Red Planet Opens 10th Hotel in Philippines

Red Planet has opened its tenth hotel in the Philippines.

The 189-room Red Planet Amorsolo, Makati City, Manila, offers free Wi-Fi in all the rooms, 24-hour front desk, facilities for disabled guests, luggage storage and Wi-Fi in the public areas.

The Red Planet Amorsolo brings the number of Red Planet rooms in the country to 1,720.

A key component of the Red Planet brand is a highly functional mobile app. Not only is it a simple and efficient booking portal, but when guests arrive at a Red Planet hotel it activates an in-stay mode. The app then feeds information about relevant local events and points of interest directly to guests' hand-held devices. It also facilitates room-to-room and front desk calling, as well as a chat line, along with many other innovative features, encompassing a full package of assistance no other hotel group in the sector offers.

"No matter what class of hotel you are staying in, technology will always play a key part in getting the most out of your stay in the hotel and the city you are in," said Red Planet Chief Executive Officer, Tim Hansing. "We are always looking to add value to a guest's stay through our investment in technology at all times."

Mr Hansing added Red Planet would continue to expand in the Philippines as the country "deserved a reliable hotel product in the value sector that people can trust".

Since opening its first hotel in 2011, Red Planet has welcomed more than three million guests to its 24 hotels. The company has raised several rounds of capital from private investors and anticipates a future public listing in the region.

Red Planet's nine other hotels in the Philippines are in Makati Avenue, Aseana City, Ermita, Quezon City, Ortigas, Angeles City, Cebu, Cagayan de Oro and Davao.

Red Planet also owns and operates hotels in Indonesia, Japan, and Thailand.
