For decades it was known simply as the Clark US Air Force Base, home to American pilots serving in the Pacific.

Today, with the pilots long gone, the Clark Freeport Zone (CFEZ) is setting out to become the hub for business, industry, aviation and tourism in the Philippines as well as the entertainment and gaming centre in Asia.

Sitting on 1.9 hectares of land in Clark, Pampanga, rise an upscale 125-room deluxe hotel, Hotel Vida.  It is envisioned to be dynamic and leader in the market because of its commitment to all-in-one luxury amenities, design and services offered to guests. The first tower consists of the Deluxe, Junior Suite, One Bedroom Suite and a Presidential Suite, which boasts of complete and first-class amenities.  The hotel will serve as haven to travelling guests who seek relaxation and privacy.

Rooms offer a view of the adjacent golf course or swimming pool and greenery.  The water features and verdant landscaping are indications of its tropical influence, aside from complimenting existing vegetation.  Its South-East Asian inspired architecture conveys both comfort and luxury.

The plan is laid out in such a way that natural ventilation, vistas and space is optimized.  Thus, a light and airy environment is achieved.  From the outside, the structure, with its modern tropical façade is complimented by water features and lush landscaping. It is a contrast of structure and nature.  A contrast is also achieved through the combination of smooth walls against rough wood slate cladding. 

The interiors mirror the same tropical and Asian influences of the façade.  There is continuity in the contrast of wall texture, the softness of water elements and greens to the hardness of stone.  Indigenous materials are used to enhance the tropical theme, through modern and innovative means.

Situated in front of the hotel resort is the Convention Center which houses the ballroom and function rooms with a total of 700 seating capacity.  It shares the same modern Asian characteristics of the hotel.

Eventually, Clark will become the International gateway to the Philippines. With the development of Diosdado Macapagal International Aiport (DMIA), we can anticipate growth and business development not only in Clark but on the Region as well.
