MANILA, Philippines - Property giant Ayala Land Inc. (ALI) is opening a chain of boutique hotels across the country under the Kukun brand, according to a top executive.

ALI president Antonino T. Aquino said the group is slated to build five boutique hotels this year in Davao, Cagayan de Oro, Bonifacio Global City, Quezon City and Alabang.

He said the Kukun brand, to be operated by Ayala Land Hotels & Resorts Corp., will cater to the growing number of both business travellers and tourists in key underserved markets of the country.

Targeted to be operational by the second quarter of 2012, the first boutique hotel will rise in Bonifacio Global City, offering a total of 180 rooms.

A second hotel is now under construction in Davao, within ALI’s Abreeza project.

The third one is located along C.M. Recto Avenue in Cagayan de Oro City, just across the Gaisano Mall near the Limketkai Center.

Ayala Hotels also operates Hotel Intercontinental in Makati and Marriott Hotel in Cebu City.
