BIZ BUZZ: Finally, Four Seasons coming to PH

Fans of luxury hotel chain Four Seasons—who must be wondering why the hospitality brand has so far skipped the Philippine market —now need not fret.

We hear that Malaysian tycoon Ong Beng Seng, managing director of Singapore-listed Hotel Properties, which owns the Four Seasons in Singapore, and franchise holder of the Singapore Formula One Grand Prix, has finally taken an interest in the Philippines.

No less than the first couple has apparently convinced Ong to enter the Philippine market. Apparently, those F1 visits of President Marcos and first lady Liza Marcos have originated some deals.

Ong himself had already flown to the country to scout for possible locations, and we mean he’s not interested in just one.

Four Seasons is expected to break into Metro Manila’s hospitality scene as well as in some of the country’s top beach destinations, well-placed sources told Biz Buzz.

Now, that’s one great news to greet the new year.
