Meeting facilities
Marco Polo Plaza has 7 function rooms and 1 grand balcony. These event spaces can be used in 16 different ways
depending on our guest’s requirements. The total area available for events is over 3,600 square meters with the
grand balcony occupying the biggest space at 1,480 square meters and the Cebu Grand Ballroom at 1,000 square
meters.
The Cebu Grand Ballroom recently underwent a major renovation which involved an expansion and improvements on
aesthetics and facilities. From its original size of 756 square meters with the capability to accommodate 500
guests on a banquet set-up, it is now 1,099.6 square meters with the ability to accommodate up to 800 guests.
It can also be divided in three different ways, making it a more flexible venue for different kinds of events.
The first event held at the newly renovated ballroom was the APEC Summit 2015.
One of the special features that the hotel takes pride in is having a magnificent view of the city. This has
been incorporated to some of our event spaces that offer natural lighting and breathtaking views. For a better
look, bring your event outdoors! Marco Polo Plaza is the only hotel in Cebu with a grand balcony which offers
a refreshing open space and a beautiful view of nature and the city skyline. It is famous for the hotel’s
iconic New Year’s Eve countdown party where one can view the fireworks all over the city from 600 feet above
sea level.
