partnership signifies a step forward in expanding its geographic presence while maintaining a commitment to “exceptional service and sustainable practices.”
“We are grateful to RHR for opening this opportunity to us. We are confident in the brands and capacity of Robinsons Hotels, which is why it was easy for us to trust and sign with them for our very first hotel, and we look forward to building more with them in the future,” said Haresh Hiranand, president of Hira Holdings.
“We are confident in the bullish economic projection of the country, and with our expertise in hotel brand development, we would like to enable optimistic investors who want to venture into the hospitality industry as well,” Mr. Jolly added. — Aubrey Rose A. Inosante
