Best Western Plus Metro Clark sets a new standard for hospitality with hi-tech smart rooms

Published Mar 26, 2023 12:07 am
Best Western Plus Metro Clark officially opened its doors to the public and is quickly gaining a reputation as the must-visit hotel north of Manila. The hotel is a leap from the previous 3-star Best Western Metro Clark, with a 4-star rating and 14 stories of luxury rooms and amenities suitable for business and leisure. The hotel complex boasts 186 luxurious rooms with the latest smart room technology that features advanced automation and intuitive controls for everything from lighting and temperature to entertainment and, soon, even room service. One of the exciting features of smart rooms is the ability to control everything from a single device. Each room has two tablet-like control panels that can be used to manage all aspects of the room. This includes the lighting, temperature, and entertainment, making it easy for guests to customize their experience to their liking. The panel also provides access to a range of entertainment options, including TV shows and music. More options will be added in the future where guests can choose from various streaming services, such as Netflix and Spotify, or connect their own devices to the room's high-speed Wi-Fi provided by Converge.
In addition to the smart room technology, the hotel also features other amenities that cater to guests' needs. Four specialty restaurants are on-site: the Namari Japanese Bistro, Cactus Jack Smokehouse, Jack's Pool Bar, and The Legend Hong Kong Seafood Restaurant. Each restaurant offers a unique dining experience, from Japanese treats to international favorites and authentic Cantonese cuisine. For those who prefer a more laid-back atmosphere, Cafe Sebastian is the perfect place to sit and enjoy a cup of coffee or a light treat. And if guests need to work, the hotel has a fully equipped business center and a range of meeting and conference rooms that can accommodate events of all sizes. The hotel's high-speed fiber internet provided by Converge and spacious multi-layer and open parking add to the convenience of the hotel, making it easy for guests to stay connected and get around. The hotel also offers top-rate customer service, ensuring guests feel welcome and comfortable throughout their stay. As part of an international brand, Best Western Plus Metro Clark provides exclusive perks and discounts at all local and international Best Western hotels and resorts with the award-winning loyalty program, Best Western Rewards. This program rewards guests for their loyalty and offers a range of benefits, including room upgrades and free nights. The opening of Best Western Plus Metro Clark comes at a time when the travel and tourism industry is beginning to recover from the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. The hotel's emphasis on hi-tech smart rooms and amenities that cater to guests' needs will surely be a draw for travelers looking for a luxurious and comfortable stay. Mr. Jack Uy, CEO and Chairman of Savers Group Holdings Inc., said that in addition to the hotel's high-tech smart rooms and luxurious amenities, Best Western Plus Metro Clark is also committed to sustainability and environmental responsibility. The hotel is LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) compliant ready, which means it has been designed and constructed to meet the stringent standards for sustainable building practices. Mr. Uy proudly shared that his sons Jansen and Justin and their teams of young people are the brains behind the decision why the hotel has incorporated a range of sustainability features into its design, such as energy-efficient lighting, eco-friendly HVAC technology, power-efficient elevator system, and the use of sustainable materials. The hotel also has implemented a waste strategy program to minimize its environmental impact. "While BWPMC is currently LEED compliant ready, the hotel is just waiting for the final steps to make it a LEED certified hotel." Says Jack Uy. "Achieving LEED certification will be a valuable accomplishment for Best Western Plus Metro Clark, demonstrating the hotel's commitment to sustainability and environmental responsibility," added Uy. The LEED certification will also be a useful selling point for environmentally-conscious guests seeking sustainable travel options. The opening of Best Western Plus Metro Clark is a welcome addition to the hospitality scene in the country. The hotel's hi-tech smart rooms, range of amenities, commitment to sustainability, and environmental responsibility are just some of the reasons why it is the must-visit and must-experience hotel north of Manila.
