IN CONJUNCTION with the opening of its sister hotel, 347-key Conrad Manila, SMX Convention Center Manila will offer convention and accommodation packages. The hotel will open in March or April.
Walid Wafik, SMX vice president – general manager, said: “We have been holding big exhibitions and events. Guests usually stay in other hotels. But soon, event organisations can (enjoy) exhibition and room packages with Conrad.”
With its own extensive meetings and banquet facilities, Conrad Manila is also hoping to complement SMX by becoming one of the caterers for the convention centre. The centre recently accredited 11 food caterers.
Wafik said that as Conrad will be connected by two footbridges to SMX, guests can enjoy the ease of access in getting to the convention centre and back.
SMX and Conrad Manila are part of SM Hotels & Convention Corp.
