Rediscover the space you deserve at Eastwood Richmonde Hotel

Tweet

Eastwood Richmonde, the only hotel in Eastwood City, the pioneering mixed-use township development of leading real estate company, Megaworld Corporation, gets an exciting makeover as it enters its 12th year of operations. Its transformation marks the first step towards the hotel’s extensive brand refresh program which aims to capture a wider scope of the corporate and leisure markets.

Notable in the redesign of the lobby and guest rooms is the use of a fresh and vibrant color palette that inspires stylish and modern living. The contemporary theme of the furnishings and the updated conveniences in the rooms and suites create a welcoming atmosphere for the new breed of young professionals and vacationers to enjoy. All TVs have been replaced with 42” smart TVs, bathtubs changed to shower cubicles, and the individual air conditioning units switched to the newest models. The thoughtful layout of the rooms, plush new carpeting, and unobstructed window views also provide guests with a more luxurious space.

Eastwood Richmonde Hotel General Manager and Megaworld Hotels & Resorts Cluster General Manager for NCR+ Jun Justo shares, “With the hotel’s renovation we hope to uphold our commitment, and that of our owning company, Megaworld Corporation, and managing company, Megaworld Hotels and Resorts, to extend only the best hotel experiences to all who step through our doors. We are confident that the invigorating new look of the hotel will not only delight our loyal clients but will also fascinate the younger market that we haven’t had the chance to tap before. Our guests can be assured that this renovation is just the beginning as Eastwood Richmonde continues to evolve to cater to their ever-changing needs.”

Guest rooms have transformed into a chic and soothing sanctuary with their modern design style and upgraded conveniences.

Eastwood Richmonde welcomes guests to a brighter, more vibrant lobby.         

Other areas that were refurbished include the guest floor hallways, function rooms, ballroom, Business Center, gym, pool, and all public areas. And in response to the demand of fur parents wanting to staycation with their fur babies, the hotel will soon have pet-friendly rooms as well.

Alice in Wonderland has captivated children all over the world for more than 150 years with its timeless and whimsical story that has been adapted into a number of different versions over the years. 

Alice created her world through beautiful things in her mind. She loves to discover stories in every living thing around her. Her story started under a huge tree in an English farmyard, young Alice was beginning to get very tired of sitting by her sister reading a book without pictures and conversations. To her it was boring, so she was considering, in her mind whether the pleasure of making a daisy-chain would be worth the trouble of getting up and picking the daisies. 

Afterwards, she decided to rest under the tree and went to sleep. She dreamed of a White Rabbit with pink eyes ran close by her. Burning with curiosity, she ran across the field after it, and was just in time to see it popped down a large rabbit-hole under the hedge. In a moment down went Alice after it, never once considering how in the world she was to get out again.

There begun her magical world of adventure in Wonderland. She met interesting creatures and characters like French Mouse, Duck, Dodo, Lory and Eaglet in the Pool of Tears; the Live Flowers, Caterpillar, The Grinning Cheshire Cat, the Cook, the Duchess, the Jolly Tweedle-Dee and Tweedle-Dum, the crazy Mad Hatter, March Hare and Dormouse. In the Hearts Kingdom, she had fun time hunting Easter eggs with the King and Queen of Hearts until she became the witness in the kingdom’s court of who stole the beautiful easter eggs, where she made the Queen so furious. And Alice finally thought how she could go back to her real world from all these wonders. 

Discover how Lewis Carroll’s literary work comes alive on stage featuring The CampArt Kid Actors (ages 7-15 tears old) of Kids Acts Philippines namely: Ella Gonzalez, Noel Comia Jr., Hyacinth Leonado, Allen Orolfo, Justin Orolfo, Angel Yu, Jewel Yu, Shanelle Comia, Woersha Calderon, Van Crisologo, Liam Crisologo, Nathan Flores, Ivan Jacosalem, Liza Marcos, Walline Calderon, Joshua Ang, Gab Hernandez, Princess Manaloto, Bella Engalla, and Raven Orolfo.

Marlisa Live In Manila!

MARLISA: A BREAKTHROUGH

Marlisa, (born Marlisa Ann Punzalan) is a breakthrough not only because of the reason you're thinking–that she's of Filipino descent. She has gone to break records in Australia, origin talk aside.

Jumpstarting her music career pre-X Factor, Marlisa immersed herself in the live music scene by joining competitions starting at age 9, earning her first win at Sydney Eisteddfod Performing Arts Challenge in 2009, and 3 more gold medals in 2013. At age 12, she has already done a solo concert at a live music venue at Sydney, The Basement, with the show dubbed as "Marlisa and Friends" with a setlist of cover songs. Deeply engaged to her roots, she had also been tagging along the Australian leg of concerts of Pinoy acts such as Sharon Cuneta, Jose Mari Chan and Aegis.

But what catapulted Marlisa's name into brighter limelight is that at only 15, she has wowed the judges of The X Factor Australia, garnering all four yeses upon audition. Marlisa eventually won the season's round of competition, becoming the first champion from the show's Under 25 category and ultimately the youngest winner of the entire series. With the aforementioned under her belt, she immediately signed a recording deal with Sony Music Australia. Tied in as the winner's single of the 6th season of The X Factor Australia, Marlisa recorded "Stand By You", written by Australia's premiere songwriters DNA Songs (Anthony Egizii and David Musumeci), serving as her music career's pilot single which debuted at number 2 on the ARIA (Australian Recording Industry Association) charts only 3 days after release, just behind Ed Sheeran's "Thinking Out Loud" and running ahead The Veronicas' "You Ruin Me" and Taylor Swift's "Shake It Off".A close race, as "Thinking Out Loud" tallied 29,157 copies sold while "Stand By You", with only half-a-week's worth of sales during the eligibility week, garnered an impressive 27,666.Eventually, the single nabbed a platinum certification for sales tallying more than 70,000 copies sold.

With the help of the song's inspirational message and Marlisa's very own vocal prowess, "Stand By You" paved the way to international mark when it also charted on New Zealand, Singapore and neighboring territories including the Philippines. Her self-titled debut album had also been released shortly afterwards, featuring the said single plus 10 re-recordings of her performances during the course of The X Factor, debuting at number 6 on the ARIA albums chart. Amazed by the performance of her records on charts, Marlisa gave thanks to her supporters: "Thanks to all as well, my album is doing very well at No. 2 on both the Australian artist singles chart and Australian artist albums chart!! Also no. 6 on the ARIA albums chart!! So happy you love my album."

Track list of the debut album, MARLISA:

1. Stand By You

2. Yesterday

3. All By Myself

4. Hopelessly Devoted To You

5. Let It Go

6. Nothing Else Matters

7. Try

8. Titanium

9. Somewhere Over The Rainbow

10. Girl On Fire

11. Impossible

MARLISA is now available in all record stores featuring the lead winner's single "Stand By You"! Get it on digital through iTunes via hyperurl.co/MarlisaSelfTitled or through Spinnr.ph!
