At the time the Grand Westside was only planned to have 685 rooms.[2]

The hotel complex was developed by Megaworld Corporation as its 19th hotel.[3] With 1,530 rooms, it is set to become the largest hotel in the Philippines in terms of room count.[4]

The first tower is set to open in late 2023, while the second tower is projected to be finished in 2024.[5][6]

The Grand Westside Hotel will consist of two 19-storey buildings which will host a total of 1,530 rooms.[7] Aside from the hotel, the complex will host retail and commercial spaces on its first two levels.[8]Other amenities to be constructed are a Grand Opera House, theaters and gambling facilities.[9]
