THE Ascott Limited looks to boost the hospitality experience in the Visayas region with the opening of Citadines Cebu City.
“Ascott Limited is thrilled to welcome guests into the newly-opened Citadines Cebu City to elevate the Cebu experience,” The Ascott’s Country General Manager for the Philippines Daniel Wee said in a statement.
Located in Base Line Center, Citadines Cebu City offers 180 serviced residences, which aim to combine the elements of a modern home and the services of a hotel. Its lobby features furniture and accent pieces by Cebuano artists such as Kenneth Cobonpue, Bobby Lagdameo, and Inky Livie.
Units range from studio queen, studio twin, and one-bedroom suite, which all come with their own kitchen, wireless internet access, home entertainment system, individual air conditioning, and built-in washer and dryer.
Guests will also have access to concierge and housekeeping services, a 24-hour reception and guest service team, and a fitness gym.
The Ascott has tapped The Abaca Group for the property’s food and beverage services, including the daily breakfast, banquet facilities, and in-room dining.
The apartment-hotel stands close to several tourist spots like the Magellan’s Cross, Basilica del Santo Niño, Fort San Pedro, Casa Gorordo Museum, Fuente Osmeña circle, the Taoist temple, and the Provincial Capitol.
Developed in partnership with listed property developer Cebu Landmasters, Inc., Citadines Cebu City is the first out of The Ascott’s strategic partnership with the company. The two firms plan to develop more hospitality projects in key cities in the Visayas and Mindanao region such as Cagayan de Oro, Davao, Dumaguete, and Iloilo.
