Camp John Hay Suites unveiled

Several months following the start of its construction, work on the Camp John Hay Suites has been momentous and substantial. Keen investors will be excited to know that while the lobby section, porte cochere, 19th Tee Restaurant and parking bay are all set to be completed by the end of the year, 92 units have now been programmed to be fully operational not later than the first quarter of 2004.

Te 278-unit Suites will rise on the former site of the famed 19th Tee Restaurant, which incidentally is being revived to re-establish a lot of good ol’ memories in the past. The setting affords a splendid view of the Jack Nicklaus-designed 18 hole, par-69 Camp John Hay championship golf course and the majestic Cordillera range.

Designed by Recio & Casas Architects, the Suites blends colonial American and Cordillera influences, creating a look that is warm and elegant. It is a four-storey structure that consists of a studio-type one-bedroom and two-bedroom units.

Similar to the Camp John Hay Manor Hotel, with nearly 100 additional units to its crown, the Suites will also offer the modern conveniences of a world-class hotel. Further amenities will include a music lounge with a cozy piano bar situated at the lobby area, fine dining restaurants, a fully-equipped fitness center, expert novelty shops, plus more.

The Camp John Hay Suites is expected to boost the city’s thrust as a convention destination owing the site’s conducive and refreshingly cool and breezy climate coupled with the fresh scent of a preserved lush pine forest that’s distinctly Camp John Hay.

Camp John Hay Leisure Corp. who is concurrently operating the CJH Manor Hotel, Golf Club, and the Manila Southwoods Manor, will manage the Camp John Suites. It will be exclusively marketed by the Fil-Estate Group of Marketing Companies.

According to Shean Bedi, Senior Vice-President for Marketing, and Sales of the Camp John Hay Development Corp. (CJHDevCo), "Investing in the Suites proves wise based on its easy payment plans that offer down payments for as low as 20 percent with the remaining balance payable up to three years at zero interest. Manor Hotel unit owners have in fact, started to reap the fruits of their investment through large net income shares accredited to hotel operations and generated by high occupancy levels.

The lean season still finds the Manor occupancy level high. Indeed, Camp John Hay is a destination for all seasons as it is fast becoming a complete "village" for starters, where the family can enjoy horseback riding in the forest, traditional and affordable shopping at the Mile-Hi Center, explore the fascinating world of butterflies at the butterfly sanctuary as well as commune with mother nature and meditate at the Eco-trail.
