"Hotel of the Year"

Cebu City's finest, Marco Polo Plaza Cebu, was recently awarded as the 2013 Hotel of the Year, besting all other Marco Polo Hotels.

In the recently held 2014 General Managers Conference in Hongkong, Marco Polo GM for the Philippines Hans Hauri received the award from Marco Polo Hotel President Eric Waldburger. The Hotel of the Year Award is given to the hotel that exemplifies excellence in guest service operational standards, associate management and financial results. Marco Polo Plaza Hotel Cebu just demonstrated this to its guests by providing excellent service, passion and heart even in the midst of the calamities the Visayas experienced last year.

Waldburger had only words of praise for the Philippine-based property. "Marco Polo Plaza Cebu displayed a consistent distinction in service and quality, and deserved the 2013 Hotel of the Year award, as it set the standards for our entire company. I would like to congratulate Hans Hauri and his team for a successful and prosperous year," he said.

Hans described their recognition as a "true reflection of the Cebuano's outgoing attitude, well-known friendliness and hard work balanced with their love for fun. Our stakeholders' confidence through new investments to keep the hotel's facilities at the leading edge of the hotel industry is added dimensions to the Hotel of the Year."

This is the second time Marco Polo Plaza Cebu has been awarded Hotel of the Year award. The first was in 2006, the year the hotel opened. The Marco Polo Hotel group has more than13 hotels  - properties under development across Asia including Marco Polo Davao and the recently opened Marco Polo Manila in the Philippines. Marco Polo Hotel Cebu is beautifully located in Nivel Hills, Cebu City.

The euphoria is still there while our dear friend Hans Hauri is being congratulated for a job well done. Congratulations Hans and keep up the good work!
