Pan Pacific Hotels Group (PPHG) has signed a management agreement to manage Parkroyal Serviced Suites Manila Bay, a 169-key project scheduled to open in 1Q 2027.
This follows another recent serviced suites opening in Hanoi, further advancing the group’s expansion plans for the long-stay segment in the region.
According to official data, the Philippines recorded 14.7 million international arrivals in 2024, with South Korea, US, China, Japan, Australia, and Singapore among the top source markets.
Tourists also stay longer, an average of more than 11 nights – up from around nine nights pre-pandemic.
“Across Southeast Asia, we’re seeing a clear shift towards longer stays driven by traditional corporate travel, relocations, multi-generational trips, extended assignments, and project-based group stays that blur the lines between work and leisure,” observed Choe Peng Sum, CEO, PPHG.
As the group’s “strategic step in our long-stay roadmap,” Parkroyal Serviced Suites Manila Bay will share space within a two-tower mixed-use development comprising offices and retail space.
“We are shaping the long-stay concept around flexible spaces, intuitive technology and a sense of community, delivering the comforts of home with our signature hospitality and a clear commitment to sustainability, so that longer stays feel seamless,” said Choe.
