Thursday, August 09, 2007 Editorial: Marco Polo Davao
NO QUESTION about it. The 18-storey hotel Marco Polo Davao is the city's tallest building and most visible landmark in the downtown area. But that is not what is most remarkable about the hotel. Marco Polo Davao has been cited for the second year in a row as Highest in Guest Satisfactory among all the Marco Polo chain of hotels in Asia.
Another feather in its cap is the fact that in a recently conducted event in Hong Kong last July 26, Hotel Club.com, the leading online accommodation provider that conducted the global consumer survey from October to December 2006, bared the list of Asia's best Hotels and Resorts. The gala ceremony held at the Cafe Deco at The Peak was attended by representatives from the 4,500 nominated hotels across Asia to witness Marco Polo Davao's inclusion in the short list of 350 finalists along with other finalists like Shangrila, Mandarin Hotel, Manila Peninsula, Hyatt Hotel and Amanpulo.
The recognition is a testament to Marco Polo Davao's influence in the southern region beyond the Philippines' neighboring countries.
Now, being one of the finalists is already quite an achievement in itself, considering the 4,500 entries. Of course, the icing on the cake would be if Marco Polo Davao finally wins all the marbles, so to speak. But that is still in the realm of the possible. But, who knows?
Sun.Star Davao congratulates the management and staff of Marco Polo Davao for this wonderful achievement. Cheers!
