Best Western International NEW

Bangkok -- Best Western International (BWI) – the World's Largest Hotel Chain® – has created a new "super hotel" in Manila – merging three existing Best Western hotels into one exciting, all-encompassing destination.

Located in the modern Makati business and entertainment district of the city, the new BEST WESTERN PLUS Antel Hotel, the first Best Western Plus property in the Philippines, is the result of an unprecedented merger between three of the company's popular Manila properties; BEST WESTERN Antel Spa Suites, BEST WESTERN The A. Venue Suites and BEST WESTERN PLUS Serenity Suites.

"Our three hotels in Makati City already had gained an excellent reputation and a strong following with both domestic and international visitors," said Glenn de Souza, Best Western International's Vice President International Operations – Asia & the Middle East.

"Combining the three hotels, however, will enable us to offer an increased range of facilities and amenities to our guests, and to achieve significant operational synergies. This, in turn, will enable us to better focus our resources and offer the best possible experience to our customers," Mr. de Souza added.

The new BEST WESTERN PLUS Antel Hotel will offer a total of 210 rooms, all of which are non-smoking and open onto balconies. A range of upscale in-room amenities includes kitchenettes with refrigerators and microwaves, as well as work desks and complimentary in-room internet access.

The expanded hotel also offers a broad selection of guest facilities, including 8 function rooms, 3 lobby lounges, 2 restaurants, 2 swimming pools, 2 fitness centers, spa, games room, and a children's playground. BEST WESTERN PLUS Antel Hotel will also be a haven for the corporate and events market, with a ballroom and meeting rooms accommodating up to 120 delegates, backed up by a range of services such as wedding planning, equipment rental, secretarial services and, of course, free internet connectivity in all areas of the hotel.

Following the merger of the three Makati City hotels, Best Western International now offers five distinct properties in the Philippines, offering close to 700 rooms and suites across four destinations. Best Western's expansion in the Philippines will continue at pace in the months and years ahead, with firm plans for the group's first ever properties in Cebu and Angeles City.
