Park Inn by Radisson Bacolod joins the roster of five other Radisson Hotel brands in the country under SMHCC — Radisson Blu Cebu, Park Inn by Radisson Clark, Park Inn by Radisson Davao, Park Inn by Radisson Iloilo and Park Inn by Radisson North EDSA.
SM Hotels and Conventions Corp (SMHCC) last week announced the opening of Park Inn by Radisson Bacolod, the first international brand hotel to open in the “City of Smiles.”
This is the fifth Park Inn by Radisson hotel in SMHCC’s portfolio and is the second hotel under its licensing agreement with Radisson Hotel Group (RHG), one of the world’s largest and most dynamic hotel groups with more than 1,500 hotels in operation and under development worldwide.
“SMHCC not only seeks to add to the existing roster of brands under our wing. More importantly, we hope to provide sources of livelihood by opening up jobs for our countrymen especially in these difficult times. Being the first international hotel brand in Bacolod, Park Inn by Radisson Bacolod is yet another feather in SMHCC’s cap as it takes hospitality to the next level in this burgeoning city. Indeed, it is a clear testament of SMHCC’s optimism and confidence into the future, as we continue to expand our brand footprint across the Philippines,” Peggy Angeles, SMHCC Executive Vice President, said.
