Novotel Manila Araneta City proudly wins Accor’s LISTeN Program Award
Novotel Manila Araneta City has proudly been recognized as the champion in the midscale market category, earning the prestigious LISTeN Program Award for 2023. This accolade underscores the hotel’s unwavering dedication to delivering top-notch guest experiences and exceptional service. Achieving a top average score of 95.73%, Novotel Manila is proud to banner the Philippine flag in this remarkable achievement. Notably, this is the hotel’s second win as a champion, with the first being in 2019. The hotel is also the champion for the midscale market in Asia Pacific and the champion for all Accor hotels in The Philippines.
The LISTeN Program, an AccorHotels Quality Program, groups all hotel quality expectations based on the market they belong to and its level of demand. The program is built on five pillars: client recognition, needs qualification, client stay information, personalized proposition, and client experience. Additionally, the program’s basic principles include being customer-centric, recognizing return guests, adapting conversations based on customer needs, maintaining flexibility to cater to different markets, and focusing on guest satisfaction and experience.
“At Novotel Manila Araneta City, our guests are at the heart of everything we do,” said Ms. Maria Manlulu-Garcia, General Manager. “We are committed to offering personalized experiences that cater to the diverse needs of our guests, ensuring that each stay is comfortable, enjoyable, and memorable. This award is a testament to our team’s passion for excellence and dedication to delivering the highest level of service.”
The LISTeN Program Award is based on the average Reservation score across participating months in 2023. Hotels that participated for at least nine months in 2023 and continue to participate in 2024 were considered for this recognition. Champion properties receive an e-certificate and a trophy, while runner-up properties receive an e-certificate. The award was received by the hotel’s reservations team together with the guest service center department and was attended by the division heads for Commercial Sales and Revenue Management.
Novotel Manila Araneta City’s success is attributed to its well-appointed rooms, modern amenities, delectable dining options, and vibrant social spaces, all designed to enhance guest satisfaction. The hotel’s innovative approach to hospitality and commitment to continuous improvement have been key drivers in achieving this recognition.
“We are deeply grateful to our guests for their trust and loyalty, and to our dedicated team members whose hard work and commitment have made this accomplishment possible,” added Ms. Jam Cabullo, Assistant Reservations Manager. “Receiving the LISTeN Program Award motivates us to continue elevating our standards and delivering exceptional guest experiences.”
This prestigious achievement is an addition to the recent award bagged as Accor Asia Awards 2023’s Best F&B Performer, the hotel also made the list, coming in as a strong Philippine Accor brand with two out of three major nominations as Best Loyalty Performance and the much-coveted Hotel of the Year. As Novotel Manila Araneta City celebrates this milestone, the hotel reaffirms its promise to remain a leader in the midscale market and to provide unparalleled service to its guests.
