She added that “this hotel really suits the world-class vibe of ArcoVia City, and will even delight future guests with an unimpeded view of the iconic Arco de Emperador.”

These include a swimming pool, kiddie pool, pool deck with lounge and seating areas, outdoor lounge and landscaped areas, kid’s club, wellness spa, wet and dry sauna, and fitness center. 

The hotel will also feature an Executive Lounge, that can be accessed exclusively by VIP guests where they can enjoy beverages and hors d’oeuvres throughout the day, as well as breakfast in the morning.

ArcoVia Hotel will have a business center with workstations for those who need to squeeze in a bit of "workcation,” a ballroom with pre-function area that can accommodate up to 300 individuals, two function rooms that can hold up to 80 people combined, a meeting room, and an outdoor events area.

The hotel will also have four food and beverage outlets including an all-day dining restaurant with both alfresco and private dining areas, Zabana Bar & Lounge, indoor pool bar with dining and lounge areas, and a specialty restaurant. 

To be managed and operated by Megaworld Hotels & Resorts, ArcoVia Hotel is scheduled for opening in 2029. It will be the 21st hotel property launched by Megaworld Hotels and Resorts, the country’s largest operator of homegrown hotel brands.
