The Philippines has been one of the fastest growing Asian economies in the last 2 years, and is poised to be the fifth largest economy in Asia by 2050,” said Mr. Anthony Ross, Executive Vice President of Asia Pacific, Middle East, and Africa for Preferred Hotel Group “With so much potential, as well as a young and dynamic population to fuel strong growth in the capital and other major cities, we look forward to forging more alliances with like-minded independent hotel partners, and serving as an advocate to enhance the profile of independent hotel experiences in the country.”

Designed by renowned Japanese architect Kenzo Tange, Discovery Primea is home to 141 rooms and suites, which are situated on the first 17 floors of the tower. Alongside amenities like the fitness centre, beauty salon, swimming pool and a medical clinic, the Terazi Spa at the hotel features an authentic Turkish Bath in addition to a full service spa menu. Hotel guests will also be spoilt for choice with exciting dining options that include Tapenade, an all-day dining Mediterranean restaurant; The Gilarmi Lounge, a lobby lounge that serves Filipino-inspired bar fare and international draught beers; Flame, a fine dining restaurant serving contemporary continental cuisine; Edge, a garden lounge that serves craft cocktails with stunning views of the city skyline; and 1824, a Scotch & Cigar Bar.
