History
Go Hotels is wholly owned, developed, and operated by RLC, a Philippine real estate company. RLC was incorporated on June 4, 1980 and had its Initial Public Offering (IPO) on October 16, 1989. It is listed in the Makati Stock Exchange and Manila Stock Exchange. As of May 2013, RLC employs more than 1,800 employees. As of May 2013, RLC had a market capitalization of an estimated P100 billion. RLC's Hotels Division currently has a portfolio of 19 hotels, which include two deluxe hotels of international brands Crowne Plaza and Holiday Inn (Crowne Plaza Manila Galleria Philippines and Holiday Inn Galleria Manila), Summit Circle in Cebu City, Summit Ridge in Tagaytay City, Summit Hotel Magnolia in Quezon City, Summit Galleria in Cebu City, Summit Hotel Tacloban in Tacloban City and fourteen Go Hotels. Rather than obtaining a license from a foreign hotel chain, the owner of RLC, John Gokongwei, opted to expand into the budget hotel business by developing his own brand and system.
Branches
As of December 2018, there are 16 Go Hotels branches nationwide. All branches carry the hotel's green and yellow color scheme and some are located beside a Robinsons Mall. Other branches are located in prime areas of Metro Manila. Executive suites or deluxe rooms are not available in Go Hotels branches as all rooms are standard in size (average of 16 sqm.).
