Discovery Hospitality Corporation is a proud homegrown brand managing the Philippines' best-loved resorts - Discovery Shores Boracay and Club Paradise Palawan, also known as Discovery Boracay and Discovery Coron respectively. DHC also oversees the management of Discovery Suites and Discovery Primea, two of the Philippines' most iconic hotels, each celebrated for offering unparalleled experiences in the heart of the city. It opened two new properties: Manami Resort under its new brand called Signature Collection, and Discovery Samal, the first property to highlight the rebranded Discovery Resorts. From purely heading and operating these properties, DHC has trailblazed and expanded its horizons to more than just focusing on its own but also sharing its expertise from decades of experience to provide allied and shared services and property management with other businesses, all while continuing to lead its legacy onwards and upwards.
For Parreño, each award attributed to DHC serves as a reaffirmation of Discovery's goal of achieving excellence. “We take pride in the continuous recognition from prestigious award-giving bodies such as The World Business Outlook. These accolades not only inspire us but also serve as a reminder to consistently raise the standards in the hospitality field. Through continuous innovation, our aim is always to provide 'Service That’s All Heart' to each and every guest," added Parreño.
To DHC’s management team, these awards reflect their collective passion and dedication, as well as the exceptional leadership of Parreño and Townes. Every recognition, according to Parreño, “reflects the success of Discovery’s efforts and the unforgettable experience we impart on our guests.”
“Over the years, the definition of luxury travel hasn't been merely a destination, but now the shift has moved into creating memorable and authentic experiences. By valuing each guest, we ensure they relish every moment of their stay with us, which in turn produces unparalleled service,” Parreño concluded.
Discovery Hospitality Corporation continues to solidify its brand love and remarkable connections to its guests, business partners, and internal stakeholders.
