Cathay Land, developer of South Forbes Golf City, and Microtel Development Corporation, recently opened Microtel by Wyndham South Forbes under their joint venture South Forbes Silangan Hotel Corp.
The hotel was formally launched through a ceremony led by the key officers of the partner companies: Cathay Land’s President Jeffrey Ng, Microtel Development Corp. CEO Jose Mari del Rosario and the President / CEO of PHINMA Inc., Ramon del Rosario Jr. Also gracing the event were key local government officials including Mayor Emilia Lourdes Poblete of Silang, Cavite, Mayor Marilyn Alonte of Biñan, Laguna, and Congressman Roy Loyola of the 5th District of Cavite.
Situated right at the entry of the Westborough Town Center – the newest commercial hub within the world-class boutique communities of South Forbes Golf City, Microtel South Forbes sits at the heart of the bustling commercial district of the Metro Sta. Rosa – Tagaytay corridor. Besides an enjoyable accommodation, Umenoya, the hotel’s in house restaurant, offers
the most authentic Japanese cuisine within the area. For sports enthusiasts, a short drive away is South Forbes Golf Club, an 18 hole all weather course known to be a very challenging course that can put any golfer’s skill of the game to a test. Right beside the hotel is the golf club’s driving range. For sports enthusiasts, they may find themselves indulging in an early morning jog or challenging the hilly bike trails along the communities of South Forbes. Nuvali’s wakeboarding course and competition level fields for soccer, baseball and beach volleyball as well as its bird and wildlife sanctuaries are nearby. The strip malls at Paseo de Sta. Rosa feature a variety of international brands’ factory outlet shops and a wide choice of casual dining restaurants.
A pioneer in the no-frills, back-to-basics, limited-service concept and the fastest growing international hotel chain – now with 13 properties across the country – Microtel by Wyndham strategically positions itself in every key tourist and business hub in the Philippines. It is the sole Microtel by Wyndham franchise in Asia belonging to the Wyndham Hotel Group, the world’s largest and most diverse hotel company with 7,540 hotels worldwide in 71 countries under 17 hotel brands.
After the ribbon cutting ceremony, the guests were formally welcomed by Jeffrey Ng of Cathay Land together with his wife Vivian Ng and Jose Mari del Rosario of Microtel Inns & Suites (Pilipinas) Inc. In his remarks, Mr. del Rosario said: “This location was among our priority areas when we started building Microtel hotels more than a decade ago. It’s a truly worthwhile wait as South Forbes has the ingredients we look for: accessibility to the booming technopark with its multinational corporate market. The safety & security offered to the locators of this growing business community makes this such an ideal place. Finding the right partner who developed this master-planned community was of paramount importance. As I’ve said many times, the Metro Sta.Rosa growth area is one emerging hub where we should be present. Microtel had to be here.”
Microtel established their hotel properties all over the Philippine archipelago, providing a much needed jump-off point for tourists to discover the countryside and business professionals to expand their networks. The company is 100 percent Filipino managed and is successful in fusing Filipino hospitality with Wyndham’s global standards.
