It also includes added perks such as upgraded room and amenities, complimentary daily newspaper, turn-down service, express check-in and check-out services, a Nespresso coffee machine in the guestroom, and complimentary pressing of garments upon arrival.

Radisson Blu Hotel Cebu is positioned to deliver some of the highest levels of comfort and quality, making it an ideal hotel for business and leisure travellers,” said Grant Gaskin, general manager, Radisson Blu Hotel Cebu.
