Solaire Resort & Casino (formerly known as Solaire Manila) is a resort and casino in Entertainment City, a massive complex built along the Bay City area of Parañaque, in Metro Manila, Philippines by way of a proclamation for tourism by H.E. President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo. The complex, which includes a five-star hotel with a total of 800 guest rooms, suites and villas. Solaire Resort and Casino is the first of 4 casino resorts to open in the area, and was opened on March 16, 2013, and is currently the tallest hotel in the Manila Bay area outside the City of Manila—a distinction previously held by Sofitel Philippine Plaza.
Solaire Resort & Casino is the first development to break ground in PAGCOR's Entertainment City, a massive integrated resort envisioned by former PAGCOR Chairman Ephraim Genuino by the Manila Bay. The 120-hectare (300-acre) reclaimed area has been designated as a special economic zone by the Philippine Economic Zone Authority.
The resort is run by Bloomberry Resorts and Hotels Incorporated, a subsidiary of Sureste Properties, Inc. (formerly Bloombury Investments Holdings Inc), headed by Enrique K. Razón, Jr., chairman of the Manila-based company, International Container Terminal Services Incorporated. The project required an investment commitment of $1.2 billion pursuant to a casino license from PAGCOR.
