History
Robinsons Hotels and Resorts is the largest hotel group in Philippines with 31 operating hotels and is the hospitality arm of RLC. Robinsons Land Corporation (RHR), the real estate arm of JG Summit Holdings, a business conglomerate established by Filipino-Chinese entrepreneur John Gokongwei Jr. It entered the hospitality industry in 2004 with the establishment of Robinsons Hotels and Resorts (RHR), its hospitality division. The company opened several luxury hotels in the country in partnership with various foreign hospitality brands, such as the Crowne Plaza Galleria and Holiday Inn Galleria, Dusit Thani Mactan Cebu, and The Westin Sonata Place Ortigas. As tourism in the Philippines continued to grow due to the increasing number of middle class travelers, RLC decided to tap into this hospitality market with the establishment of Summit Hotels and Resorts, its midscale hotel brand, and Go Hotels, its essential value hotel brand, in 2009. That year, Summit Hotels and Resorts opened its first hotel in Tagaytay, Cavite, the 108-room Summit Ridge Tagaytay.[1][2]
In June 2011, the company opened its second Summit hotel, the 210-room Summit Circle Hotel near Fuente Osmena Circle in Cebu City. The hotel was previously called the Cebu Midtown Hotel until it closed for renovations following a fire incident in the connecting shopping mall in April that year.[3][4]
On March 11, 2015, the company opened the 82-room Summit Hotel Magnolia within the Robinsons Magnolia shopping center in New Manila, Quezon City.[5]

In 2020, Summit Hotels and Resorts, along with its sister hotel brand Go Hotels, announced that it will convert some of its rooms in selected hotel branches into rental office space due to the low demand for accommodations and travel brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic in the Philippines.[12][13][14]
