Property developer Megaworld Corp. on Wednesday said it is set to open its second homegrown hotel development under the Belmont brand inside its 30-hectare Mactan Newtown in Lapu-Lapu City, Cebu by the fourth quarter.
This will be the 12th hotel property of Megaworld Hotels and Resorts.
The 20-storey Belmont Hotel Mactan will have 550 guestrooms and suites, composed of a mix of twin, queen, junior, executive and specially-abled rooms, with most units featuring an expansive view of the Hilutungan Channel. All rooms will be equipped with essential amenities, in-room electronic safety box, wall-mounted TV, tea and coffee-making facilities, a minibar and wireless Internet connection.
The new hotel will be located beside Savoy Hotel Mactan along Newtown Boulevard, and only a few minutes’ walk from the Mactan Newtown Beach and the soon-to-rise Mactan Newtown Beach Walk Mall. It will also be about a five-minute walk away from the Mactan Alfresco, a hawker-type dining destination that hosts a variety of restaurants offering Cebuano cuisine and other delicacies.
“Belmont Hotel Mactan will be our third Belmont Hotel property in the country. It is only about 15 minutes away from the Mactan-Cebu International Airport and will offer an unparalleled opportunity for families and travelers visiting Cebu either for business or leisure,” Cleofe Albiso, managing director of Megaworld Hotels and Resorts, said.
“From cafes, restaurants, grocery stores—everything is just a few steps from the hotel. Once opened, we will be the largest hotel operator in the whole of Cebu Province in terms of the number of hotel keys.”
Guests of Belmont Hotel Mactan can dine all day at Belmont Café. Located at the ground level, it offers a wide variety of Asian and Mediterranean dishes, including other local delicacies.
Also located at the lobby is the Zabana Bar, where guests can enjoy a selection of cocktails and refreshing beverages.
Aside from the pool, Belmont Hotel Mactan features a wide array of amenities at the central amenity area located at the third floor. This includes a children’s pool, male and female shower and changing rooms with toilets, outdoor lounge with elevated deck, fitness center, and a viewing deck where guests view the beauty of the nearby sea and the rest of the township and Mactan Island.
