CLARK FREEPORT – Play Bold. Live Bold. A millionaire’s playground brought to life.
The blurb is all too real as the Hann Casino Resort – the first world-class, luxurious fully integrated resort in Central Luzon – opened Wednesday, ushering in international and Filipino luxury brands here and far beyond.
Featured in the all-new lifestyle resort are Hann Casino, Clark Marriott, Swissotel Clark, and, in a few years, Mercure Hotel. Hann Casino Resort, the first premium sub-brand under the master brand Hann Resorts, will raise to luxe levels the Philippines’ gaming, entertainment, leisure, dining, hospitality, and shopping experience.
“Despite the undeniable disruption that the pandemic has caused, Hann’s vision of creating the ultimate playground in Clark remains true and the same. We are set to open Clark’s first fully integrated resort, and our guests can expect only the finest in hospitality and entertainment,” said Daesik Han, chairman and CEO of Hann Philippines Inc. (HPI).

Wednesday’s soft opening of the Hann Casino Resort is only the first phase of the unveiling of the integrated resort, with Swissotel Clark coming soon.
Hann Casino is triple the size of the previous gaming area in Widus Hotel & Casino, featuring hundreds of table games and over 800 slot machines.
The second phase will see the grand launch of Hann Casino and the first flagship franchise of Swissotel Clark, a five-star international brand well-renowned for its intelligent design, quality craftsmanship, and mindful approach to sustainability. Swissotel Clark will also usher in top-notch international and local cuisines like no other.
“The soft opening of Hann Casino and Swissotel Clark will help kickstart the country’s economy by providing much-needed jobs to Filipinos. By 2022, Hann Casino Resort is expected to employ more than 1,000 Filipinos,” Han said.
