Filinvest enters hotel industry
MANILA, Philippines - Cebu, famous for its rich historical past as well as its bustling and modern city, serves as a focal point of growth in southern Philippines.
Such is Cebu’s beauty that Conde Nast Traveler Magazine has named it as the seventh best Asia-Pacific island destination in 2009 as well as the seventh best island destination in the Indian Ocean-Asia region in 2007.
It is just fitting that Filinvest Development Corp. chose to mark its entry into the hospitality industry with a landmark project in Mactan, Cebu known as the Crimson Resort and Spa.
The sprawling six-hectare resort with 250 casita suites, and 40 private villas with 38 plunge pools marries both elegant comfort and style.
It is also home to the 2,000 square meter spa called Aum, the distinctive Grand Coral Ballroom, and four uniquely designed food and beverage outlets.
With the masterful artistry of California-based, world-renowned resort architectural firm of WATG, Crimson transports its guests to a world reminiscent of Balinese-inspired resorts with unique Philippine touches.
Beautiful landscaped gardens and contemporary and muted tropical aesthetics punctuated by elements of wood, stone and woven natural fibers resonate throughout the resort.
With Crimson’s well-appointed rooms and amenities and an infinity pool that plunges into the ocean, Crimson softly embraces its guests into a warm seclusion, a sense of calm transitioning to a modern tropical hideaway.
This 290-key deluxe beach resort on the island of Mactan is professionally managed and operated by Filarchipelago Hospitality Inc., a joint venture of Filinvest Development Corp. and Singapore-registered Archipelago International Pte Ltd.
It is affiliated with Aston International, which manages hotels, resorts, residences, spas and villas under the Aston, Alana, Quest, Favehotel, Kamuela and Crimson brands.
The joint venture company will undertake management of Filinvest Land’s Grand Cenia Hotel and Residences also in Cebu, upon its completion in 2011 and Filinvest Alabang’s hotel in its Entrata Complex under the Crimson brand.
Nestled in one of the country’s most prestigious tourist destinations, this exclusive piece of paradise is just 15 minutes away from the Mactan International Airport.
Dedicated to perfecting the tropical oceanfront retreat experience, Crimson Resort and Spa’s highly personalized service, and careful attention to style, can only be described as heartfelt service.
As Crimson opens its doors, guests will be treated to memories that will last long after their stay.
