IHG Hotels & Resorts (IHG) has announced the return of InterContinental Hotels & Resorts to the Philippines in a franchise agreement with Hann Philippines Inc., an emerging leader in the local luxury integrated resort (IR) sector with its Hann Resorts brand.

InterContinental Clark

InterContinental Clark will sit at the heart of the 450-hectare luxury estate in New Clark City. The development will feature three 18-hole championship golf courses designed by Nicklaus Design, KJ Choi, and Sir Nick Faldo, along with the country’s only PGA-affiliated player development facilities. Hann Reserve will also include luxury residences, lifestyle commercial centres, an international school, and a 10-hectare public park. Construction will start on the 250-key property in 2027, ahead of it welcoming guests, including IHG One Rewards members, in 2031.

Statements

Chris Anklin, senior director, Development, IHG Hotels & Resorts said: “With its bustling megacities, natural wonders and warm and friendly hospitality, the Philippines is a beautiful country where IHG has a rich history of delivering great stays for guests in Manila, Cebu and Makati. The country has an ambition to become a regional tourism behemoth with rapid infrastructure development to promote ease of travel and strong growth potential. Hann Reserve represents one of the new waves of development growth in the market, which IHG is supporting. We are confident that InterContinental Clark will enhance its attractive mix of leisure, lifestyle and business offerings and we look forward to working alongside our partners to bring more of our much-loved brands to new and exciting locations across the country.”

Daesik Han, chairman and CEO, Hann Philippines Inc. said: “We are delighted to partner IHG to turn our vision for Hann Reserve into reality and return the InterContinental brand with its over 75 years of heritage back to the Philippines. I have always enjoyed my stays at InterContinental hotels, especially appreciating their unmatched heritage and history in luxury travel. The InterContinental brand will bring a fresh take to luxury at Hann Reserve, an ultraluxe mountain resort getaway, and I’m confident it will elevate New Clark City as a world-class leisure destination. We hope this is the first of many collaborations through which we leverage IHG’s world-class Luxury & Lifestyle portfolio and introduce new tourism concepts and stay experiences for all travellers together.”

InterContinental Clark will be a 15-minute drive from Clark International Airport and a two-hour drive from Manila. Facilities are set to include two restaurants and two bars, meeting spaces for 600 people, the brand’s signature Club InterContinental Lounge, a Health Club and Spa, swimming pool, Kids Club and a retail outlet.
