History
The plans for the development of a 400-room business hotel within the Araneta City was laid out as early as 2000, as part the Araneta Center Master Plan. The plans were finalized within early 2008, before announcing the launch of the hotel in July 2008. In December 2008, the Araneta Group, through Araneta Center Hotel, Inc., announced their joint venture partnership project with AccorHotels in a press conference held within Aurora Tower. After 4 years of negotiations and design changes, the hotel was officially launched in February 2012 with a ceremonial lowering of a time capsule, and presented a presentation of the hotel's features, interiors and amenities, which is touted by the Araneta Group as the “crown jewel” for the complex's redevelopment project.
The cost for the construction of the hotel was around ₱3 billion and was topped off on July 29, 2014. It was initially planned to open partially by the end of 2014, and was later moved on early 2015 that the hotel will start accepting guests.
