New Marriott Hotel Manila appoints first GM

MANILA, Philippines - The much-anticipated opening of the latest addition to the Marriott International list of premium hotels this August will be spearheaded by the new Marriott Hotel Manila’s first general manager, Richard Martin Saul.

Having had at least 20 years of experience in the hotel industry, Saul’s last post was as general manager for JW Marriott Hotel in Jakarta. He holds a solid track record of generating turnaround results and growth in performance, earning him numerous Marriott International Lodging awards.

With a mission to make every business trip a pleasure and every vacation the trip of a lifetime, Saul points out that Marriott Hotel Manila is set to be the destination for fun, relaxation and enjoyment.

As the first hotel to open in the world-class tourism complex of Resorts World at Manila, Marriott Hotel Manila boasts of full-feature five-star accommodations and world-class service. With 342 exquisite rooms, spa and ballroom, the hotel lends an inviting air that exudes class and comfort.

The beautiful lobby, with spectacular views of the Villamor Golf Club’s fairways, showcases the kind of luxury that the hotel has to offer.

Also a significant part of the Marriott Hotel Manila experience are the appealing dining options it offers: the Marriott Café, an all-day-dining restaurant; the Cru Steakhouse, a specialty grill; and Velocity, an entertainment bar. Also on the same level is The Lounge, which is designed for relaxing whether as a place to socialize or to enjoy private time. 

The new Marriott Hotel Manila is ideally located in Resorts World at Manila in Newport City, right across the NAIA Terminal 3, offering splendid views of the Villamor Golf Club.

“We hope people will embrace Marriott Hotel Manila as a terrific venue for weddings, meetings, dining and entertainment and many other purposes,” says Saul. “We are proud to be popular and well-regarded by the business community, residents of Manila as well as foreign visitors.” 

Saul’s success comes from being involved and engaged as he oversees all aspects of the hotel’s operations. He is committed to constant nurturing, testing and training of the hotel’s associates to create a positive and delightful customer experience.
