Shangri-La Group is a leading luxury hospitality company founded in Hong Kong, with hotels, resorts, and residences across Asia, the Middle East, Europe, North America, and other international destinations. The group is known for refined service, strong Asian hospitality values, and properties located in major cities and resort destinations. In the Philippines, Shangri-La operates prominent hotels and resorts, including Shangri-La The Fort in Manila, Edsa Shangri-La, Mactan Resort & Spa, and Boracay resort operations. The company employs people across hotel operations, food and beverage, finance, engineering, guest services, sales, and procurement. Employees are generally expected to maintain high service standards, work collaboratively, follow professional procedures, and contribute to a welcoming experience for guests, colleagues, and business partners.
The Philippines offers hospitality and procurement opportunities in Manila, Cebu, Boracay, Palawan, and other resort areas. Hotels regularly recruit purchasing associates, buyers, supply-chain staff, front-office employees, chefs, service workers, and supervisors. Filipino culture is friendly, family-oriented, and community-minded, with English widely used in workplaces. Lifestyle varies from busy urban living in Manila to a slower, beach-centered routine on islands such as Boracay, Cebu, and Palawan. Living costs depend on location; resort islands may have higher rents and seasonal expenses. Foreign workers normally need an employer-sponsored work permit and an appropriate visa, while Filipino citizens can relocate domestically with standard identification and employment documents. Before moving, candidates should confirm accommodation, transport, medical coverage, contract terms, and whether the employer provides relocation assistance. Typhoon seasons and regional transport limitations should also be considered.
