$6,000 Welcome Bonus
High-rollers and gaming aficionados have a new “millionaire’s playground” with the recent opening of the Hann Casino Resort, the country’s first integrated leisure complex, at the Clark Freeport Zone in Pampanga.
Owned and developed by Hann Philippines Inc. (HPI), it is Central Luzon’s first world-class luxury leisure complex which broke ground in February last year before the Covid-19 pandemic struck.
The sprawling property, a sub-brand of Hann Resorts, includes Marriott Hotel, Swissotel, and Widus Hotel & Casino, which will soon be converted into a Mercure brand.
“Despite the disruption caused by the pandemic, Hann’s vision of creating the ultimate playground remains the same. We have opened Clark’s first fully-integrated resort, and our guests can expect the finest in hospitality and entertainment,” says HPI Chairman and CEO Daesik Han.
Designed by Hong Kong-based Aedas Interiors HK and local firm Aidea, the new casino is triple the size of Widus Hotel’s old gaming area, and features hundreds of table games, 800 slot machines, as well as private rooms inside the H Club.
He said that the Casino offers gamers and guests a complete experience under its “Play Bold. Live Bold” philosophy to redefine gaming, entertainment, leisure, dining, hospitality, and lifestyle shopping in the Philippines.
For a gustatory treat, the gaming area has food and beverage outlets such as the Bar 20, which also serves as the live activity area, Nasi for Kapampangan and native dishes, the Marriott-operated Wu Xing Chinese fine dining restaurant, and and Spice Street Eats for Asian-style to-go hawker food.
For the safety of its guests, Hann Casino has enhanced its Covid-19 protocols to go beyond the government-mandated minimum health standards. Its air-conditioning in the gaming areas use Under Floor Air Distribution (UFAD) to ensure that air is continually cleaned of pollutants including tobacco smoke, volatile organic compounds, and airborne pathogens such as the SARS-CoV-2 virus which causes Covid-19.
UFAD is state-of-the-art technology of Forsspac, a Filipino engineering design and commissioning company focused on building services and systems.
Hann added that the second phase of the development will see the grand launch of Hann Casino and the first flagship franchise of Swissotel Clark, a five-star chain known for its intelligent design, precision craftsmanship, and environmental sustainability philosophy.
The Swiss global brand will also host top-notch international and local restaurants to further add diversity to Pampanga province as the country’s culinary capital.
Swissotel and Mercure are part of Accor, a world-leading augmented hospitality group with some 5,000 hotels and residences across 110 countries.
“The opening of Hann Casino and Swissotel Clark will help kickstart the country’s economy by providing much-needed jobs. By 2022, Hann Casino Resort is expected to create more than 1,000 jobs,” he added.
Meanwhile, Hann Lux Lifestyle Resort, the property group’s second premium sub-brand, will be launched in a few years at the New Clark City as part of its second phase development. It will include three 18-hole championship golf courses, Banyan Tree Hotel, Angsana Hotel, Westin Hotel, and The Luxury Collection by Marriott International.
Once completed, Hann Resorts will emerge as the ultimate luxury playground north of Manila.
