Chroma Hospitality, the management company behind Crimson Hotels and Resorts, Quest Hotels and Resorts, Timberland Highlands Resort, and the newly launched Grafik Hotel Collection, celebrated its 10th anniversary, “Chroma at 10: A Decade of Brilliance,” held at the Crimson Grand Ballroom, Crimson Hotel Filinvest City Manila.
The milestone event coincided with the 70th anniversary of Filinvest Development Corporation, marking a significant year that celebrates both Filinvest’s enduring legacy and Chroma’s decade of hospitality excellence.
The evening gathered an esteemed roster of guests, including media partners, top clients, and executives from Filinvest Development Corporation and its subsidiaries. The celebration was made even more meaningful with the presence of Joseph Yap and Josephine Gotianun-Yap, vice chairperson of the Board of Filinvest Development Corporation, who joined the festivities to honor Chroma’s decade of growth, innovation, and Filipino pride.

One of the highlights of the evening was the presentation of the Circle of Brilliance Awards, recognizing Chroma’s most valued partners from the corporate, government, travel agency/wholesale, online travel agency, airline, and media segments. These awards symbolize Chroma’s deep appreciation for the partnerships that have been vital to its continued success across the years.
Another highlight of the evening was “The Next 10: Chroma in Focus”, a segment presented by James Montenegro, country manager of Chroma Hospitality. The presentation unveiled 10 exciting updates and plans for the company, including the much-anticipated Crimson Clark, the soon-to-open Grafik Pine House Baguio, and new culinary ventures that continue to expand Chroma’s creative portfolio.
“Ten years. Ten milestones. And countless stories that remind us why we do what we do,” James said. “Chroma was built on courage, and as we step into the next decade, that same courage will take us even further. I look forward to tackling our next decade with all of you.”
As Chroma looks toward the future, it continues to pursue growth through new destinations, inspired brands, and meaningful experiences that reflect the brilliance of Filipino hospitality for generations to come.
