“We have worked very hard to bring into Solaire the finest and the brightest — from architecture and construction, interiors and amenities to gaming, cuisine and entertainment. Solaire will be an exceptional destination resort and gaming complex, the like of which has not been seen nor experienced in the Philippines,†Razon remarked.
Solaire’s opening ceremonies, hosted by Marc Nelson, Joey Mead-King and Rovilson Fernandez, were a testament to the resort’s grandeur with stunning visuals and graceful aerial dancers. As the countdown reached its final seconds, the doors opened to the ecstatic crowd. Guests during the opening day were given an exclusive preview of Solaire before it finally opened to the public. There was an overflow of drinks and samplers from some of Solaire’s signature restaurants. Guests also enjoyed performances from top Filipino balladeer Martin Nievera together with performer Ryan Gallagher.
The Phase 1 of Solaire is comprised of approximately 500 luxuriously appointed rooms, suites and bayside villas with a majestic view of the Manila Bay sunset. Two separate arrival and check-in areas pamper guests and showcase the details of world-renowned resort and casino designer Paul Steelman’s striking interior design accentuated by contemporary art pieces by Filipino artists.
