Mallberry Suites Opens New Wing and Café Laguna Branch
One of the most luxurious and hospitable first class hotels in the city, Mallberry Suites usually plays host to foreigners and local celebrities who are here in the city for some business purpose or for some R&R. Its convenient location at the heart of the city’s premier commercial establishment and its very reasonable room rates are not the only things going in its favor. Anyone can expect the best hotel services from their staff and management.
To further accommodate their increasing patronage and provide additional amenities for their clients, Mallberry Suites started 2011 by completing two of its newest developments: opening its newly constructed wing and the Café Laguna Restaurant.
Extending Mallberry’s Capacity for Hospitality
Mallberry Suites is recognized as a favorite among tourists and businessmen in the city. The hotel is often fully booked, regardless of whether or not it is a peak season, and this prompted the owners to expand. Construction for the two new buildings was started in 2009 and was finally finished at the end of 2010.
The new wing is not composed of two separate buildings, although it does give that impression. A larger portion of the new building has 10 stories, while the smaller wing has seven. It extends eastward towards Osmeña street, which is beyond the Limketkai complex.
The new building brings up Malberry Suites’ total number of rooms to 400 from 120. Surely, there will no longer be room shortage problems for tourists who wish to seek accommodations here.
No news has been released whether this new wing will impose new tariffs on the room accommodations and hotel services, so we can expect them to remain the same for their nine room choices (Php1,980–Php7,500 per night). The best way to find out, though, is to contact Mallberry Suites at 088-8549999.
Café Laguna
Café Laguna opened its branch at Mallberry, right across the reception area and hotel lobby. The restaurant’s new location is only a stone’s throw away from its original one, which was at the ground floor of Robinson’s Mall.
This second location is a huge advantage for all parties involved. Café Laguna is famous in the country for serving authentic and traditional Filipino cuisine. The restaurant will surely be an added attraction for Malberry’s foreign clients who would like to try some of our favorite local dishes. This is a wonderful addition to Malberry’s amenities and services, which also includes an indoor pool, a business center, integrated Wi-Fi access, souvenir shop, function rooms, boardrooms, the popular Rosso Steakhouse and Café Berde.
The restaurant is under the same management as the one in Robinson’s. It is still owned by the Urbinas of Cebu.
The tie-in of Mallberry Suites and Café Laguna indicates the simultaneous rise of hotel industry and restaurant businesses in CDO. Staying on top of the business is obviously foremost in the minds of its owners and they do so by delivering the best service to their customers.
Tourists, businessmen and travelers will surely be satisfied with the hospitality of Malberry Suites and the delicious dishes of Café Laguna.
