This enormous upper-middle-range casino and convention hotel in Cebu has 562 rooms and suites, most of which have dated decor and could use an update. Standard in-room amenities include minibars and air-conditioning, and most room types have separate walk-in showers and soaking tubs. However, it's the hotel's facilities that really stand out, including a 24-hour casino with all sorts of table games, an enormous fitness center with its own boxing ring, a lovely outdoor lagoon pool, and extensive meeting spaces. There are also extensive dining options, ranging from Japanese and Italian to Chinese cuisine. Travelers wanting something more modern should consider the Radisson Blu Cebu, which offers similar features.

The three-and-half-pearl The Henry Hotel Cebu is a hip boutique gem that’s big on character, with an eclectic industrial-retro design. It’s also big on sleeping spaces -- the 38 artsy rooms here are all well-sized. Rooms are individually designed and have comfy beds, but lack amenities like coffee- and tea-making facilities. Facilities include a quirky restaurant and a small outdoor pool. In a city of high-rise, low-charm business hotels, this upper-middle-range hotel stands out for its original style and mostly attracts younger couples. Travelers seeking something more formal might consider the larger Radisson Blu instead, which has more amenities and facilities (along with far higher rates).

Opened in 2014, the Bayfront is a centrally located upper-middle-range property that caters to business travelers and garden-variety tourists; however, proximity to both the airport and seaport (a seven- and 17-minute drive respectively) also make it a practical choice for folks who are just passing through. Befitting the hotel’s age, its 168 rooms—available in four configurations—tick all the boxes in terms of modern comforts and equipment. On-site you’ll also find a restaurant, multiple meeting rooms plus a fitness center but, alas, there is no pool. If swimming is on your to-do list (or you simply want to take advantage of the sunny weather), consider upper midrange alternatives like the Henry Hotel Cebu, the Quest Cebu, the Cebu Parklane International, or the Waterfront Cebu City Hotel & Casino instead.

The 241-room Cebu Parklane International Hotel is a three-and-a-half pearl hotel in Cebu’s main business district. It’s convenient for business travelers, as the Grand Convention Center and IT Park are within easy walking distance, but the decor is functional and formal. Highlights include a small coffee shop in the lobby and a fully-equipped fitness center. There is a pool, but it’s in an odd half-covered concrete space and not great for sunbathing. Rooms are classic and a bit bland, and include air-conditioning, coffee- and tea-making facilities, and free Wi-Fi, plus soundproofing and black-out curtains for added comfort. The hotel has reasonable rates for the location, but business travelers should consider the savings against the better business facilities at the upscale Radisson Blu.

The 350-room Mandarin Plaza Hotel is a mid-range property centrally situated in Cebu City's business district, a four-minute walk to Ayala Mall and the Grand Convention Center. It's a bit bland in terms of decor and interiors have a corporate vibe, but rooms are large and clean. A solid set of amenities include flat-screen TVs, mini-fridges, coffee/tea facilities, and free Wi-Fi, while suites add separate living rooms. The hotel has an outdoor pool as well as a gym and sauna, plus there's a restaurant and bar. Breakfast is included, but gets mixed reviews. Three meeting rooms round out the features at this property that caters mainly to business travelers. For something more stylish and with more character, check out the hip boutique The Henry Hotel Cebu, though it doesn't offer as many features.

The 400-room Radisson Blu Cebu is an upscale corporate hotel that’s joined to Cebu’s SM City mega-mall, close to the port and Mactan Channel. This is one of Cebu’s most dependable hotels and while it’s certainly a big-name base, the contemporary decor is often only functional. Spacious rooms have memory foam mattresses and modern amenities like free Wi-Fi and iPod docks, while higher room categories have access to the 20th-floor Business Class Lounge. Highlights from the facilities? An outdoor pool, attractive all-day dining restaurant, and a tea bar. This four-pearl hotel is geared toward business travelers and is arguably the best corporate hotel in the city. Even so, it’s worth comparing rates at the Marco Polo Plaza Cebu -- a historic business hotel in a quieter hillside setting.

Quest Cebu is a 427-room three-and-a-half-pearl hotel with sharp and simple interiors that make it a nice step-up from other middle-of-the-road hotels nearby. Highlights include a small outdoor pool with a swim-up bar, and a large restaurant. One of the main reasons to stay here is the location, which is just across from the Ayala Mall. The rooms are nice, too, and feature sharp decor and modern amenities like air-conditioning, coffee- and tea-making facilities, and free Wi-Fi. For travelers in search of an affordable alternative to the city’s upscale business hotels, Quest is an excellent base. Even so, for travelers wanting something with more boutique charm, it's worth considering The Henry Hotel Cebu, though rates may be higher and it's not as central.

The 329-room three-pearl Marco Polo Plaza Cebu sits in a scenic hillside spot overlooking the mountains and the city. This historic high-rise hotel was once the place to be for VIPs visiting Cebu. Today, after acquisition by the Marco Polo group, it’s more of a business hotel, but retains some classic charm (though it's dated in spots). There’s a good range of above-average facilities, including a smart Club Lounge, outdoor pool, and romantic rooftop restaurant with terrace. Rooms are spacious but tired and could do with a refresh, though they include air-conditioning and free Wi-Fi. Business travelers looking for a more convenient central location might consider the Radisson Blu Cebu instead -- although offerings there are otherwise similar.
