Hann Resorts (stylized as HANN), or Hann Casino Resort, is an integrated resort at the Clark Freeport Zone in Mabalacat, Pampanga, Philippines.

History

[edit]

Hann Resorts is operated and owned by Hann Philippines, a company linked to South Korean businessman Dae Sik Han.[1] Han would start developing the casino-hotel complex as early as 2006 with no connections to Filipinos.[2]

The development of the Hann Resorts began with the opening of the Widus Hotel in 2008.[3] The hotel initially suffered low occupancy rates coinciding a a global financial crisis until the owners were granted a license to operate a casino in 2009.[1]

The complex would expand with the opening of the 260-room Clark Marriott Hotel in 2018.[4]

The complex would then be re-inaugurated under its current name "Hann Casino Resort" in December 15, 2021.[5][3]

Another hotel, the Swissôtel Clark would open within the integrated resort in 2022.[6]
