Passion imbued by its mission to provide excellent service culture, sophistication, and customer satisfaction typify this patented service at Lanson Place Manila, a property of Wing Tai, has expanded its property to the Travel City of the Philippines — Pasay City. 

On April 24, Lanson Place Mall of Asia officially opened its doors to families, business leaders, and tourists. Bringing forth their endeavor of bringing a lifestyle brand hotel and service apartment in the Philippines, Lanson Place elevates hospitality by ensuring that guests meet the “home away from home” experience. 

Redefining hospitality experience in Metro Manila

During his welcome remarks, Mr. Laurent Boisdron, Vice-President and General Manager of Lanson Place Mall of Asia Manila, emphasized that their goal is to ensure the best service for their guests’ satisfaction.

“Beyond the property’s physical amenities, what truly sets us apart is our unwavering commitment to service excellence. Over the last two years, our team of devoted hosts has cultivated a deep understanding of true service culture and extensive expertise in the long-stay hospitality experience, always centered squarely on guest satisfaction,” said Boisdron. 

Boisdron introduced some key features of the Lanson Place’s amenities such as events ballroom venues (Saffron), meeting rooms, and dining options — Cyan Modern Kitchen, Madeleine High Tea, BLK12 Café|Bar, Bytes, Focus, and EDGE Pool Bar. Furthermore, he explained that this joint venture with SM Hotels and Conventions Corp. is not only an additional portfolio to SM, but is also a testament to a partnership with “shared values [which] can translate into extraordinary agendas”. 

“Make yourself home,” he concluded. 

SMHCC expands portfolio in Phl 

Executive VP of SM Hotels and Conventions Corporation, Ms. Peggy Angeles, said that more than just hotel accommodations, Lanson Place is an introductory of service apartments, underscoring the uptick of corporate travelers in the metro. 

This partnership with SMHCC underscores world-class hospitality while bringing the rich and diverse life, culture, and opportunities of Pasay. She also highlighted how five years ago, it was only a vision of having 250 room units which now led to having 390 hotel and service apartment units. 

In interview with THEPHILBIZNEWS, Angeles shared that SMHCC invested 3.6 billion pesos for this property. Likewise, she mentioned that SMHCC has nine hotels in the pipeline. Last month, they signed six agreements with hotels and five of those are in partnership with Radisson Hotel Group. 

Angeles also mentioned that there will also be a service apartment in Clark, Pampanga. SMHCC is expanding in various areas outside the metro such as in Cavite, Laguna, Isabela, and Olongapo. 

“Our expansion is to give accommodations outside of Metro Manila. On top of that, we are also expanding our SMX Convention Center – one in Cebu; [and] the size of which is almost replicating what we have here in the Mall of Asia. We also have SMX in Iloilo,” said Peggy. 

The inauguration commenced with a ribbon-cutting ceremony at the Porte Cochère, led by Honorable Pasay City Mayor Imelda Calixto-Rubiano; President of SM Hotels and Conventions Corporation Ms. Elizabeth Sy; Executive Vice President of SM Hotels and Conventions Corporation Ms. Peggy Angeles; Director for Corporate Development of Wing Tai Asia Ms. Karen Li; Chief Executive Officer of Lanson Place Hospitality Management (LPHM) Mr. Michael Hobson; Director for Operations of LPHM Mr. Mark Burns; and Vice-President and General Manager of Lanson Place Mall of Asia Manila Mr. Laurent Boisdron.

Guests of Honour, on the other hand, include Chairman of the Executive Committee of SM Prime Holdings Mr. Hans T. Sy, and Executive Director of SM Investments Corporation Mr. Harley T. Sy, respectively. 

Indeed, Lanson Place’s unwavering commitment to service excellence ensures your stay is as seamless and refreshing as the flow of the sea. Immerse in a luxurious touch of nature in pulchritude — inspired by waves in intricate details like the carpet and facade, and where every room reflects natural daylight.

As emphasized by Mr. Michael Hobson, Chief Executive Officer, Lanson Place Hotel Management, Lanson Place envisions to uphold being the “personal” hotel and residences — ensuring to “deliver home experience here.”

Life isn’t simple anymore. There’s great power to KNOWING ALL in a single click of a mouse, so humanity tends to accept the responsibility of BEING ALL, because of it. Competition is getting more and more fierce; more pressure is felt; stress levels go up; those of us who aren’t ready for battle are gonna fail, fall into depression, maybe question everything about life for a while — hopefully to get up from the slump at some point.

Unfortunately, there are some who need a bit more help, a little more push, to get back on track.

I am here with you today because focus is necessary in life. So much is going on, all at the same time; we cannot lose our guard, ever, and be too overwhelmed into losing what’s important to us — confidence, perseverance and faith.

One of my clients, Joe (not his real name), was at his A-game; marketing and selling his business to clients for years and years, until tragedy struck and he fell into depression and developed PTSD. Practically overnight, he changed from a carefree individual into a man paralyzed with fear at the mere mention of the experience he has oh-so-been wanting to just forget about but at the same time, cannot live without thinking about for 5 years now. He keeps on replaying his nightmare of an experience to himself, therefore stopping himself from reaching actual goals and pursuing new dreams.

Joe has had breakthroughs and small changes; I’m ecstatic to have seen improvements in him in these 10 months of our coaching sessions so far. He’s also been seeing a psychiatrist, so he’s doing better in his days. I am confident that if he keeps on walking this path of self-improvement, very soon he can totally get back his mojo, and again, conquer the world.

Life is about pleasure and pain. We do things to seek pleasure and avoid other things to steer clear of pain. However much we try to avoid feeling pain though, it is inevitable to bump into it at different points in our lifetime. Life, being how it is, can sometimes confuse us to thinking that particular instances happening to us, define who we truly are. Limiting beliefs and fears come up; what once would’ve been safe and acceptable becomes too damaging and unbearable. The result? People come short of their full potential. Like Joe, for example. He is very much aware of his limiting beliefs, however, he’s still finding his way, one small step at a time, to completely shift his perspective to form new habits and behaviors that can ultimately crush the power of fear in him.

Let me share 3 crucial ways that have been proven to lighten any heavy load that life can throw at us.

Focus on the essentials

Frightful instances may come our way everyday but we don’t have to concentrate on seeing all this negative energy. Focus on what’s important. Self-improvement, love for family, business goals, spiritual growth. These are the things that we actually stare into and actively take action on. Whatever’s on the side is just on the side. Focus, focus, focus.

Accept your circumstance

When life gives you lemons, don’t throw these blessings away. Do make lemonade!

Acceptance is the beginning of happiness. We are where we are. We accept and then move to make sure that everyday we stay happy or move forward to get better at whatever it is that’s important to us, each day. Whatever your weakness or situation may be, acknowledge this and accept it. Then, discover ways to work around it to make sure you’re finding actionable steps to cope and be a better you. Pray. Meditate. Exercise, rest and drink lots of fluids.

Practice being comfortable with discomfort

Discomfort in self-improvement is a sign of progress. You have to get out of your comfort zone to stretch your growth muscles for development and recover from any form of slump. Be ok with losing, and have a Super Mario effect, kind of disposition. That is, to be ok with pitfalls. Just keep on pushing; keep your eyes on your goal, or if you were Mario, the princess prize.

Whatever your situation in life is; it’s gonna be OK. Just do your best to keep yourself afloat. And, keep the faith. Believe that things are bound to get better. They always do. It may take time, but you have to keep pushing. Never give up.

Remember, what we think, we create!
