Best Davao City Hotels

Been working so hard these days?  Need a break?  Well, what are you waiting for?  Pack your bags and get that well-deserved vacation your tired body has been longing to have.  Most of us are caught up in the hustle and bustle of life that we tend to forget to relax and have fun.  We think of relaxation as a luxury – something that only rich people could afford to have since they own their time. But this is a very wrong notion.  Like any other machine, our body needs to be revamped or undergo system maintenance every now and then.  So ease up on those paper works and project deadlines and treat yourself with some loving and pampering it deserves.

Now if you are ready to jump off but don’t know where to spend your precious days of sweet escape, I have 2 words for you:  Davao City.  Davao City is a business center and paradise in one.  It has exquisite resorts, picturesque spots, and exciting night life. If you’re used to high-end establishments and hotels, don’t fret.  Hotels in Davao City are world class and offer a variety of services that would definitely make your stay a pleasurable and unforgettable one.  Whether sky is the limit or you’re in a fixed budget, there are a number of hotels in Davao City that would definitely fit your financial plan. 

If you want to experience a 5-star luxury, then Marco Polo Hotel is perfect for you.  It is the largest building in the city and offers state of the art facilities and hospitable service.  It has been a favorite of businessmen and CEOs of different nationalities.  Like other hotels in Davao City, Marco Polo is situated in the heart of the city’s business district.  It’s surrounded by shopping malls, spas, gyms, restaurants, parks, and other recreation centers and commercial establishments.

Another hotel that is known to and much loved by national celebrities is Apo View Hotel.  It’s has been accommodating local and foreign travelers for 63 years now and remains to be one of the most sought-after hotels in Davao City.  It has world class amenities, exceptional customer service and reasonable room rates that would fit any kind of budget.  It has the services you need to relieve your mind and body of stress that it has been bombarded with for a very long time.

So what are you waiting for?  Let Davao City revitalize your senses and create a happier and more productive you.  You earned it.

For someone who’s been away from Davao City for more than a year or two, D Leonor Hotel would surely be an unfamiliar sight for you.  This road side yet homey and cozy hotel is another addition to Davao City’s newly built building that would shape the image of this metropolis.  This business hotel is just along JP Laurel Avenue, just behind Landco building (one of the tallest buildings in Davao City).   

You just have to love its facade. Its design is hard to categorize but it sure does give the hotel a glamorous and elegant look.  The hotel’s balcony sure do a great job in inviting people to take a stop in their facilty if you ask me, for it has this “feels like home” appeal.  Majority of the hotels in the city don’t feature and offer  a balcony which makes this D Leonor Hotel one of the few of its class.  For a small hotel, this facility has very spacious rooms which is does not apply to most small hotels in town.

This shiny brand new hotel in Davao City is situated conveniently at the heart of the metro, making it highly accessible to business and corporate events, not just for tourists who needs a place to crash. D Leonor Hotel is a good indication that Davao City is continuously giving the local business scene a thrust and is successful with it.  This freshly built infrastructure could be the face of the modern Davao City in the years to come.

Ponce Suites is a state of the art hotel that will surely blow your mind with its artistic features.  Owned and designed by a renowned Davao Artist named Kublai Milan.  This hotel is definitely a site to see, the interiors are like no other. Medieval with a mix of Davao culture inspired paintings and crafts are all around the place, which turns this place into a semi art museum.  Aside from that, a coffee shop can be found on top of the building, boasting the same interiors as with the entire hotel.

This hotel can be discovered in the depths of a downtown subdivision in the city.  It is still closely located to shopping malls and other recreational areas.  A 5-10 minute drive is all it takes to reach the biggest mall(Abreeza mall) in the city, which is located at the northern part, while a 5 minutes drive down south will take you to another mall and to the heart of the city, where everything that you want is just around the corner.

If you have an eye for art and would like to integrate it into your vacation, this is probably by far the one of the best hotels in Davao City to visit.

Davao City hotels are not that affordable if you are planning to stay in the city for a longer period of time.  There a few hotels or suites in the city that can address that need without hurting your budget, they’re not that well known but they still offer quality and comfort that you’d look for a place to stay. Here are three recommended establishments that can help you get by that month  long stay in the City.
