The design for the new rooms was conceptualized by Architect Dewey Santos of DSFN Architects, together with the hotel’s management.

Brian Connelly, Marco Polo Plaza Cebu General Manager said they are excited for the renovation to be complete.

“We’ve pored over the design and the change will be a comprehensive one. It will be a mix of luxury and comfort, apt for the traveller of today, whether you are travelling with your family or for business,” Connelly said.

While renovations are ongoing, Connelly assures that all hotel operations will continue to be as efficient as possible, with guests guaranteed to get the same quality service that is the Marco Polo way. Continuous Improvement is one of the core values that all Marco Polo Hotels truly adhere to.
