A High-Rise Urban Resort Above Cebu
Landmark Tower on Nivel Hills
Marco Polo Plaza Cebu is a modern 24-storey high-rise positioned on elevated ground in Nivel Hills, combining the profile and functions of a large city hotel with resort-style leisure facilities. Its approximately 600-foot elevation gives the property a defining outlook over Cebu City, the mountains and the sea.
Landscaped Spaces Beyond the Tower
The property’s common areas extend into park-like grounds with a garden, outdoor furniture, terraces and a sun terrace. Public facilities also include an entertainment lounge, coffee shop, specialty restaurants and substantial banquet areas, creating a broad full-service layout rather than a purely residential hotel experience.
Panoramic Rooms and Suites Above the City
Mountain and Sea Outlooks
The 329-room-and-suite inventory includes accommodation described with views toward the mountains or sea, extending the hotel’s elevated Cebu setting into the guest accommodation. The suite collection provides a broader range of accommodation categories within the high-rise property.
Suites with Distinctive Bathing Options
Some accommodation descriptions identify spa baths, while other room summaries mention separate sitting areas and refrigerators. These features apply to selected room types rather than the entire inventory and add a more residential layout or enhanced bathing experience to particular stays.
A Multi-Venue Dining Collection with Elevated Views
Blu Bar & Grill and the Lobby Lounge
Blu Bar & Grill is the signature elevated dining venue, pairing panoramic city views with grill-and-seafood cooking. The Lobby Lounge provides a separate lounge-style social setting, while the hotel’s coffee house and bar extend the choice of informal drinks and refreshments.
Cafe Marco’s All-Day Buffet
Cafe Marco is the all-day dining venue, serving breakfast, brunch, lunch and dinner with global or Asian-Western cuisine. Breakfast is available as a buffet from 6:00 AM to 10:30 AM, with breakfast in the room also offered.
Poolside Mediterranean and Chinese Specialities
El Viento Restaurant & Pool Bar serves à la carte food in a pool-facing setting with a Mediterranean emphasis. Hai Shin Lou provides the Chinese dining option, while special diet menus can be requested and wine or champagne is available.
Year-Round Pool Leisure on the Hilltop
Outdoor Pool with Children’s Pool
The outdoor swimming pool operates throughout the year from 8:00 AM to 8:00 PM and welcomes all ages. A separate children’s pool creates an additional family-focused water area, with some descriptions referring to two pool areas within the leisure zone.
Pool Deck with Bar and Loungers
The pool area includes pool towels, sun loungers or beach chairs, shade, in-water loungers and a pool bar. El Viento Restaurant & Pool Bar adds à la carte dining directly beside the pool, supporting longer outdoor stays without leaving the leisure deck.
Gardens and Elevated Terraces
Outdoor furniture, a garden, terrace and sun terrace create landscaped spaces around the tower. These areas complement the elevated setting and provide outdoor seating and leisure space alongside the hotel’s panoramic city, mountain and sea outlooks.
The Wellness Zone and Full-Service Hotel Facilities
Spa, Sauna and Treatment Programme
The Wellness Zone includes a spa and wellness centre, sauna and beauty salon. The treatment offering extends to facial and body treatments and massage services, providing a broader programme than a standalone gym or basic sauna facility.
Fitness and Recreation Facilities
An on-site fitness gym forms part of the wellness provision, while older facility listings also identify outdoor tennis courts. The leisure programme is complemented by the outdoor pool, children’s pool, garden spaces and sun terrace.
Meetings, Banquets and Practical Services
Multiple meeting rooms and ample banquet space support conferences and social functions. Additional full-service facilities include currency exchange, ATM or banking access, a hair salon, on-site shopping, room service, 24-hour security and a complimentary shuttle to the business district and shopping malls.
Nivel Hills Access to Cebu’s Commercial Core
A Hilltop Base in Lahug
The hotel is located in Nivel Hills in the Lahug area of Cebu City, a higher-elevation hospitality zone known for its outlook across the city. Its position provides a hilltop setting while retaining road access to central Cebu’s commercial and institutional districts.
