Where luxury feels like coming home

Five-star luxury is often associated with polished, impersonal elegance. A stay at the Hilton Clark Sun Valley Resort, however, redefines this expectation. Here, luxury is rooted in genuine warmth and attentive familiarity, transforming the beautiful property into a true home away from home.

Located in the vibrant Clark Freeport Zone, the Department of Tourism-certified five-star resort is a sanctuary of modern comfort set against lush hillside views. With spacious, digitally enabled rooms, a stunning outdoor pool, and a wellness center, the physical amenities are exactly what you’d expect from a top-tier Hilton property. Guests can enjoy gourmet dining, a fully equipped fitness center, a dedicated Kid’s Club, and even a walking path through the grounds.

At the helm of this exceptional team is general manager Denise H.R. Molintas, PhD. Appointed to lead the resort, Molintas is no stranger to Hilton’s standards of excellence, having begun her career with the group in 2001. Her impressive journey spans over two decades across China and Southeast Asia, where she managed daily operations, developed key business strategies, and led the pre-opening of several Hilton properties.

“When I took over Hilton Clark Sun Valley Resort in April 2022, it was still emerging from pandemic challenges and completing pre-opening requirements. Our goal was clear—to build the property as ‘the premier MICE destination resort north of Manila.’ This vision guided key improvements and fostered a culture of learning and continuous growth, which has become the foundation of our success,” Molintas

Hilton Clark Sun Valley Resort bases its guest experiences on six core themes—sustainable, harmonious, adventurous, diverse, epicurean, and sassy—collectively called its “Shades of Blue.” These themes shape offers for both individual travelers and MICE groups.

The resort connects guests to a wide range of local activities, from adventurous treks up Mt. Pinatubo and visits to Aqua Planet waterpark to wellness sessions at Apricus and cultural experiences like sisig tastings, painting classes, or horseback riding at El Kabayo. Guests can also enjoy premier golf at D’Heights Resort and Country Club or relax with a healing treatment at Apricus Wellness Spa.

The resort’s layout is intentionally zoned to preserve the guest experience across different visitor needs. Leisure facilities such as the gym, Kids Club, and spa are situated on the mezzanine level, providing a tranquil retreat for families. In contrast, the Grand Ballroom and meeting spaces occupy the ground floor with separate entrances and dedicated parking, allowing large events to run independently.

This design enables the resort to operate dual service modes smoothly: attentive, family-focused engagement and efficient, large-scale event coordination. Through deliberate zoning and integrated planning, Hilton Clark maintains a peaceful family atmosphere even during high-volume conferences and banquets.

Guests also have access to a variety of on-site dining options to suit any taste. All cuisine is available for in-room dining, with online orders delivered seamlessly to the door in 10 to 15 minutes.

“Our approach is to give guests a curated culinary journey reflecting both our heritage and global standards. At Olive, we blend Kapampangan and Filipino flavors into familiar international dishes, letting guests enjoy local tastes in an approachable way. This balance helps international travelers appreciate our regional cuisine without overwhelming their palate,” Molintas continued.

Beyond Olive restaurant, guests discover an entirely different dining dimension at Xi. The culinary team has crafted a menu that showcases elevated, authentic Chinese flavors.

In the end, Hilton Clark Sun Valley Resort offers more than luxury—it offers a sense of belonging. Guests feel recognized, cared for, and at home. Under Molintas’ guidance, the resort blends world-class amenities with the simple, profound luxury of human connection.
