Plaza Premium Lounge opened the doors of its latest lounge offering at Domestic Arrivals, Terminal 1 of Mactan Cebu International Airport in the Philippines this week. The lounge is the second location in the airport following the first Plaza Premium Lounge in Terminal 2 (International Departures), joining the world’s largest and award-winning network of independent airport lounges with more than 70 locations at over 35 international airports globally.
“Cebu is one of the most developed provinces in the Philippines and serves as the main hub for industries such as commerce, trade and education. The blooming economy has been further elevated by Mactan Cebu International Airport as the country’s second busiest airport. We always strive to match passenger demand – this latest addition to our lounges will provide another accessible option for business and leisure travellers alike – making travel better for everyone.” said Song Hoi-see, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Plaza Premium Group.
A city filled with iconic colonial landmarks, beach resorts and scenic islands, Cebu, is an increasingly popular holiday destination among travellers. Cebu’s global tourist arrivals increased by 15% in 2018 and Australian travellers increased nearly 20%. Both figures are expected to grow over the coming years.
“Terminal 1 is undergoing a total renovation plan that will complement Terminal 2’s resort-airport design concept and will provide an enhanced travel experience for the airport users. As we usher these improvements, we are glad to have Plaza Premium Lounge on board to establish its second lounge at Mactan Cebu International Airport. We strongly believe the synergy built will continue to elevate the travel experience for our passengers,” commented by Andrew Acquaah-Harrison, Chief Executive Advisor of GMR Megawide Cebu Airport Corporation (GMCAC).
Located in the restricted area, the 3,000-square-foot lounge is open 24 hours to offer a spectrum of services and facilities for all travellers to immerse themselves in total relaxation and comfort. Passengers are greeted with a bespoke hand-painted iconic Cebu beach landscape setting at the reception. Influenced by Spanish colonial design, the lounge architecture incorporates the use of traditional arch-shaped mirrors adding a touch of softness to the overall ambiance. To embody vernacular architecture, the lounge features Bankaray, a locally sourced wood material used as vertical planks adding a unique texture to the walls.
Facilities include: food and beverage selections with a live cooking kitchen, comfortable seating, shower facilities, complimentary Wi-Fi and recharging stations. Evoking a lifestyle-inspired atmosphere with its capacity of 80 guests, Plaza Premium Lounge is the perfect space for everyone to eat, work, relax and meet.
