The Hann Reserve development will also include ultra-luxury residences, lifestyle commercial centres, an international school, and a 10ha public park.  

IHG Hotels & Resorts Development senior director Chris Anklin said: “Hann Reserve represents one of the new waves of development growth in the market, which IHG is supporting.

Construction of the 250-room property is scheduled to commence in 2027, with the hotel expected to open in 2031.

InterContinental Clark will include two restaurants, two bars, and meeting spaces capable of accommodating up to 600 people.

It will also feature the brand’s signature Club InterContinental Lounge, a health club and spa, a swimming pool, a kids club, and a retail outlet.

The hotel will be a 15-minute drive from Clark International Airport and a two-hour drive from Manila.

As of March 2024, IHG operated five hotels in the Philippines, with four under the Holiday Inn brand family.

The company is also planning to introduce new brands to the country, including InterContinental Hotels & Resorts and Six Senses.

Last month, IHG launched a range of “Intentional Flexibility” initiatives, including an app designed to ease jet lag for travellers.
