Accor continues its expansion in the Philippines with the signing of Pullman Mactan Cebu Hotel & Residences, which is set to become the world’s largest Pullman property. The signing of the beachfront destination represents a milestone for mixed-use lifestyle real estate in the Philippines, as a new generation of integrated resorts emerges in Mactan, Cebu.
Scheduled to commence construction in 2025 and welcome its first guests in 2028, the new-build development will feature 200 stylish guest rooms and suites alongside 900 branded residences, making this the most significant branded residential community in the Philippines. The development will consist of three towers, each topped with a penthouse. Guests and residents will enjoy state-of-the-art amenities and full-service facilities, including world-class restaurants, contemporary lounges, collaborative leisure zones and forward-thinking corporate spaces.
Pullman Mactan Cebu Hotel & Residences is being developed by Tytans Properties Development and will be managed by Accor, under the pioneering Pullman brand, renowned for its trendsetting concepts. Pullman offers the ultimate playground for modern travellers and today’s new entrepreneurs, blending immersive design with progressive hospitality to inspire minds and energize bodies.
Following closely in the footsteps of the exceptionally well-received Pullman Residences in Singapore, set to open in 2024, Pullman Mactan Cebu Hotel & Residences is poised to set a new standard for branded residences in the Philippines, offering unparalleled living experiences. Accor’s branded residential properties are supported by Accor One Living, the group’s industry-first, mixed-use platform focused on supporting the development and operation of branded residential communities. Through Accor One Living, homeowners, guests, and partners are connected to Accor’s diverse ecosystem of brands, expertise, and solutions, fostering a continuous stream of new opportunities to live, work, and play.
