Approche Hospitality Management’s newly launched Strype Hotel Tagaytay continues to capture media attention. In a feature titled “Affordable Luxury, Social Hospitality | The Strype Hotel Tagaytay opens doors,” BusinessMirror highlights how this flagship property seamlessly blends accessible luxury with a social, community‑driven experience in the heart of Tagaytay. Designed for the modern traveler, the hotel offers a fresh destination where style and connectivity go hand in hand.
A proud debut for Approche’s lifestyle brand
According to the article, the grand opening marks the first property under Approche Hospitality Management’s new lifestyle brand, The Strype. Managing Director Chris Guballa notes that creating a hotel brand that reflects AHM’s values and vision has long been a dream. When the opportunity to collaborate with owner Melvin Canong arose, “it just clicked,” leading to a hotel that is playful yet polished, modern yet warm.
Affordable luxury meets bold design
BusinessMirror underscores that The Strype combines affordable luxury with bold design. Drawing inspiration from the evolution of the stripe—from a mark of rebellion to a symbol of elegance—the hotel’s aesthetics mirror its philosophy of reinvention through design, connection and experience. Clean lines, striking accents and lively communal spaces give the property a quiet confidence while encouraging guests to relax and interact.
Cantina Mexa: where connections are made
The feature also highlights Cantina Mexa, a Filipino‑Mexican restaurant helmed by Chef Noy. Offering a menu described as “colorful, flavorful and perfect for sharing,” the restaurant embodies The Strype’s ethos of connection—encouraging guests to gather, taste and celebrate life together. Dining at Cantina Mexa becomes as much about community as it is about cuisine.
A mid‑range brand for today’s creative travelers
The Strype positions itself as a mid‑range hotel brand aimed at young professionals, creatives and modern travelers. Its design palette uses blue to signify trust and relaxation and yellow to evoke warmth and energy—capturing an identity that is approachable, stylish and full of character. This balanced approach ensures guests can enjoy a premium experience without the premium price tag.
Opening doors — and possibilities
Chris Guballa concludes by saying the launch is “not just about opening doors — it’s about opening possibilities”. AHM envisions The Strype as the beginning of more spaces where people can create memories, friendships and moments worth celebrating. With this debut, AHM invites guests to experience a new kind of hospitality—one that is confident, connected and distinctly contemporary.
