Go Hotels is a chain of budget hotels in the Philippines. It is the budget hotel brand of the Gokongwei family’s Robinsons Land Corporation (RLC), which also operates Holiday Inn and Crowne Plaza. It opened its first branch in 2010 in Robinsons Cybergate, Mandaluyong City, Metro Manila. Thirteen more branches in the Philippines have opened since then: Bacolod and Dumaguete (both in Negros), Butuan (Agusan del Norte), Ortigas Center and Otis-Manila (Metro Manila), Iloilo, Puerto Princesa (Palawan), Tacloban (Leyte), Lannang-Davao, Manila Airport Road (Metro Manila), North Edsa-Quezon City (Metro Manila), Cubao-Quezon City (Metro Manila), and Ermita-Manila (Metro Manila). Soon, branches in Iligan, Timog-Quezon City, Naga, and Tuguegarao.
Go Hotels is wholly owned, developed, and operated by RLC, a Philippine real estate company.[citation needed] RLC was incorporated in June 4, 1980 and had its Initial Public Offering (IPO) on October 16, 1989. It is listed in the Makati Stock Exchange and Manila Stock Exchange. As of May 2013, RLC employs more than 1,800 employees. As of May 2013, RLC had a market capitalization of an estimated P100 billion. RLC’s Hotels Division currently has a portfolio of 19 hotels, which include two deluxe hotels of international brands Crowne Plaza and Holiday Inn (Crowne Plaza Manila Galleria Philippines and Holiday Inn Galleria Manila), Summit Circle in Cebu City, Summit Ridge in Tagaytay City, Summit Hotel Magnolia in Quezon City and fourteen Go Hotels. Rather than obtaining a license from a foreign hotel chain, the owner of RLC, John Gokongwei, opted to expand into the budget hotel business by developing his own brand and system.
As of September 2017, there is a total of fourteen Go Hotels branches nationwide. All branches carry the hotel’s green and yellow color scheme and some are located beside a Robinsons Mall. Other branches are located in prime areas of Metro Manila. Executive suites or deluxe rooms are not available in Go Hotels branches as all rooms are standard in size (average of 16 sqm.).
