Perfectly positioned directly across the Mactan Expo—the official venue of the ASEAN Tourism Forum (ATF) 2026—Mercure Mactan Cebu welcomes international delegates to an experience where global dialogue meets island culture.
Located within the dynamic Mactan Newtown township, the hotel places guests steps away from the forum while immersing them in Cebu’s rich heritage and coastal charm. As Cebu hosts regional and global tourism leaders from January 28 to 30, 2026, Mercure Mactan Cebu stands at the heart of a destination-wide showcase—reinforcing the island’s emergence as a premier MICE and tourism hub in Southeast Asia.
A Welcome Rooted in Filipino Hospitality
From arrival, guests are embraced by genuine Filipino warmth. The hotel’s thoughtfully designed interiors draw inspiration from Mactan’s natural landscape—flowing waves, coral reefs, and coastal textures—creating a refined yet grounded atmosphere.
A striking metal art installation honoring Datu Lapu-Lapu anchors the space, symbolizing courage, heritage, and Cebuano pride. It sets the tone for a stay that is both globally connected and deeply local.
Rooms That Tell Cebu’s Story
Each guest room extends the narrative of place through curated artworks and subtle cultural references. Design details inspired by puso (hanging rice) and beloved local delicacies such as otap, rosquillos, and dried mangoes infuse warmth and familiarity into modern comforts. The result is a seamless blend of cultural storytelling and contemporary elegance tailored for both business and leisure travelers.
A Culinary Journey at Pulô
At Pulô, the hotel’s all-day dining restaurant—named after the Cebuano word for “island”—guests explore Cebu through its flavors. The menu features heirloom-inspired specialties such as SuTuKil, Balbacua, Sizzling Kansi, and Tinola sa Itom, alongside international favorites. Every dish celebrates the island’s culinary identity while catering to a global palate.
Empowering Local Creativity: The Likha Corner
Mercure Mactan Cebu strengthens its community ties through the Likha Corner, a curated lobby space championing local entrepreneurs. Guests can discover homegrown coffee, sustainably sourced snacks, handcrafted fashion pieces, and original artworks—meaningful keepsakes that reflect Cebu’s thriving creative spirit.
Wellness with Filipino Soul
For restoration and balance, the 20th-floor spa offers traditional Hilot treatments rooted in Filipino healing traditions. After full days of ATF engagements, guests can retreat into a space designed for renewal—where time-honored wellness practices provide calm above the city and sea.
Where Heritage and Modernity Converge
Just 15 minutes from Mactan-Cebu International Airport, the hotel offers convenient access to landmarks such as the historic Mactan Shrine—the site of the Battle of Mactan—while remaining embedded within a modern township filled with dining, retail, and lifestyle destinations.
Backed by Megaworld Hotels & Resorts, the Philippines’ largest hotel operator, and in partnership with Accor, Mercure Mactan Cebu delivers internationally trusted standards infused with authentic local character, enhanced by the Accor Live Limitless program.
As Cebu takes the regional spotlight for ASEAN Tourism Forum 2026, Mercure Mactan Cebu stands at the crossroads of global exchange and island heritage—inviting delegates to experience the destination not only through meetings and exhibitions, but through its culture, cuisine, and community.
