Tune Hotel Ortigas opens

Internationally owned and operated hotel brand Tune Hotels announced the opening of the 182-room Tune Hotel Ortigas.  Located in the heart of Ortigas’ central business district on Shaw Boulevard, the property is the eighth Tune Hotel to open in the Philippines in the last two years after Angeles City, Ermita, Makati, Cebu, Davao, Cagayan de Oro and Quezon City.

Red Planet Hotels, which operates Tune Hotels, said two more hotels will open in the Philippines in 2014, further strengthening the company’s confidence and commitment to the local tourism industry.

“By the end of 2014, we will have a total of 1,720 rooms with ten hotels in the Philippines, cementing our position as the largest internationally owned and operated hotel brand in the country,” she said.  “Not only are we growing in numbers, but we have received a great deal of acceptance among the travelling public for the value for money that we provide.”

Tune Hotels is a sister company of Air Asia Airlines.  The two further Tune Hotels to open in the near future will be in Aseana City (200 rooms, May 2014) and Ayala Avenue, (189 rooms, November 2014).

The expansion will allow the company to take advantage of the 24-percent growth in tourist arrivals projected by the Department of Tourism for 2014.

“We are fully committed to helping expand, and grow with the international and domestic travel industries in the Philippines,” Ms. Zaldivia said.
