THE Marco Polo Davao?s luxurious accommodations and amenities are quite simply the finest in Davao City, making it a favorite for business travel in the southern Philippines.

The luxury comes at a premium, though, but look what the higher rates get you: convenient downtown location, fine dining at the mezzanine-level Club Marco, endless lifestyle diversions at the fourth-floor Deck, and comfortably classy accommodations with views of the mountains or the Davao Gulf.
What makes it special?
The Marco Polo Davao?s location at busy Claro M. Recto Street places the hotel (and its guests) right in the middle of the action: only 20 minutes away from the airport, the hotel stands at one end of Davao City?s most prominent commercial avenue and across the street from souvenir-rich Aldevinco Shopping Center.
If you?re a businessman staying at the Marco Polo, expect Davao?s business to come to you: the hotel is a favorite watering hole for the city?s movers and shakers.
The hotel?s first-class amenities draw them in ? the Marco Polo Davao has some of the city?s finest dining establishments under its roof, including the Polo Bistro, which serves up Angus tenderloin steaks and an irresistible grilled blue marlin; the Cantonese restaurant Lotus Court; the ground-floor Eagles Bar; and the Caf? Marco, with its massive buffet and a la carte spread.

What to expect?
The Marco Polo Davao?s 245 guestrooms and suites have been designed along modern lines, with a Filipino touch. The d?cor is rich in creams and greens, reflecting Davao City?s natural hues. Large windows in every room open up to views of the Davao Gulf or the mountains around the city.
For enhanced pampering, try the Continental Club Rooms on the 17th floor and 18th floors ? Continental Club guests enjoy a range of exclusive perks, like personalized registration in a separate lounge; complimentary breakfast, afternoon tea and cocktails; and butler service.
What is there to do?
The Marco Polo Davao?s lifestyle amenities have all been aggregated on the fourth-floor Deck: an outdoor podium that houses the hotel?s 25 m swimming pool, fitness center, and the Lazuli Spa. The Sarangani Function Room and the Polo Bistro Pool Lounge can also be found on this level ? the latter is a great place to have drinks while the sun sets.

The fitness center covers two levels of exercise space, including an aerobics floor and new gym equipment. Beside the gym, the two-storey Lazuli Spa offers four treatment rooms and one couple?s room.
If you want to stay close to all this fun, book a cabana room on the fourth or fifth level; these accommodations give you the choice of a patio (for 4th-floor cabana rooms) or a balcony (for 5th-floor cabana rooms) that look out to the Deck and its activities.
What is the damage?
The superior and deluxe rooms at the Marco Polo Davao go for between US$92 to US$117, with early-bird deals and seasonal specials available. You get comfortable business-class accommodations, with the aforementioned panoramic view of the city, but WiFi is not free and requires an additional payment if you want to get the password.
