The COVID-19 pandemic continues to put a halt to people’s vacation plans. Domestic travel is definitely starting to pick up a bit, but multiple travel documents for each destination may still be required. A quick escape from the fast-paced urban jungle of Manila, without the hassle of preparing documents and taking mandatory COVID tests, is the most ideal way to relax and unwind for most. Driving south to destinations like Tagaytay is a popular choice, but if you want a more serene escape and less crowded spots, heading up north to Clark might just be perfect for you.
Located in the heart of the Philippine’s Central Luzon region, Clark is part of Pampanga province, bounded on the north by Tarlac and Nueva Ecija, Bulacan on the east, on the south by Bataan, and on the west by Zambales.
An emerging must-visit destination, it seldom makes the bucket list of vacationers in the past—and it’s high time it did. Clark has much to offer to travelers who want to experience a place that is both convenient and relaxing—you will never run into a shortage of exquisite surprises here. Its hotel and leisure industry also has the potential of making it an ideal location beyond business.
Hilton, one of the fastest-growing hospitality companies in the world, recently announced the opening of the 308-room Hilton Clark Sun Valley Resort. Owned by Donggwang Clark Corporation, the hotel is a short 12-minute drive from Clark International Airport and located close to the city’s main business hubs and entertainment attractions, such as Clark Museum, Aqua Planet and Nayong Pilipino.
With 308 Digital Key-enabled and spacious guest rooms, Hilton Clark Sun Valley Resort features a modern décor, Hilton’s signature Serenity bed and premium bath amenities.
Guests seeking relaxation have a variety of options, including a fitness center outfitted with the latest Precor® equipment and free weights, an outdoor pool, Kid’s Club, outdoor playground, walking and jogging path, and a soon-to-open wellness center.
Taking inspiration from Pampanga’s rich culinary history, the hotel offers exceptional dining experiences with its three dining outlets: Olive, XI, and Treat.
Hilton Clark Sun Valley Resort is also an ideal venue for meetings, weddings and social gatherings. The stylish and spacious pillarless Grand Ballroom, measuring 1,010 square meters, can accommodate up to 1,200 guests in theatre-style seating. In addition, there are seven flexible meeting rooms equipped with advanced audio-visual and technical facilities for events, ranging from business meetings to team building sessions.
Guests of Hilton Clark Sun Valley Resort can expect to be welcomed with an elevated standard of hygiene through the CleanStay program, Hilton’s industry-defining standard of cleanliness and disinfection. The hotel ensures the well-being of guests and Team Members without compromising hospitality.
There’s a little something for everyone as you make your way to this emerging destination up north. Whether it’s the lush greeneries you want or an exquisite dining experience, indulge in the best that Hilton Clark Sun Valley Resort has to offer.
