Marco Polo Hotel limits bookings to Asean Summit participants
Marco Polo Plaza (formerly Cebu Plaza Hotel) is no longer accepting bookings for December 1 to 15 except for delegates to the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (Asean) Summit.
Hotel sales manager Arabella Barz said in an interview with Sun.Star Cebu that this move is upon the instructions of the Department of Foreign Affairs.
Barz told Sun.Star Cebu: “All the hotels in Cebu, including Marco Polo, will be used exclusively by the delegates of the Asean for security reasons. No other guests could use the rooms and other facilities during the entire period.”
Marco Polo Plaza has for accommodation 329 guestrooms and suites. It’s located in Nivel Hills in Cebu City and overlooks the entire city.
