Araneta’s premier hotel celebrates first anniversaryIt felt like only yesterday when AccorHotels invited The Manila Times to tour their then newly-opened Novotel Manila Araneta Center, the French multi-national hotel group’s first Novotel brand in the country. Among those who stayed at Novotel were Culture Club and their enigmatic vocalist Boy George, Sergio Mendes, Engelbert Humperdinck and Brian McKnight. Novotel proudly shared The Manila Times that to date, the property has the largest inventory of rooms—401 units spread across 25 floors—in the city. Finally, as with any growing brand, Novotel announced during its anniversary celebration on October 20 that they will soon open two more properties in the country: Novotel Calatagan Beach Resort, a 9-storey hotel with 342 guest rooms and Novotel Suites Manila. But of course, its most special and treasured one will always be the first—the Novotel Araneta Center, which is eager to go into another year serving the Filipino market.
