‘Solaire’ Sets the Bar High for Integrated Resorts in Manila

If Macau has "The Sands," Las Vegas has "Venetian" and Singapore has "Marina Bay Sands," the Philippines can now boast of a world-class resort casino complex called "Solaire," a French term meaning "the breeze from the sun," located at the Manila bay area, Mall of Asia Complex in Pasay City.

Solaire

While the Philippines is now an emerging prime travel and leisure destination in Asia, the government is committed to create a multi-billion dollar leisure and entertainment zone that will entice more tourists to visit the country.

The place is called “Entertainment City,” a multi-billion dollar project that spans 961,937 square meters at the bay area of Paranaque City plus 141,250 square meters at the Aseana Business Park and Mall of Asia Complex in Pasay City.

Four world-class integrated resort complexes are set to rise at this highly-anticipated entertainment district and each one has a minimum production cost of $1 billion to develop tourist attractions that will rival the best leisure hubs in the Asian region.

The first one to break ground is the 8.3 hectare five star integrated resort complex called “Solaire.” It’s a project of renowned Filipino businessman Enrique Razon in partnership with Global Gaming Asset Management (GGAM), the company which has played an integral role in the evolution of integrated resorts throughout the world and known for marvelous projects like “The Sands” in Macau and “Marina Bay Sands” in Singapore.

“Solaire” opened its doors to thousands of anticipating locals and tourists last March 16, 2013. Being one of those who witnessed the event, I must say that it was very successful. The architectural and interior components of the casino, the restaurants and the hotel are quite impressive. The design is cohesive, all of them complementing the Manila Bay vistas and the radiant sun, hence its name.
