Nestled in 7. 5 hectares of lush greenery is Cebu’s classy urban resort that was reborn with a new name, one synonymous to impeccable service.
The towering landmark at the picturesque Nivel Hills that sits 600 feet above sea level, and let’s not forget the magnificent view of the city, is Marco Polo Plaza Hotel, certainly the newest hub for active businessmen and discerning travelers.
The initial year of its operation was a remarkably prosperous period. And there were other more than enough reasons for thanksgiving and celebration.
Marco Polo chairman Alfred Ty, together with its dynamic president Rey Villar and always-at-your-service general manager Hans Hauri, hosted a truly fabulous party to earmark the hotel’s first anniversary.
Much of its success is largely due to the support of loyal corporate clientele and travel industry partners whom the property honored with cocktails and a fabulous buffet capped by fantastic entertainment by Cebu’s very own, the sultry, timeless Verni Varga.
The well-attended event took a lot of preparation and only the excellent food and best wine for a very impressive guest list would do for the hands-on organizers, led by marketing director Lynn Romero, sales director Vicky Magsino, and PR manager Carlo Borromeo.
Ever since its reopening, the Marco Polo Plaza Hotel has been the venue of choice for visiting dignitaries, prominent celebrities and personalities, and all-important milestones both personal and official such as launches and inaugurations, baptisms and debuts, proms and weddings.
Plaques of appreciations were given to top corporate accounts that included Lexmark Dash Engineering, Glaxo Smith Kline and eTelecare. Top travel trade awards went to TMJ Travel and Tours, Hana Tours and Hafti Travel and Tours. Banquet Awardee of the Year was Metrobank Cebu and a special citation as first taipan member of Marco Polo Plaza Cebu was given to Joel Binamira.
The congratulatory toast was led by Alfred Ty.
This grand affair was another perfect celebration, which etched a lovely memory guests are certain to treasure for a long time to come.
