This summer, escape the heat and unwind in style at Seda Ayala Center and Seda Central Bloc, two premier hotels in Cebu City that combine top-tier hospitality with rich local culture and eco-conscious living.
Strategically located in the city’s business districts, both hotels serve as an oasis amid urban buzz, living up to Seda’s “pagpadayun” (moving forward) spirit that marked its fifth anniversary theme in 2023. Whether for a quick weekend getaway or an extended stay, guests can expect saktung pahuway — the perfect rest.
Seda Ayala Center, renovated into a 301-room property in 2018, is ideal for both business and leisure with its club rooms, suites, and event venues that can host up to 300 guests. “Our team works tirelessly to ensure that every patron feels valued and experiences the highest level of comfort and quality,” said GM Gwen Dela Cruz.
Meanwhile, Seda Central Bloc, a 17-story hotel with a direct link to Ayala Mall Central Bloc, offers both short-term rooms and home-style serviced apartments. “Versatile accommodations, memorable culinary experiences, and eco-friendly practices ensure we exceed expectations while contributing to the community’s well-being,” noted GM Ron Manalang.
Both branches highlight Misto, their signature dining outlet. At Central Bloc, the award-winning sinuglaw and SuTuKil take the spotlight, along with lechon, noodle soup, and homemade ice cream. At Ayala Center, dishes like salmon inun-unan, linarang, and Cebuano humba showcase the depth of Cebu’s culinary heritage.
For drinks, Central Bloc boasts the only rooftop bar in I.T. Park, while Ayala Center features poolside and lobby bars ideal for Happy Hour cocktails.
Seda Hotels Cebu also lead in sustainability. Ayala Center partners with Japanese firm GUUN to convert solid waste into eco-fuel, supports local produce and SMEs, and retained all staff throughout the pandemic. “We have a clear message from the top – keep all the staff,” Dela Cruz shared.
Central Bloc, on the other hand, utilizes a 53 KWP solar panel system dubbed “The Green Initiative,” reducing carbon emissions and energy use during outages.
Easily accessible — just 40 to 45 minutes from Mactan airports and close to attractions like Temple of Leah and Tops — Seda’s Cebu properties make the perfect base for travelers exploring the Queen City of the South.
With heartfelt service, cozy rooms, local cuisine, and a strong commitment to community, Seda Ayala Center and Seda Central Bloc truly live up to the words of their Cebuano staff: “dili ko kalimot na lugar” — unforgettable places.
