PHILIPPINES | Radisson Hotel Group will bring a world-class hospitality precinct to Cagayan De Oro.
Radisson Hotel Group has reaffirmed its commitment to introducing world-class hospitality to Southeast Asia’s exciting up-and-coming business and leisure destinations with the signing of Radisson Blu Hotel & Residences, Cagayan de Oro. This stylish upper-upscale property will become the first internationally branded mixed-use development in the Northern Mindanao region of the Philippines.
Perfectly positioned on one of the main roads in the city, this 717-key project will become a new landmark for Cagayan de Oro when it debuts. Radisson Blu Hotel & Residences, Cagayan de Oro introduces the city to meticulously designed guestrooms with dining, meeting and leisure facilities. With its prime location and five-star services, this property will become one of the most prestigious places to stay, live, meet, dine and unwind in this vibrant coastal city.
The Philippines is an important strategic market for Radisson Hotel Group. With six properties currently operating across the archipelago and five more in the pipeline, the Group is gearing up for a bright and exciting future.
“We are excited to partner with Radisson Hotel Group to introduce the first internationally branded hotel and residences to Cagayan de Oro and the entire Northern Mindanao region," said Ray Go Manigsaca, President and CEO of AppleOne Group.
"This will also be the city’s first five-star hotel. Radisson Hotel Group’s global expertise and dedication to creating truly meaningful experiences will position Radisson Blu Hotel & Residences, Cagayan de Oro as the ideal urban place for guests seeking varied travel purposes. With its prime location, choice of accommodation for short and extended stays, and world-class facilities for business, leisure and events, this project has the potential to boost the tourism industry in this dynamic destination.”
Cagayan de Oro is a major commercial hub and an attractive tourism destination, with many natural attractions, including pure seas, lush forests and mountains, and activities such as trekking, white-water rafting, sailing and kayaking. Just offshore, Camiguin Island is an ASEAN Heritage Park with dramatic volcanoes and sandy beaches. For business travellers, a new economic zone is being planned just outside Cagayan de Oro, and construction work recently commenced on the expansion of Laguindingan Airport, Northern Mindanao’s main aviation gateway, to cater for an expected rise in visitation.
“We are very honoured to be working with AppleOne Group, one of the largest real estate companies in the region, to bring our Radisson Blu brand to the vibrant city of Cagayan de Oro," said Ramzy Fenianos, Chief Development Officer for Asia Pacific at Radisson Hotel Group.
"This landmark hotel is a remarkable addition, giving us a strategic advantage and a significant opportunity to showcase Radisson Blu’s profound and personalised offerings to our guests in this exciting emerging destination. We cannot wait to welcome guests to not only experience the city and its lively ambience but also to feel a sense of belonging in our spaces. We are also in discussion with AppleOne Group regarding another branded project in the pipeline, located in an exciting location.”
The new property will feature a choice of diverse accommodation styles, two restaurants, a rooftop pool, a pool bar, a spa and a fitness centre. Meeting planners can take advantage of six event spaces and a large 872-square-meter ballroom, and residence owners will be offered exclusive access to a private clubhouse.
Radisson Blu Hotel & Residences, Cagayan de Oro will join Radisson Hotel Group’s expanding portfolio in the Philippines of six operating hotels.
