History

Following the opening of the Novotel Manila hotel, Araneta Center Inc. announced in 2018, that a second hotel would be built at the Araneta Center (now Araneta City). The second hotel was touted to be "a lifestyle budget hotel" run by "a popular international brand".[2] The ceremonial groundbreaking for the Gateway Mall 2 including the adjacent Ibis Styles hotel took place in August 2018. The Ibis Styles hotel, like Novotel Manila is also a brand under AccorHotels under the Ibis Styles brand, with Megawide Construction Corporation serving as the general contractor of the project, along with the New Gateway Mall.[3]

On January 20, 2020, the hotel was officially topped off.[4] Soft opening of the hotel, which costed ₱1.5 billion to build, is scheduled in late 2020 with full operations projected by early 2021.[5]

The Hotel is part of the Gateway Square, consisting the two Gateway Malls, the Gateway Tower, the Novotel Manila Araneta City, the Smart Araneta Coliseum, and the Araneta Coliseum Parking Garage.[6]
