“To be recognized among Asia-Pacific’s best city hotels by Travel+Leisure’s global readership underscores the strength of the Solaire brand and the Philippines’ growing stature as a world-class luxury destination,” said David Batchelor, senior vice president for hotel resort operations.

He added that the award reflects the dedication of the resort’s employees, the loyalty of its guests and the company’s focus on innovation, service excellence and Filipino hospitality.

The latest recognition places Solaire alongside some of the region’s most prominent city hotels and underscores growing international interest in Philippine luxury travel and hospitality offerings.
