"With regards to the number of rooms, in (Microtel) Mall of Asia, we’re adding 100. In terms of the franchises that we have, I think (Tryp) Samal will be about another 100 rooms, while Tryp Bacolod will have about 150," PHINMA Corp. Investor Relations Officer Kara A. Albert told a media briefing on Tuesday.

The 150-room TRYP by Wyndham Hotel will be located within Saludad, PHINMA’s 21-hectare mixed-use development in Bacolod City. The company is set to break ground for the hotel in the coming months.

TRYP by Wyndham, a joint project by PHINMA Microtel Hotels and Damosa Land, Inc. (DLI), is a six-storey hotel along the coast of Samal Island, Davao del Norte.

Construction of the 100-room hotel is slated for completion by 2028, DLI said earlier.

Meanwhile, Microtel by Wyndham Mall of Asia, which opened in 2010, serves business and leisure visitors in the Bay Area.
