Shangri-La at the Fort, Manila is set to open on March 1, 2016 at Bonifacio Global City, BGC, one of the fastest growing and vibrant developments in Metro Manila. Housed in a landmark mixed-use complex with Kerry Sports Manila, the city's largest banqueting space, extensive retail brands, Shangri-La Residences and premier Horizon Homes on the top floors, the 576-room hotel will feature five key lifestyle components - allowing guests to stay, relax, dine, shop, work out and play - in one of the tallest buildings in the Philippines.
"As a lifestyle complex, we look outwards, engaging and working with all the key components, not just the hotel," said John Rice, general manager of Shangri-La at the Fort, Manila. "BGC is known as the home of passionate minds, and our vision is to deliver contemporary luxury in one place, where people can collaborate, discover and explore on-trend facilities in a dynamic energetic location."
The LEED Gold-certified hotel features the 19,375-square-foot Grand Ballroom and 21 event spaces, which are inspired by a jewelry box and outfitted with Lasvit chandeliers that resemble a woman's necklace and wall panels that look like brooches.
There are 14 restaurants and bars housed in the complex, seven which are hotel managed and the other seven are run by independent operators. The hotel's dining and bar concepts include Samba, a South American restaurant and bar located poolside, Canton Road, a restaurant specializing in Cantonese and Huaiyang cuisines, Raging Bull Chophouse and Bar.
