The travel and hospitality industry is fast evolving. Hotels have become more than just rooms and travelers expect a deeper immersion with the destinations they visit. SM Hotels & Conventions Corporation (SMHCC), a leading hospitality developer and management company in the Philippines, is the pioneer of the integrated destination model. Here, intrinsic pride naturally translates into the company’s signature warm and heartfelt service, which explains SMHCC’s loyal following of returning guests.

Building Integrated Destinations

SMHCC creates vibrant developments that bring together retail and convention centers, lifestyle and entertainment spaces, and modern accommodation in one single locale. This dynamic 360 approach fosters a thriving community connecting leisure visitors, business travelers and event organizers, a defining feature across all SMHCC properties. Guests can expect attentive teams, seamless event support, digital guest solutions, and easy access to shopping, dining, and entertainment.

Lanson Place Mall of Asia, Manila combines hotel rooms and serviced residences in the Mall of Asia complex, while Radisson Blu Cebu is strategically situated beside SM City Cebu supermall and near to the international port. Similarly, the three Park Inn by Radisson hotels in Bacolod, Clark and North EDSA are integrated into the districts’ key shopping, entertainment and commercial facilities.

Once completed, SMX Convention Center Seaside Cebu will be a crown jewel of SMHCC. This impressive development is set to become the Philippines’ largest convention center, significantly boosting the country’s capability and global appeal as a MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conferences and Events) powerhouse. The multi-purpose complex combines SM Seaside City Cebu shopping mall with world-class sports and entertainment venue SM Arena Seaside Cebu, all served by a dual-branded hotel development featuring Radisson and Park Inn by Radisson.

Sustainability, the Road to Net Zero

At SMHCC, sustainability isn’t a CSR project, it’s a guiding principle embedded in daily operations and a blueprint for future growth, leading the company towards its Road to Net Zero by 2040 goal.

Plate for the Planet actively minimizes food waste, while the Biodiesel Project converts used cooking oil into fuel. Behind the scenes, carefully measured energy conservation efforts deliver tangible results without sacrificing guest comfort. All these exemplary initiatives have earned SMHCC widespread international accolades, including the 2025 World Sustainable Travel & Hospitality Award for World’s Leading Sustainable Circular Economy.

The same dedication is applied on the cultural front too, with programs to preserve and celebrate local gastronomy, heritage and the creative industries. All social and environmental efforts are also designed to complement technological innovations, where digital solutions and smart infrastructures are thoughtfully implemented to enhance the guest experience from arrival to departure.

Ultimately, SMHCC’s efforts reflect the values of modern-day travel: seamless technology integration, cultural authenticity and care for the planet.

Rooted in Filipino Hospitality

Everything SMHCC does is deeply rooted in Filipino pride. The company’s vision extends beyond building and managing innovative hotels and convention centers. It is also committed to strengthening the Philippines’ appeal for both leisure and MICE travel, all through strategic partnerships with government agencies, tourism stakeholders and local communities.

With integrated properties spread across some of the country’s most vibrant locales, the company is an ideal ambassador of Filipino culture and heritage. Economic inclusivity is also key, with current and future developments well-placed to expand growth beyond Metro Manila and into key regional areas.

While the luxurious bayfront Conrad Manila remains one of SMHCC’s flagship properties, travelers can experience SMHCC’s shared commitment to thoughtful care in other destinations across the archipelago, from the heritage charm of Taal Vista Hotel in Tagaytay and the seaside Pico Sands Hotel in Batangas to the contemporary Park Inn by Radisson in Davao and Iloilo.

That same care commitment extends internally, too, as the company acknowledges that people are its most prized asset. The company’s commitment to develop and empower both its leadership and employees naturally translates into its warm, signature service. SMHCC was recently recognized by BusinessWorld as one of the Philippines’ Best Places to Work.

Leveraging its expertise in developing all-encompassing ecosystems that shape destinations and boost the nation’s economy, SMHCC is focused on expanding its portfolio with more industry-leading hotels and convention centers. All while retaining its core value of responsible tourism principles.
