About the employer

Shangri-La Hotels and Resorts is a Hong Kong-based luxury hospitality group operating hotels, resorts and residences across Asia, the Middle East, Europe, North America and other international destinations. The company is known for its Asian-inspired service culture, premium accommodation, restaurants, wellness facilities and event services. In the Philippines, Shangri-La operates prominent properties including Shangri-La The Fort in Manila, Edsa Shangri-La, Mactan Resort and Spa, and Shangri-La Boracay, depending on current operations and vacancies. Its employees typically work in a multicultural environment focused on personalized guest service, operational excellence and strong brand standards. Marketing roles may support hotel positioning, digital communications, promotions, public relations, partnerships and revenue-generating campaigns. Benefits can vary by property and may include service charge, meals, uniforms, training, staff discounts and other company-provided benefits.

Working in Philippines

The Philippines offers hospitality, tourism, marketing and customer-service opportunities across Metro Manila, Cebu, Boracay, Palawan and other resort destinations. Workplaces are generally welcoming and relationship-oriented, with English widely used in business and hotels. Filipino culture values warmth, courtesy, family, festivals and community, while island living often includes beaches, outdoor activities and a slower pace than major cities. Costs vary considerably: Manila and Boracay are usually more expensive than provincial locations, especially for housing. Foreign applicants normally need employer sponsorship and the appropriate work permit and visa, commonly arranged with support from the hiring company; requirements can change, so official Philippine immigration guidance should be checked. Relocating staff should budget for accommodation deposits, transportation, insurance and document processing. Local employees should verify salary, service charge, housing, meals, shifts and benefits directly with the specific Shangri-La property.
