In its bid to make Iloilo City an investment haven in this part of the country, property giant Megaworld has strategically positioned its 72-hectare Iloilo Business Park (IBP) to be at the center of it all. Serving as the catalyst which triggered the investment boom the city is experiencing in the past few years, Megaworld has also set sights in making Iloilo City as an international MICE (meetings, incentive, conferences, exhibitions/events) destination. The iconic Iloilo Convention Center located in the heart of IBP will serve (and has served) as the city's MICE showcase hosting big events like the APEC Summit in 2015. Richmonde Hotel Iloilo is the first of two hotels Megaworld has launched to complement this "Iloilo City as MICE destination" thrust.
And set to open within the first half of 2018 is an iconic hotel brand recognized around the world - Marriott. It will be another first in the region (and the only two outside Metro Manila) brought by the property giant.

Under construction for the last two years, the 15-storey Marriott Courtyard Hotel will offer more than 300 rooms and it will be the first Marriott brand to open in Western Visayas (and among the only two outside Metro Manila). Its strategic location beside the iconic Iloilo Convention Center (together with Richmonde Hotel Iloilo) reinforces Megaworld's bid to further boost tourism in its various developments across the country.
