When it opened its doors back in 2001, Astoria Plaza was one of the pioneers in offering the unique concept of having privately-owned residences located within a deluxe hotel and operating under one property name. This business model proved to be a huge success in the hospitality industry and now, 20 years later, there are a multitude of other hotel brands with the exact residential-hotel combination of services that also operate within the Ortigas Business District and in new bustling areas such as the Makati Central Business District and The Fort. In 2010, after nearly 10 years of mastering the art of rendering exceptional hospitality services and experiences to its hotel guests and residents, the company made the bold move to open Astoria Boracay, its first foray into resort development and operations. In 2012, after gaining 2 solid years of resort operation experience and expertise in the country’s top tourist destination, AHR opened Astoria Bohol, one of the most unique properties in its portfolio. Its design is a combination of Boholano tradition and local culture fused with contemporary touches, setting it apart from other properties in the province of Bohol and making it a unique selling aspect of the resort. It offers 8 spacious rooms housed in one large private villa that offers exclusivity at its finest. In December 2013, Astoria once again went out of its comfort zone and opened Chardonnay by Astoria, a visionary events center located off the then newly reinvented Capitol Commons in Ortigas. Since its opening, it has been one of the most popular venues for corporate launches, conferences, and wedding receptions. In 2014, AHR opened the 5th and 6th additions to its growing portfolio of chic, stylish, and design-driven properties and outlets. Astoria Palawan in San Rafael, Puerto Princesa, is the company’s most green and eco-conscious property to date. It kisses the shores of the majestic Sulu Sea and is a peaceful enclave of emerald virgin forests, grasslands, and mountain ranges. Under the legacy left behind by the famed Japanese chef Kimito Katagiri, Minami Saki by Astoria opened its doors in Astoria Plaza. It specializes in authentic and traditional Japanese cuisine, growing to become a favorite among professional restaurateurs and foodies alike. In 2015, Astoria opened the 7th and 8th additions to the brand: Astoria Greenbelt and Astoria Current. Astoria Greenbelt offers 48 rooms at the heart of Makati Central Business District, while Astoria Current features more than 200 rooms in what is known to be the action-packed activity center of the island of Boracay Station 3. The taglines for Astoria Hotels and Resorts encapsulate what the home-grown Philippine brand and each of its properties are now known for, both in the domestic and international markets: Luxe retreats. Incomparable hospitality. Spectacular destinations. Visit www.astoriahotelsandresorts.com to know more about each property and to get a feel of the deluxe ambience Astoria has to offer.
