I had a short but sweet stay in Cebu City last week for the launching of the billion-peso Pullman Mactan Cebu Hotel and Residences by Cebu-based Tytans Properties Development and Accor, which is a world leading hospitality group.
Known as the “Queen City of the South,” Cebu City is a popular tourism destination and a progressive urban hub as it attracts a wide range of sectors, including the burgeoning real estate industry.
With the entry of Pullman Mactan Cebu Hotel and Residences, it is expected to redefine the lifestyle landscape of Cebu City.
Its arrival was cemented with the signing ceremony of Accor Vice President for Development Chris Cho, C9 Hotelworks Managing Director Bill Barnett, Tytans Properties Development Chairman Gerard Tan, Tytans Properties Development Board Member Congresswoman Daphne A. Lagon, Tytans Properties Development President Cong Sonny Lagon, Accor Chief Development Officer Asia Andrew Langdon, and Accor Director of Development Kash Salvador for Pullman Mactan Cebu Hotel and Residences in Tambuli Seaside Resort and Spa in Mactan, Cebu on February 26, 2024.
Pullman Mactan Cebu, which is scheduled to open in 2028 in the 11-hectare Tambuli Seaside Living in Buyong, Maribago, Lapu-Lapu City, is expected to become the largest Pullman resort globally with its construction eyed to start in 2025.
I am excited for the entry of this branded resort mainly because of its features.
The 1,100-key Pullman Mactan Cebu Hotel and Residences will have 200 stylish guest rooms and suites alongside 900 branded residences, making it the most significant branded residential community in the Philippines.
The development will consist of three towers, each topped with a penthouse. Guests and residents will enjoy state-of-the-art amenities and full-service facilities, including world-class restaurants, contemporary lounges, collaborative leisure zones and forward-thinking corporate spaces.
Pullman Mactan Cebu Hotel and Residences is also poised to set a new standard for branded residences in the Philippines, offering unparalleled living experiences. Accor’s branded residential properties are supported by Accor One Living, the group’s industry-first, mixed-use platform focused on supporting the development and operation of branded residential communities.
Through Accor One Living, homeowners, guests, and partners are connected to Accor’s diverse ecosystem of brands, expertise, and solutions, fostering a continuous stream of new opportunities to live, work, and play.
“This is a proud moment for our company. Pullman is one of the most iconic brands in the global travel industry, with a reputation for leading the premium hospitality segment. This makes it the perfect partner for our landmark property, which is one of the largest of its kind in the Philippines – and indeed the world. We look forward to working with our esteemed partners at Accor as we bring this important project to life,” said Gerard Tan, chairman of Tytans Properties Development.
Garth Simmons, Chief Operating Officer of Accor, Asia, expressed his deligh to partner with Tytans Properties Development on this outstanding project that demonstrates Accor’s confidence in and commitment to the promising potential of the Philippines.
“Cebu City, with its distinctive blend of urban vibrancy and coastal charm, presents an ideal locale to cater to diverse markets. Pullman Mactan Cebu Hotel & Residences will attract a wide variety of homeowners and guests, from leisure enthusiasts to corporate travellers seeking extended stays. This project is poised to redefine premium living and hospitality experiences in Cebu,” he said.
Pullman Mactan Cebu Hotel and Residences is being developed by Tytans Properties Development and will be managed by Accor, under the pioneering Pullman brand, renowned for its trendsetting concepts. Pullman offers the ultimate playground for modern travellers and today’s new entrepreneurs, blending immersive design with progressive hospitality to inspire minds and energize bodies.
I’m excited for its completion and experience Pullman Mactan Cebu Hotel and Residences.
