July 17, 2015 marks the celebration of Crowne Plaza Manila Galleria’s 10th year anniversary. Dubbed as #CrownePlazaAt10, the Hotel celebrates a decade of making Business Travel Work.
This includes catering to the needs of the business traveler, from fully equipped rooms designed to be an extension of home and office, a wide variety of dining options, and comprehensive meetings facilities. It served as a witness from small- to large- scale events, ranging from casual meetings to elaborate weddings.
Setting a benchmark
Robinsons Land Corporation announced the introduction of two major brands in the market in 2003. The former Manila Galleria Suites was rebranded into the family-friendly Holiday Inn Manila Galleria, while it revealed the introduction of the first and only Crowne Plaza brand in the Philippines.
The Crowne Plaza Manila Galleria officially opened its doors in 2005. It was a timely opening in the fast-booming Ortigas district which needed a venue to cater to its business needs. Since the hotel opened its doors, it has been called home in Manila by an established loyal following who has seen how it has evolved through the years.
A Great Hotel, Guests Love
“In its ten years, Crowne Plaza has consistently lived up to its motto and vision since it opened its doors which is to always be a ‘Great Hotel, Guests Love,” says Ian Reid, General Manager of Crowne Plaza Manila Galleria, “This simple motto is the driving force behind everything we do, and what has carried us through the decade.”
“This year will see bigger and more programs for our guests to enjoy such as the IHG Business Rewards, Sleep Advantage, IHG Culinary Journey, and a special nutritious Kid’s Menu among others,” shares Reid, “We will continue to make sure to deliver our brand of consistency in everything we do, and these programs are only a peek of what’s to come in the years ahead.”
