Hann, Korean firm to build new resorts in Clark

The Hann Group, owner and developer of Hann Resorts in the Philippines, is amplifying its presence north of Luzon as it announces a partnership with South Korea's POSCO Engineering and Construction Co. Ltd. for the upcoming multi-billion premier integrated resort projects in Clark — Hann Lux and Hann Reserve, according to a report by Manila Times.

Daesik Han, chairman and CEO of Hann Philippines Inc., announced on Wednesday, August 31, that the signed agreements will fast-track developments. 

"We are ecstatic to announce this partnership with a world-class company like POSCO E&C whose expertise and craftsmanship are recognized internationally. This collaboration is sure to fast-track our development plans for Clark and New Clark City with the rise of Hann Lux and Hann Reserve," said Han. 

Hann Lux, the next premier integrated resort development by the Hann Group, will be home to Sofitel Clark and Emblems Clark, which will offer guests convenient access to high-end fashion stores, French-inspired cafes, and convention facilities in Clark, Pampanga. 

Aside from the Sofitel and Emblems brands, Hann Lux will also feature a world-class casino, residences, and other commercial areas. 

Meanwhile, Hann Reserve in New Clark City, Tarlac, is set to be an ultra-luxe mountain resort destination that will see the opening of Banyan Tree Hotel and Angsana Hotel. 

Banyan Tree is an award-winning luxury hospitality brand that has pioneered the all-villa concept in hotel resorts. 

Designed as a sanctuary for the senses, it will offer pool villas and a tropical garden spa — a welcome respite for weary travelers. 

Intertwining local chic and a vibrant fun-filled atmosphere, Angsana Hotel offers an amazing destination getaway with its wide range of recreational activities that are perfect for families or groups of friends. 

Hann's frequent guests and loyal clients have a lot to look forward to in the next phase of Hann Reserve, including the Westin Hotel and The Luxury Collection by Marriott International. 

POSCO E&C proves to be more than a total construction company. With a portfolio that spans decades, it is committed to providing more safe, trusted, and innovative solutions to protect the values of its customers. It has comprehensively carried out a series of projects ranging from planning to design, construction, and test operations across the globe. 

Moving forward, POSCO E&C will now oversee the construction, design, and development of Hann Lux and Hann Reserve, both premium sub-brands under the master brand Hann Resorts. 

A match that is sure to be unmatched — this is how the projects between Hann and POSCO E&C will come to fruition in the coming years. 

United with the same vision that is to elevate the standards of integrated resort experience via exceptional structures, there is no stopping the Philippines from drawing more and more tourists towards a luxurious destination like no other where one can play and live boldly.
