AppleOne Group announces the official opening of Fairfield by Marriott Cebu Mactan, the island’s first-ever Marriott city hotel. Set to welcome guests on December 19, 2025, the property serves as the hospitality anchor for the brand-new Mahi Center, a premier mixed-use development designed to elevate the lifestyle and business landscape of Lapu-Lapu City.
Located just five minutes from the Mactan-Cebu International Airport (MCIA), the 196-room hotel introduces a sophisticated “bleisure” (business and leisure) concept to the region. The opening follows the highly anticipated launch of the Mahi Center mall just one day prior, signaling a major economic milestone for the island.
Fairfield by Marriott Cebu Mactan brings a fresh, intuitive aesthetic to the city. The property features a warm, Scandinavian-inspired design across its diverse accommodations:
-
89 Standard Twin Rooms
-
94 Standard Queen Rooms
-
13 Deluxe Queen Rooms
Every room is engineered for productivity and relaxation, complemented by smart amenities and world-class service. Beyond the guestrooms, the hotel offers an all-day dining restaurant, a state-of-the-art fitness center, and 256.22 square meters of flexible meeting space, making it a premier choice for corporate events and intimate social gatherings.
“Fairfield by Marriott Cebu Mactan represents more than just a new hotel; it’s an invitation to experience Cebu with greater ease and authenticity,” says Dottie V. Würgler, Multi-Property General Manager. “We are excited to welcome guests into a space where comfort, convenience, and genuine care come together at the gateway of Mactan.”
The hotel’s strategic location within Mahi Center places guests at the center of a vibrant community hub. As AppleOne’s second Marriott-branded property—following the successful Sheraton Cebu Mactan Resort—Fairfield bridges the gap between urban energy and island ease.
Mahi Center is set to become a destination in its own right, featuring:
-
Lapu-Lapu City’s first ABACA Baking Company
-
S&R New York Style Pizza and the return of the area’s only KFC
-
A diverse curated lineup of retail, personal care, and technology stores
For AppleOne Group, this opening is a testament to the resilience and progress of the region.
“Cebu has always been our home, and every project we build is rooted in that connection,” shares Samantha Manigsaca, VP for Hospitality at AppleOne Group. “With Fairfield, we wanted to create a place that reflects Mactan’s quiet strength and optimism—a space where people can come together and feel cared for.”
Whether guests are visiting for a sun-soaked weekend, exploring heritage sites and dive spots, or attending to business, Fairfield by Marriott Cebu Mactan provides a seamless base that maximizes every minute of their stay.
