Marco Polo Davao

Marco Polo Davao is the only luxury hotel in Mindanao, managed by an international hotel chain, Wharf Hotels Management Limited, and is also registered under the prestigious Global Hotel Alliance. When the hotel opened its doors in 1998, it began a new chapter in the history of Mindanao tourism, not only in building a remarkable landmark, but also a symbol of hospitality for the whole island. It was poised to fulfill a mission of contributing to the growth of Davao and Mindanao as a premier destination in the Philippines. Davao city is one of the most developed and fast growing cities in the country, showing great promise in terms of business ventures, tourism traffic, and favorable cosmopolitan lifestyle. It is rich in culture as it is in land. Due to peace and order issues in the neighboring regions and the shortage of direct international flights, the city has had challenges in establishing better linkages with foreign countries. Nevertheless, the Marco Polo Davao has ushered in an era of renewed hope for prosperity, and considerably raised international profile. Entrepreneurs and multinational investors, attracted by success stories of burgeoning business opportunities in Davao, found a suitable place to stay in the shape of Marco Polo Davao. To date, the city is booming with new structures and additional players in the hotel industry.
