Marriott International has strengthened its footprint in the Philippines with the debut of two select-service brands: Fairfield by Marriott Cebu Mactan and AC Hotel by Marriott Manila. The openings mark the first AC Hotel in the country and Marriott’s first city hotel in Mactan, underscoring the group’s expansion across key urban and gateway destinations.

Marriott’s first city hotel in Cebu Mactan

Fairfield by Marriott Cebu Mactan marks the brand’s entry into Mactan and Marriott International’s first city hotel on the island. The 196-room hotel is located at Mahi Center within Mactan Economic Zone 1, just three minutes from Mactan-Cebu International Airport, and is directly connected to Mahi Mall.

The hotel offers three room categories – Standard Twin, Standard Queen and Deluxe Queen – designed with functional layouts, ergonomic workspaces and high-speed connectivity to support business and transit travellers.

For events, the property features over 250 sqm of meeting space across two function rooms, each divisible into three smaller venues. The flexible configuration supports corporate meetings, training sessions and intimate social gatherings, complemented by modern audiovisual technology and on-site event support.

Dining is centred around DAVOS, an all-day restaurant showcasing locally inspired seafood and coastal cuisine alongside international offerings. Additional amenities include a 24-hour fitness centre.

Rooms feature contemporary interiors and 180-degree views of the Ortigas skyline.

For meetings and events, the hotel offers 802 sqm of flexible event space across seven meeting rooms, all located on the same floor. Designed with high ceilings, natural daylight and modern audiovisual systems, the spaces are suited for board meetings, corporate seminars, weddings and social functions.
