With a storied past and a reinvention, Clark invites you to celebrate its many firsts and adventures with a getaway to Hann Resorts
Over a century back, Clark Freeport Zone was once a stark symbol of American military prowess. It was Mount Pinatubo’s eruption in 1991 and the subsequent departure of US forces that reshaped its story. Now covering a vast stretch of 4,400 hectares, the area has blossomed into a go-to destination for shopping and recreation in Central Luzon.
Adjacent to Clark, Pampanga is a place for curious palates and explorers alike, enticing locals and tourists with its unique blend of tastes and traditions. Its high-spirited festivals, historic churches, and Kapampangan hospitality embody the essence of Filipino culture and community in the region, characteristics that Hann Resorts takes to heart.
As the first fully integrated resort in the Clark Freeport Zone, Hann Resorts is home to five-star hotels, a sundry of local and international cuisines from its unique restaurant concepts, and an awaited retail strip, further expanding your culinary journey.
Ever accessible
Situated conveniently close to the capital, the Freeport Zone is a mere road trip away from Manila or just a 10-minute journey from Clark International Airport, Hann Resorts offers a bold and rejuvenating stay for exploring Pampanga’s vibrant spirit.
Five-star service
In Central Luzon, the region is home to its first five-star hotel, Clark Marriott, offering guests plush accommodations with large windows showcasing views of the mountains, curated dining, entertainment, and wellness services.
For relaxation, the Quan Spa delivers an array of massages, body treatments, and beauty therapies that blend traditional and modern techniques. Partake in pre- or post-massage rituals in the hydrolounge with amenities such as a jacuzzi, sauna, and steam room.
Another first in the integrated resort and the Philippines, the five-star hotel Swissôtel Clark features a 22-story complex with rooms and amenities overlooking Zambales’ mountains. With a focus on revitalizing stays, its resort-style infinity pool and Pürovel Spa, also a first in the country, provide guests with an East meets West massage approach with their 90-minute Mekëni Signature Massage.
The Vitality Suites, tailored for aligning with the body’s circadian rhythms, optimizes your sleep through specially designed amenities, including intuitive devices and a cyber trainer to keep your health in check throughout your stay.
Culinary Capital of Clark
With over 18 dining venues within the resort, patrons can try a variety of gourmet dishes, featuring local and international flavors from establishments like Smoki Moto, a Korean restaurant with a specialty for Sutbul (meats grilled over a charcoal fire); Wu Xing, a blend of traditional and modern Chinese dining renowned for its four-way Peking Duck dish; Markt, recreates a European marketplace with nostalgic storefronts offering diverse international cuisines; and Ristorante di Verona, reimagines Italian dishes such as Osso Buco and porchetta with a “fun dining” experience.
The resort’s soon-to-open retail space aims to extend this culinary journey, introducing new food and non-food brands to its roster.
Bold adventures
