Tourism hospitality with a twist

Boutique property developer Keyland Corp. is in the final phase of preparations to officially open Alino New Manila, a four-star, 20-storey lifestyle hotel along E. Rodriguez Sr. Avenue in Quezon City.

- 

With Alino, Keyland marks its first foray into the hospitality business under its newly established Alino Hotels brand, expanding a portfolio long associated with residential and office developments.

Keyland’s residential developments are located in Makati, Filinvest City in Alabang, Las Piñas and Lips City.

It likewise has office projects in Makati, Greenhills, Alabang and in Las Piñas City.

In a pre-opening press conference and mini tour of the soon to open hotel, Keyland Corp. executive director for hospitality Arthur Gindap admitted that because of its proximity to St. Luke’s Medical Center QC, which is just across the the street from Alino, the hotel hopes to attract families of patients confined or seeking treatment at SLMC-QC.

SLMC-QC continues to expand even as it has also put in place plans to build a larger and more modern facility in ASEANA City in Parañaque.

Gindap said that Keyland has a builtin synergy with SLMC because Keyland’s chairman and president, Jose Ma. Montinola, is also a board member of SLMC-Global City in Taguig.

Thus, Keyland was aware of the popularity of SLMC-Global City’s deluxe and executive private suite rooms where families of confined patients prefer to keep their sick relatives company.

They had observed that since SLMC Global City’s opening, the suites are always in demand.

As such, with SLMC’s clients in mind, some of the 128 rooms that Alino has designed are for families who may be seeking regular or long-term treatment at the nearby hospital.

A dedicated health care room equipped with a HEPA air purifier and hospital grade cleaning solutions will be available to accommodate families of patients confined at St. Luke’s who require a more sanitized environment.
