See you at the ‘Courtyard’

It’s easy to see why local and foreign tourists are now flocking to the City of Iloilo.

Here is a quaint city that offers the best of both worlds—that rustic charm blending seamlessly with the growing dynamism of modern Iloilo, which make for an enthralling, unique destination worth going back to.

And this year, Iloilo City has given us another reason to go back with the opening of Courtyard by Marriott Iloilo, a world renowned hotel brand under the Marriott International team. The Courtyard brand chose this city to be its first home in the Philippines.

The Courtyard by Marriott has perfectly captured that quaint charm and everything else that one can love about Iloilo —with its welcoming and leisurely vibe, world class accommodation, and its culinary treats. Here at the Courtyard is where you can find true respite while still having access to modern-day comforts and great adventures.

Strategically located in the Mandurriao district, the Courtyard by Marriott Iloilo is reportedly the first international hotel in the province. The cozy and homey vibe of each of its 326 rooms match perfectly with the relaxing feel of the city.

The ultra comfy beds and soft pillows are enough to lull you into a luxurious sleep. The “LoungeAround” sofa offers a pop of color and a comfortable area to relax in. There’s also a light desk on wheels, just in case you need to squeeze in some work. The upgraded, more spacious layout creates an enhanced bathroom experience.

Guests at the Courtyard Iloilo can also enjoy an open and bright area outside their rooms where media pods, complimentary WiFi and a variety of seating zones are available. This redefined space can be used for pop-up meetings and social gatherings.

For those who are worried about missing a day at the gym while on vacation, Courtyard Iloilo has a well-equipped fitness center and a refreshing pool. Here’s also your chance to burn off those calories from feasting on Iloilo’s gastronomic treats.

In the morning, swing by the Runway Kitchen, the hotel’s in-house restaurant with whole day buffet and a la carte offers, for a hearty breakfast before going off on your Iloilo sojourn. You will be needing lots of energy exploring the city.

At night, as you return from your adventures, you may also have your fill at nearby restaurants such as Farm to Table, The Granary, Jip Bab, Breakthrough, Ted’s La Paz Batchoy, Dova Brunch Cafe, Grillers, Cable Car and Cafe Panay. Wind down at the hotel’s Pool Bar for some drinks before hitting the sack.

As its name suggests, Courtyard Iloilo is poised to be your private sanctuary while you are on vacation, a safe and even more relaxing space in the city.

Indeed, the Courtyard by Marriott Iloilo serves not only as your latest indulgence in the city—it is also your gateway to exploring what Western Visayas has to offer.
