Alino Hotel Taps Veteran Hoteliers to Lead Quezon City’s Newest Landmark

Alino Hotel, the first hospitality project of property developer Keyland Corporation, has announced the appointment of its senior leadership team as the company prepares to open the 20-story, 128-room boutique hotel along E. Rodriguez Avenue in Quezon City.

Heading operations is General Manager Lady May Elegado, a hotelier with more than two decades of experience in both the Philippines and Malaysia. Her background includes senior roles at The Taaras Beach & Spa Resort, Berjaya Makati Hotel, and City Garden Grand Hotel. Over the course of her career, Elegado has overseen hotel functions ranging from pre-opening to day-to-day operations in both luxury and standard-class properties, giving her broad exposure to multiple areas of management.

On the culinary side, Executive Chef Rexsan Abarquez will direct the hotel’s food and beverage program, including its all-day dining outlet, Kutchara. Abarquez has also logged more than 20 years in the industry, most recently as Executive Sous Chef and Acting Executive Chef at Marco Polo Ortigas. His resume includes time with Conrad Manila’s pre-opening team, as well as kitchen posts at Sofitel Philippine Plaza, Mandarin Oriental Manila, and Makati Shangri-La. His experience in international kitchens and high-end hotels allows him to blend global techniques with Filipino flavors.

Keyland’s entry into hospitality through Alino Hotel marks a diversification for the developer, which has until now focused primarily on residential and office projects. The Quezon City property, scheduled to open in November 2025, is positioned to capture business travelers, medical guests, and families in one of the city’s busiest commercial districts.
