Marco Polo Plaza Cebu

  • Price$$$
  • CategoryLuxury
  • Rating★ 4.5

Marco Polo Plaza Cebu sits atop Nivel Hills in the Apas district, a hillside position above central Cebu City that gives the hotel sweeping views over the city, harbor, and Mactan Channel, roughly 15 to 20 minutes from the Ayala and IT Park business areas. The hotel has been a long-standing fixture of Cebu's upscale hospitality scene, built in a classic high-rise resort style with terraced grounds rather than the boxier downtown towers typical of the city center.

Perched on a hilltop with sweeping panoramic views of Cebu City, the Marco Polo Plaza offers elegantly appointed rooms, excellent dining, and one of the best vantage points in the city. The hotel's rooftop pool provides breathtaking sunset views.

Marco Polo Plaza Cebu sits atop Nivel Hills in the Apas district, a hillside position above central Cebu City that gives the hotel sweeping views over the city, harbor, and Mactan Channel, roughly 15 to 20 minutes from the Ayala and IT Park business areas. The hotel has been a long-standing fixture of Cebu's upscale hospitality scene, built in a classic high-rise resort style with terraced grounds rather than the boxier downtown towers typical of the city center. Rooms span Deluxe and Premier categories up to suites and Club rooms with lounge access, decorated in a traditional, formal style with city or sea-view balconies. Dining includes Cafe Marco for international buffet, Marco Polo's signature Chinese restaurant Tea House, and a lobby lounge, while the hotel is also a popular wedding and events venue given its hilltop setting. The rooftop pool is one of the hotel's defining features, offering panoramic sunset views over the city, and is complemented by a spa, tennis courts, gym, and a sizeable business center. The hillside location and event infrastructure make it a common choice for both leisure travelers seeking views and corporate groups holding conferences or galas, and the front desk regularly arranges shuttle service down to the Ayala and IT Park areas for guests without a car.
