Megaworld Corp. is putting up a 300-key hotel in its Bacolod 34-hectare mixed-use project, The Upper East.
The 12-storey Kingsford Hotel Bacolod will be located between the four residential condominium towers of One Regis, Two Regis, One Manhattan, and Herald Parksuites, and will feature a unique and iconic design that blends its modern glass architecture with a podium showcasing neoclassical architecture, the company said.
“This new hotel will offer almost 300 room keys, with varied room categories ranging from Twin or Queen Deluxe Rooms (25 square meters), Junior Suites and Specially-Abled Suites (32 square meters), Executive Suites (from 50 square meters to 72 square meters), and a curated Presidential Suite (more than 100 square meters),” it said.
“Kingsford Hotel Bacolod will have an expansive high-ceiling lobby with through-and-through entrances and drop-off areas in both Regis and Manhattan Streets of the township.
As an added security and safety feature, it will also feature its own entry vestibule with baggage scanner and walk-thru metal detectors before entering the main hotel lobby,” it added.
All rooms will be equipped with an electronic key card system.
The hotel will be managed and operated by Megaworld unit, Megaworld Hotels & Resorts.
“Kingsford Hotel Bacolod will be packed with ‘first in Bacolod’ amenities and features, making it a game-changer in Bacolod’s hospitality industry,” it said.
“We are bringing the Kingsford Hotel brand to Bacolod, our second one next to Manila, with so many upgraded facilities and amenities, including a wider choice of room categories and several food and beverage outlets. This will certainly be another iconic landmark for The Upper East and even for the entire City of Bacolod because of its unique architecture that truly stands out when you pass by Upper East Avenue,” said Cleofe Albiso, Megaworld Hotels & Resorts managing director.
Kingsford Hotel will have four food and beverage outlets, which will include a specialty restaurant, an all-day dining restaurant with both private dining and alfresco dining areas, a Zabana Lounge at the ground floor, and a grill bar by the poolside with both indoor and outdoor dining areas.
It will also have its own Gift Shop in the Main Lobby area and a two-level retail arcade outside the hotel lobby fronting the plaza.
“Kingsford Hotel Bacolod will also have its own Executive Lounge, exclusive to VIP guests, including those booked in higher category rooms, where they can eat breakfast, do their express check-in and check-out, and even partake in the hors d’oeuvres with unlimited tea and coffee at certain times of the day,” Megaworld said.
Kingsford Hotel will also have a high-ceiling, pillarless Grand Ballroom with a four-person capacity banquet, and three function rooms.
Kingsford Hotel Bacolod will be scheduled for opening by 2028.
