The Victorias Hotel is now open for business.
It was launched and inaugurated on March 12, ahead of the 25th Kadalag-an Festival celebration, with the ribbon cutting ceremony led by Victorias City Mayor Javier Miguel Benitez.
The construction of the City Hotel started in 2022, with the aim to augment the lack of accommodation facilities in Victorias City, and to amplify tourism attraction.
A statement issued by the City Tourism Development and Promotion Office said the Victorias Hotel will be an avenue to cater to local and foreign visitors and guests, which is expected to boost and increase the tourist arrivals in Victorias City, while promoting and offering local destinations which will gradually help increase the city’s revenue.
The launch was also attended by Vice Mayor Abelardo Bantug III and members of the Sangguniang Panlungsod, Board Member Juvy Pepello, barangay captains, City Hall department heads, and PLt. Col. Roy Gutierrez, the city police chief.*
