ANGELES CITY – Luxurious amenities at affordable rates. But most important, family-centered services.
Thus, Doris Maniquis, a businesswoman from Zambales, defined her Prime Asia Hotel at the ground-breaking rites along Narciso Street in Barangay Malabanas here.
“No sinful short-times but whole some fun stays,” Maniquis said, underscoring the prayers and blessings at the hotel’s 890-square meter site presided by Rev. Fr. Rafael Zedec Paras of the Sto. Cristo del Perdon parish church.

At the ground floor, the lobby to consist of the front desk, elevator, rest rooms and housekeeping, a coffee shop and restaurant, the electrical room, driveway and parking area.
