Nature’s Suite Business Hotel

render from vatics

A 21-Storey Business Hotel, which broke ground yesterday, will rise in front of the Cebu International Convention Center at the North Reclamation Area in Mandaue City.

The hotel is owned by the Lua Family in Mandaue City.

Architect Anthony Abelgas said that the hotel will not have amenities found in five-star hotels for the reason that it is a business hotel. Instead, it would have a coffee shops, function halls, a ballroom, and other things that would specifically attract tourists.

The hotel is tentatively named “Nature’s Suite,” as the concept of the hotel is nature-inspired. It gives the feeling that one is outdoors, he said.

He said the hotel, once finished, would be the biggest in Cebu with 1,071 rooms.

Delegates attending a convention at the CICC, for instance, would no longer have to go to Cebu City for a place to stay, Abelgas said.

Mandaue City Mayor Jonas Cortes, who attended yesterday’s groundbreaking ceremony together with the Lua Family, said he is glad the hotel will rise in the city’s most strategic area, it being near the CICC and the Parkmall, which is now under construction.

Grand Cenia Hotel and Residences

Location: Archbishop Reyes Avenue corner Solon Street, Cebu City (across Cebu Business Park)
Land Area: 4,211 square meters
Number of Floors: 25 floors
Building Use: Residential and Commercial
Architecture: mainly European theme with clean lines that inject a “minimalist” sense to the space.
Developer: Filinvest Land, Incorporated
Consultants and Design Team: Aromin and Sy and Associates (Structural); CT Onglao Architects (interior); R Villarosa Partners and associates (Building Design); HE Dimanlig (Landscaping)
Target Completion Date: Late 2009/Early 2010

The Grand Cenia project is offered in two ways:

The condotel units and the residential units. The condotel units are 24.27 square meter hotel rooms available for purchase. These condotel units will be furnished and brought into real pool. All the units within the pool will be managed and operated as part of a fully functional hotel. Filinvest Land is looking to tie-up with Aston International, an internationally renowned hotel and resort operator, for the hotel operations of the project.

The residential condominium units are for long-term residential end users.

P500-M six star hotel to rise in Daan Bantayan

CEBU CITY, Philippines - To complement the position of Malapascua island as a premier tourist destination, Cebu-based MSY Holdings Corp. is building a P500-million six-star hotel in barangay Agujo, Daan Bantayan, north Cebu.
Martin Philip S. Yeung, MSY Holdings Corp. chief operating officer (COO), said that the 18-room exclusive facility would be completed in the middle of next year.



Yeung said he was upbeat about Malapascua island’s prospects because of the planned opening of an airstrip in Daan Bantayan.

Rep. Benhur L. Salimbangon (Cebu, 4th district), his uncle, plans to implement the project, said Yeung.

His mother, Mariquita Salimbangun-Yeung, MFC Holdings chairperson, said she too was also hopeful that the airstrip would be built because President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo said she wanted to maximize the tourism potential of Malapascua island.

The MFC Holdings is the umbrella company of the Salimbangon-Yeung group of companies, which includes the MSY Holdings Corp., the MCF Property Ventures Corp., Solid Partners Real Estate Developer and the Fairway Diamond Co. Ltd., Simplex Diamond Co. Ltd. and the Galleria Building, which are all based in Hong Kong.

The two-story high-end hotel will be called Kandaya, referring to a tribal chief who defended Daan Bantayan against the Spanish conquerors.

“It’s not that big a hotel but (it will have) world-class facilities and amenities,” Yeung said.
He said that Kandaya is positioned for foreign tourists who would like to visit Malapascua island.
A professional management group will be tapped to manage and operate the hotel.

The site of the planned hotel is a 12-hectare coastal property of barangay Agujo, Daan Bantayan, the northernmost town of Cebu about 129 km north of Cebu City.

Malapascua island is a 45-minute pump boat ride from Maya, Daan Bantayan.Article source:
