A new luxury property will soon rise in Quezon City as Bloomberry Resorts Corp. (BRC), owner and operator of Solaire Resort Entertainment City in Parañaque, will open its second integrated resort in late May of this year.
At 1.5 hectares, Solaire Resort North is a USD 1-billion investment and is said to be the first of its kind in the city. The 38-floor property is designed by Aedas and Casas+Architects, with Habitus Design Group behind its contemporary interiors. It promises five-star facilities and amenities with 536 guest rooms and suites, 2,669 electronic gaming machines, and 163 tables across four casino levels.
Solaire Resort North will also have signature restaurants from its parent property (Finestra Italian Steakhouse, Yakumi, and Red Lantern) as well as casual dining options (featuring regional Filipino, Asian, and international flavors) and bars and lounges offering a wide selection of spirits and cocktails.
Other facilities include a spa, saunas, plunge pools, a gym, a kids' area, and event venues. The resort also takes pride in its curated art program and display featuring works by celebrated local and international artists.
"From a decade ago when we opened Solaire Resort Entertainment City, it has always been our mission to provide a fresh yet indulgent brand of luxury that has not been experienced in the Philippines before," BRC chairman and chief executive officer Enrique Razon Jr. said in a statement sent to ANCX. "With Solaire Resort North, we uphold the same mission in the hope that the property's presence and operation will support Quezon City's endeavors to enhance and promote tourism, generate employment for Filipinos, and further attract opportunities for economic and social investments."
"At the same time, we anticipate that our presence in Quezon City will positively impact our growth, widen our market footprint, and reinforce our brand's strength," he added.
Thomas Arasi, president and chief operating officer of BRC, Solaire Resort Entertainment City, and Solaire Resort North, for his part said they are looking forward to bringing their signature experience to a larger market.
"Quezon City is a highly urbanized city with a population largely comprised of locals with a wide range of demographic interests. We saw an opportunity to provide more exclusive experiences not just to our existing northern clientele but to a larger untapped market," he said.
