Milestone brand debut
“Introducing our Canopy brand to the Philippines is a significant milestone, especially in such a vibrant junction in the heart of Makati,” said Maria Ariizumi, vice president, development, South East Asia, Hilton.
“Metro Manila is ripe for a fresh perspective on hospitality, and we believe Canopy’s lifestyle approach will resonate with both local and international guests.
