Its Philippine properties are known for upscale accommodation, restaurants, meeting facilities and resort experiences, supported by the group’s Asian-inspired approach to warm, personalized service.

Depending on the property, employees may receive service charge, meals, uniform, insurance, discounts, training and career opportunities within the wider group.

The Philippines is an archipelago with strong opportunities in hotels, resorts, restaurants, events, tourism and business services, particularly in Manila, Cebu, Boracay, Palawan and other major destinations. Filipino workplace culture is generally friendly, relationship-focused and respectful, with English widely used in hospitality. Lifestyle varies from busy urban living to relaxed coastal communities; costs are usually lower than in many international cities, although Manila and resort areas can be expensive. The country offers beaches, diving, mountains, festivals and diverse regional cuisine. Foreign employees normally need an employer-sponsored Alien Employment Permit and an appropriate work visa, commonly a 9(g) pre-arranged employee visa; working on a tourist status is not permitted. Candidates should confirm sponsorship, accommodation, tax, healthcare, transport and relocation support with Shangri-La before accepting an offer.
