These brands now serve key tourism markets such as Boracay, Cebu, Bacolod, and Iloilo.</p>



<p>“The story of Belmont Hotel Manila represents where Philippine hospitality is headed—rooted in Filipino warmth, strengthened by sustainability, and anchored on long-term investment value,” said Cleofe Albiso, Managing Director of Megaworld Hotels &amp; Resorts.</p>



<p>Supporting the country’s push for cultural inclusion, Belmont Hotel Manila has also enhanced its facilities and services to accommodate Muslim-friendly tourism—aligned with the Department of Tourism’s initiatives.</p>

<p>Its excellence has been recognized globally. In 2019, the hotel won two major titles at the World Luxury Hotel Awards: Luxury Airport Hotel and Luxury City Hotel (Southern Asia).

<p><strong>Part of a Bigger Growth Blueprint</strong></p>



<p>Megaworld Hotels &amp; Resorts is poised for significant expansion, with 15 additional hotels and over 7,000 rooms set to rise in emerging tourism hubs including Pampanga, Palawan, and Bacolod. Belmont Hotel Manila’s decade-long success in Newport City remains the foundation of this forward-looking growth strategy.</p>



<p>“Belmont Hotel Manila will always be a special milestone for us,” said Cluster General Manager Sonny Alvaro. “Our investors have been part of this journey from day one, and we are committed to ensuring that their investments continue to grow. Their trust fuels everything we do.”</p>
