Diamond Suites gives new meaning to business hotel
MANILA, Philippines - People on a strictly business trip to Cebu do mean business, and it’s about getting good returns for practically everything they shell out.
But finding themselves billeted in the Diamond Suites & Residences becomes a totally different story. They get a lot more.
This new business hotel in the heart of Cebu City’s premier financial district happens to define “business” as “pleasure.” And to one’s pleasant surprise, it shows every minute of his stay — from the personalized service of the cheerful staff to the upscale amenities that amaze even a frequent guest of many other business hotels.
Unlike most hotels, getting into one’s room in Diamond Suites doesn’t entail inserting a plastic key in a slot and waiting for the greenlight to complete the security procedure. Thanks to the Diamond Suites’ sensor doorlock system, opening the door is just simple.
And instead of having to look around for the “Don’t disturb” or “Make up my room” signage to hang outside the door, the guest simply has to push a button for the world to know what he wants.
Yet, the pleasure has just begun. Aside from the standard amenities like mini-bar, in-room safe, hot and cold shower, individual air-conditioning and IDD/NDD phone facility, the room has LCD TV that is much larger than usual and Internet access that a guest can use for free till kingdom come, plus daily supply of newspaper on request.
And as comfortable as the bed, the memory pillow moulds gently to the shape of the head while supporting its weight as if afloat in a relaxing suspension, thus relieving the neck and shoulders of any contracted muscles after a stressful day.
There is ample lighting covering all sections of the room’s interiors, with gooseneck reading lights for utmost convenience and a space for deskwork.
These amenities can be experienced in each of the hotel’s 102 rooms (85 standard and 17 deluxe) and 27 condominium units.
The hotel also has an all-day dining restaurant, banquet and meeting facilities, business center, room service, complimentary Wi-Fi in public areas, car rental and airport transfers, swimming pool, gym, travel and tour desk, foreign currency exchange, laundry service and gift shop.
The meeting facilities include the Diamond Hall that can accommodate at least 50 people and the boardroom at least 20. These provide complimentary sound system and rostrum with two microphones, free Wi-Fi access and meeting pads, pens and candies.
Yet, the Diamond Suites can accommodate even a wedding reception for 150 guests, or a cocktail party by the pool for 30, or any event that the hotel can customize to suit a client’s specific needs, all according to his liking.
The Diamond Suites & Residences is just a short walk from the Ayala Center Cebu, only 30 minutes from the international airport, and surrounded by leisure, dining, entertainment and tourist destinations. Thus, guests, whether businessmen or families, have come to know how business can become a pleasure in a hotel where giving pleasure is its business.
Others, though, describe it in much simpler terms: “We’ve found a home in Cebu.”
