Jinjiang Inn brand from China opens in the Philippines

Jinjiang Inn, the first franchised Chinese hotel brand to operate in the Philippines under the Hotel of Asia Inc. group. Hotel of Asia is envisioned to have a total of 5,000-room portfolio by 2020 under different hotel brands such as Jinjiang Inn & Hotel 101.

Jinjiang Inn - Ortigas' Business Suite

The first Jinjiang Inn brand opens in the Philippines with 95 rooms in Jinjiang Inn – Ortigas, and 59 rooms in Jinjiang Inn – Makati. Jinjiang Inn will operate in the Philippines as a three-star business boutique hotel, offering value for money accommodations, focused on conveniences that will cater to the real needs of fast paced travelers today.

Jinjiang Inn - Makati's Deluxe Suite

Strategically located at main business centers, Jinjiang Inn – Ortigas is conveniently located at San Miguel Avenue corner Lourdes Drive in Ortigas Center, Pasig City, while Jinjiang Inn – Makati is accessibly situated at A. Arnaiz Avenue, San Lorenzo Complex, Makati City. Its location in thriving and vibrant financial and business districts provide close proximity to business hubs, shopping malls, and dining options.

Pillars of Conveniences

Jinjiang Inn is positioned to feature a strong housekeeping brand that is mindful of guests’ convenience. As the facilities are simple and straightforward, addressing the basic needs of the traveler, the hotel’s housekeeping makes sure that each room is comfortable and the guests pleased about their whole stay. This Jinjiang Inn brand of housekeeping will be felt through the quiet hands that work behind the scenes.

Jinjiang Inn - Ortigas' Triple Room

Another first in the Philippines, and similarly a conscious effort to provide convenience to its guests, Jinjiang Inn offers its in-room minibar at a reasonable price. Each product is priced exactly or around as much as it would be in the local convenient stores, for example, a can of Coca-Cola is priced at Php 27.00, Oishi potato chips cost Php 24.00, while a can of San Miguel Pale Pilsen is Php 43.00.

Moreover, Jinjiang Inn values connectivity as something integral and crucial to every businessman and traveler alike, as a necessity to communicate with their businesses and also their loved ones. Jinjiang Inn will be investing in providing strong Wi-Fi connection to its guests, in both the lobby and in every guest room. The hotel understands the need to be online, as one of the conveniences the modern traveler needs. Every traveler will find strong Wi-Fi access in every Jinjiang Inn.

Another strong suite of the Jinjiang Inn brand is the openness and promptness of communication lines of the hotel to and from its clients.

Guests often get disappointed or complain because of slow replies through hotels’ social media networks, like Facebook. Jinjiang Inn understands the needs of every traveler and guest, who are always mobile and on the go. 

This is why another convenience Jinjiang Inn offers is accessibility with its guests through the website, http://www.jinjianginn.ph/, through major online travel agents, or through social media networks. With Jinjiang Inn’s presence both online and offline, guests can reach any Jinjiang Inn at ease, book a stay, or join a conversation.

Putting Its Mark in Philippine Tourism

Jinjiang Inn traces its roots from the largest hospitality conglomerate in China, and the 9th largest hotel chain in the world – Jin Jiang Hotels. Through the newest Filipino-owned hotel and real estate development group in the Philippines, Hotel of Asia, Inc., Jinjiang Inn comes to the Philippines, attracting both local and international business travelers, especially those coming from China.

Hotel of Asia, and its subsidiaries, secured the master franchise to operate and franchise the popular Chinese hotel brand Jinjiang Inn in the Philippines. As visitor arrivals from China continue to grow and the Philippine tourism market projected to develop exponentially, Hotel of Asia is geared to put up more Jinjiang Inns in key cities in the country, after the opening of its first two hotel in the Philippines.

The Jinjiang Brand

Jin Jiang Hotels established the Jinjiang Inn brand in 1996, following the demand of a value-oriented fast paced traveler in China. Since then the brand built its position as the largest affordable hotel chain in the country, with premium on location, customer service and accessibility – a vision similar to what Jinjiang Inn in the Philippines is offering to the market.

In 2014, Jinjiang Inn received international recognition as one of the Top 11 hotel brands in the world to have achieved the highest guest satisfaction. Jinjiang Inn brings years of experience in the tourism industry and its dedication in providing its guests with value and convenience to the well-established brand of Filipino hospitality.

