The Philippines’s best bet to bring home the next Miss Universe crown, Chelsea Manalo is also awarded as ambassador of the country’s largest hotel operator, Megaworld Hotels and Resorts (MHR). 

After an epic evening of beauty and brains, Chelsea, representing Bulacan did not only emerge taking home the much-coveted crown but also Megaworld Hotels & Resorts’ Sampaguita: Woman of Substance award. “Just like the national flower, Chelsea embodies elegance, grace, and a captivating presence that leaves a lasting impression.” says Charlene Go-Co, MHR’s Head of Marketing Innovations. 

The reigning queen takes home Php 200,000 worth of stays from across MHR’s 13 hotels, 7 brands, and more than 8,500 room keys including those in the pipeline. Much like Chelsea, guests may choose to stay in any of MHR’s properties located in Boracay, Cebu, Manila, Iloilo, and Batangas where MHR is present. 

She also receives MHR’s signature Sampaguita Bouquet designed by Serge Igoñia, one of the Philippines’ most iconic floral designers known for his use of the country’s national flower. His bouquet masterpiece was made using nearly 6,000 Sampaguita buds commemorating MHR’s signature brand of service.

Stay at the Boracay Newcoast’s Belmont Hotel and enjoy the township’s exclusive stretch of powdery white sand beaches with panoramic views and a breathtaking sunrise. If you’re craving a party, the Savoy Hotel Boracay showcases the islands’ largest party pool and with rooms with a view of either the beach, lush greens, or water facilities. 

Savoy Hotel Mactan Newtown invites you to an adventure within one of the country’s historical islands with good food and exciting activities to fill your day. If you opt to chill and stay for business, book your stay at the Belmont Mactan located also within the area. Arrange a whole day at the exclusive Mactan Newtown Beach and enjoy your complimentary pass while you soak in the sun, sand, and sea.

Visit Iloilo and stay nowhere else but only at the Iloilo Business Park. Book your rooms at the Richmonde Hotel Iloilo and find yourself within arms-reach from everything you need and want to experience while in the City of Love. 

The moment your plane lands in Metro Manila you have the option to stay right across NAIA terminal 3 where you’ll conveniently find Belmont Hotel Manila waiting at the end of the Runway Manila footbridge. Savoy Hotel Manila also offers you a colorful and fun stay while at the metro. Get yourself a moment at the spa and enjoy their dining outlets. For a bit more thrill and character, go on a food adventure while staying at the Hotel Lucky Chinatown located in Binondo Manila.  You can also try something new and stay at one of the newest properties of MHR, the Kingsford Hotel Manila located at the Westside City of Parañaque.  If shopping is something you enjoy, stay at the Eastwood Richmonde Hotel located within the shopping district of Quezon City. Keep your eyes open for other options like Richmonde Hotel Ortigas to stay where business always meets pleasure. Lastly, you’ve got Twin Lakes Hotel in Batangas as your best option for a getaway not too far from the metro that boasts of an unobstructed view of Taal Lake. 

Soon, guests will also get to stay in the Philippines’ largest hotel, the Grand Westside Hotel located at the Westside City in Parañaque. The soon-to-open hotel boasts of 1,530 rooms with complete facilities perfect for leisure guests staying for a night or two in the metro.
