FILINVEST Development Corp. (FDC) is close to completing the construction of its 256-keys Grafik Hotel Collection Baguio where it is spending P2.7 billion.
This follows after FDC unit, Filinvest Hospitality Corp. (FHC), formally topped-off the development located within Camp John Hay.
“This marks the official launch of FHC’s Grafik Hotel Collection, a new line of hotels aiming to deliver guest experiences that will inspire stories about Filipino culture and heritage. The project is in partnership with the Bases Conversion and Development Authority (BCDA) and John Hay Management Corp. (JHMC),” FDC said.
The hotel is being developed under the group’s Grafik Hotel Collection.
Grafik Hotel Collection Baguio will offer 256 upscale accommodations, five food & beverage outlets, a grand ballroom, meeting spaces and a spa.
FHC targets to open the hotel in the first quarter of 2025.
“The Grafik Hotel Collection is poised to make a significant impact on the local economy. By creating numerous employment opportunities, we aim to engage and uplift the community,” said Francis Gotianun, FHC first senior vice president.
“Our project will not only boost tourism but also foster a sense of pride and involvement among the residents of Baguio. We are committed to contributing to the city’s growth and prosperity,” he added.
Catering to both domestic and international travelers, FDC said the new hotel will support local businesses and contribute to the overall economic growth of Baguio City.
The project has generated approximately 3,000 jobs during its construction phase and will hire around 250 to 300 employees when it becomes operational.
The Grafik Hotel Collection in Baguio is the eighth hotel property of the Filinvest Group.
