As Davao City slowly springs back to life from the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic, the city’s hotel with the best view of Davao Gulf reopened.
Blue Lotus Hotel welcomed the year 2022 by celebrating its second anniversary highlighted with its reopening on January 5, 2022.
“On our second year, it is with great pride to see our company growing, embracing a good value system, and achieving more than what we have ever thought of. And that is all because of your support,” said Roxanne Dela Merced-Pasibe, hotel manager of Blue Lotus Hotel.
Blue Lotus Hotel, which sits in a 2,000-square meter prime property along Quimpo Boulevard in Davao City, is owned by the family behind weighing scale manufacturer First Philippine Scales Inc. (FPSI). They decided to venture into the hotel business and opened the hotel on January 5, 2020.
“Almost the same time when the outbreak started globally wherein the first suspected case in the Philippines was investigated on January 22, 2020. If you could only imagine how heart-rending that is for us. But because of the circumstances, our company has become stronger and more efficient than ever before. Our employees, who always stand by our side, are and will always be our intellectual assets,” Pasibe said.
On normal days, staying in a near-empty hotel with only a handful of other guests and hotel staff might seem like the stuff of nightmares but pandemic time is not an ordinary time and yet employees of Blue Lotus Hotel worked against all the odds.
“We’ve given great thought to how we can retain that proactive force for good on a far wider scale in our everyday business, and strengthen our commitment to make sure we do what’s right, not just what’s needed,” Pasibe added.
The seven-floor, 133-room hotel is being positioned not just for leisure and business travelers but as a venue for small and medium-sized meetings, seminars, conferences, and special events with its eight function rooms.
The hotel is also ideal for local guests looking for an upgraded staycation or weekend getaway. Not to mention its “Skyview” at the rooftop wherein guests can admire the view of the city, Samal Island, majestic Mt. Apo, and the Davao Gulf.
Of course, health and safety remain the top priority of Blue Lotus Hotel that’s why it is leaning into the minimum health protocols set during the pandemic.
What are you waiting for? Get your suitcases ready as Blue Lotus Hotel gives you the chance to take time out to reset with a safe and pleasurable staycation.
