History

Apo View Hotel was founded in 1948 shortly after World War II as a 15-room lodging facility. It was a business venture by the Pamintuan family. The hotel had an expansion in 1978 so it can host 100 rooms but experienced a fire in 1988. The hotel was renovated and additional 46 rooms were added.[2]

The former owners of the hotel, Pamintuan Enterprises Inc. became involved in a legal dispute against lender Banco Filipino as well as a leadership crisis which saw Mariano Pamintuan Sr. ousted as chairman of the company by the rest of his family. This issue lasted until the death of the Pamintuan patriarch in the later part of the 1990s.[2]

The Supreme Court gave a favorable ruling to Pamintuan Enterprises on its case with its lender approving its rehabilitation plans for the hotel.[2] This led to the management of Apo View Hotel being transferred to Eurotel Hotel, a subsidiary of Global Comfort Group Corporation (GCGC) in 2014 and later to GCGC affiliate Icon Hotel in 2016.[1]

The Apo View Hotel had a relaunch on October 19, 2017. At the time of its relaunch the hotel had about 185 rooms. Three buildings for residential and commercial use will be built behind the hotel with the construction of the first tower to commence in 2018. By early 2018, it is projected that the hotel will have more than 200 rooms.[1]

gollark: I mean, ultimately, long after the last stars burn out, the fuel of giant stars of the bright, early universe we live in having long been exhausted, giving way to red dwarves which will themselves slowly fade to black, the matter in them having decayed (possibly), there will be nothing but slowly evaporating black holes. And eventually even these will vanish, leaving nothing but electromagnetic radiation being slowly redshifted, with no energy gradients able to sustain life.
gollark: Sure!
gollark: I mean, death won't happen forever.
gollark: Also taxes.
