HOTEL ESSENCIA The Biggest Hotel in Negros

Biggest 150-room hotel opens




Dumaguete hotel industry makes history with the soft opening of the biggest hotel, restaurant and function hall in this capital city and the entire province with its fully furnished rooms numbering l50 in eight floors.

HOTEL ESSENCIA is owned by Kingrein Hui and managed by his son, Kenneth, of Tops and Bottoms fame. Fully-Chinese ambience, the hotel has its initial 75 rooms now fully operational in three floors, plus a full floor of giant function rooms which are easily collapsible into three sets.

A full Chinese restaurant reportedly managed by Alex Roleda will also be open soon. A full spa and its entire works with Chinese methodologies from the mainland will also be operational.

Humble and unassuming owner Kingrein Hui, of full Chinese descent, admits this is his first venture in the hotel business as he has run Tops and Bottoms successfully for over a decade. He smiled when we asked him if he has some partners from Mainland China.

The full opening will be January next year, Hui said.