Jinjiang Inn in the Philippines will be a notch higher than its counterpart in China, as it provides guests with a full-serviced 3-star business boutique accommodations, with comfort and convenience in mind in all its hotels strategically located all over the Philippines.

Hotel of Asia Inc. (HOA), through its subsidiary, Hotel 101 Management Corporation, manages and operates the Jinjaing Inn hotel brand in the Philippines. Similarly, it also operates the 194-room Injap TowerHotel located in Diversion Road, Mandurriao, Iloilo City, and the newest and upcoming 518-room Hotel 101 – Manila located at EDSA Extension, Mall of Asia Complex in Pasay City.

Beyond the Philippines, first time in China

I was on the last Cebu Pacific flight bound for Shanghai last 18th of January. It was my first out of the Philippines trip, and honestly, I was very excited to be traveling, and starting to explore the world. It's about time that I do. With a luggage, a hand carry bag, stories from friends and family, and no expectations (well, maybe a little), I was all set and ready and see true the "Beyond" part of my blog, The Philippines and Beyond.

We were greeted with light snow the night/morning we arrived in Shanghai. Unfortunately, I was just adjusting and settling in, thus, I was not able to take shots of the surroundings. The morning after was different. This was the sight that greeted us the morning after our first day in China. Thick snow. After that, I vowed never to wish for snow again. Hahaha. Experiencing it once is enough :)

We checked in Motel 168 (which should merit a single post of its own); we walked around and ate at the convenient store, before settling in our room for the night. I was praying for snow. I was confident that it will snow for me, at least once during our entire stay in China, so that I would be able to experience it for the first time. It was fortunate that my wish was granted.

The photos below were taken along Nangjing Road (East Nangjing), the main shopping street of Shanghai, China, and is one of the world's busiest shopping streets; and eventually, Zhongshan Road, Huangpu River (a branch of the lower reaches of the Yangtze River) and the Bund in Huangpu District, a former Shanghai International settlement, now one of the most famous tourist attractions in Shanghai.

I guess this starts my blog posts about my first out of the Philippines trip, first China trip, and a lot more firsts. I will try to let you see the beauty I saw in China.

China was awesome! Besides it being the land of my ancestors, I think we, Filipinos, have a lot to learn from the Chinese. My China trip left a big mark, and it actually made me yearn for MORE. Honestly, I want to go back. I don't know when, but I am anxious to be back and see more of what the country has to offer. The Philippines is a great nation, but we must go beyond our own borders, and share our experiences, that's how we learn and grow as people.

All photos were taken with the Sony Nex-5, except for the photo with me in it. Photo credits go to Yuri of Lost Tsinelas. Check out "Having quick lunch at Mojo Cafe (East Nanjing road)". :)

Welcome to Beijing!

This song really stuck in my mind after I heard it the first time last week from Dee. I kept on singing this since then. I think this encapsulates the theme of the Beijing Olympics 2008. Here's an MTV of the song, which I got from YouTube. I also found some English lyrics translation online. Go Philippine Team! Go Philippines! :)



"Welcome to Beijing "

Another morning is here, and a breath of fresh air comes with it
We will be friends forever, sticking together like fragrance of green tea
You will find my door open for you at all times,
and I’ll be waiting for you with my arms open
You’ll get to know me much better once you hugged me,
and I promise you will love it here

Please be my guest no matter whether you’re local or from abroad
You are here and you are a friend, and as a friend we welcome you
I want to grow green plants that I will plant in the soil
and will show you our legends so you leave with good memories

You are all my guests, both strangers and friends
so please make yourself feel at home
There is always a lot to talk about even if we meet often

Welcome to Beijing, we will show you a place you haven’t yet seen
Charming of Beijing is full of life
Come to Beijing, we can breathe fresh air in the sunshine together
And we both will leave our mark in this yellow soil

My door will always be open and welcoming to the world
The days of the past are welcoming new day with a youthful smile
We are all friends, please come in and make yourself at home
I am waiting for you here with a smile on my face

Welcome to Beijing, may this music touch your soul
Let’s work together and go over and beyond
Welcome to Beijing, to have a dream is great
If you remain brave, the miracles will happen
