MACTAN, CEBU — Fairfield, Mactan’s first-ever Marriott city hotel, officially opens on December 19, 2025, marking a new chapter for the island’s hospitality landscape. The hotel forms part of Mahi Center (with the mall being set to open the day prior), a mixed-use commercial property owned and developed by AppleOne Group, signaling the group’s continued vision to elevate hospitality in Cebu.
Fairfield showcases a modern, intuitive design and offers 89 standard twin rooms, 94 standard queen rooms, and 13 deluxe queen rooms, totaling 196 rooms. It also features two flexible meeting spaces covering 256.22 sqm, a fitness center, and an all-day dining restaurant. Guests can expect smart amenities, attentive service, and a serene atmosphere—all reflected in the property’s warm, Scandinavian-inspired aesthetic. This thoughtful blend of design and world-class hospitality raises the bar for Cebu’s urban hotel scene.
Located just five minutes from the Mactan-Cebu International Airport (MCIA), Fairfield by Marriott Cebu Mactan offers travelers a seamless balance of comfort, convenience, and the signature warmth of Filipino hospitality. Designed for both business and leisure, the property serves as an ideal base for exploring Cebu’s sights, culture, and coasts.
Mactan’s next chapter
As AppleOne’s second Marriott-branded property, following the Sheraton Cebu Mactan Resort, Fairfield brings a distinct “bleisure” approach to the island by bridging the energy of the city with the ease of resort living. Its strategic location within Mahi Center places guests in a growing hub where business, dining, and lifestyle converge, offering a stay that feels both connected and uncomplicated.
“Fairfield by Marriott Cebu Mactan represents more than just a new hotel. It’s an invitation to experience Cebu with greater ease and authenticity,” shares Dottie V. Würgler, multi-property general manager of Sheraton Cebu Mactan and Fairfield by Marriott Cebu Mactan. “We’re excited to welcome guests into a space where comfort, convenience, and genuine care come together, right here at the gateway of Mactan.”
Gateway to discover Cebu
Fairfield’s location makes it an ideal base for exploring Mactan and beyond. Its proximity to world-class beaches, heritage attractions, dive sites, and commercial hubs gives guests easy access to both leisure and business destinations, whether they’re seeking a sun-soaked weekend, a culinary escape, or a quick work trip that maximizes every minute.
The hotel’s opening also comes at a time when Cebu continues to rebuild and move forward, making Fairfield’s debut a fitting reflection of the island’s quiet resilience and steady progress.
Mahi Center comes to life
The launch of Fairfield marks Mahi Center’s first operational milestone as Mactan’s newest lifestyle destination. This vibrant development blends business, leisure, and community with an expanding lineup of brands, including Lapu-Lapu City’s first-ever ABACA Baking Company, S&R New York Style Pizza, and the return of the area’s only KFC. Additional tenants span food & beverage, retail & personal care, technology stores, and more, creating a lively hub for locals and visitors alike.
“This opening is deeply personal for us,” shares Samantha Manigsaca, VP for hospitality at AppleOne Group. “Cebu has always been our home, and every project we build is rooted in that connection. With Fairfield by Marriott Cebu Mactan, we wanted to create a place that reflects Mactan’s quiet strength and optimism. A space where people can come together, feel cared for, and experience what makes Cebu so special.”
Fairfield by Marriott Cebu Mactan officially opens on Dec. 19, 2025, welcoming guests to a new era of city hospitality, defined by simplicity, sincerity, and heart.
