Cebu City, Philippines — Marco Polo Plaza Cebu takes another step in redefining hospitality with the launch of “Paws & Chill,” the hotel’s official pet-friendly stay program. This new offering marks a milestone in the hotel’s ongoing commitment to creating meaningful and inclusive experiences—this time, extending its signature warmth and comfort to furry family members.
Through Paws & Chill, dogs and cats weighing up to 20 kilograms are now welcome to stay with their owners in specially designated pet-friendly rooms. Each pet guest receives a welcome kit featuring cozy essentials such as a pet bed, absorbent pad, food and water bowls, dental stick or toy, and waste bags, ensuring a comfortable and seamless experience for both pets and owners.
“Paws & Chill is all about sharing the Marco Polo experience with every member of the family,” shared General Manager Maximilian Schwalbe. “We’ve seen how travel habits have evolved—our guests consider their pets as true companions. This program is our way of making their stays more enjoyable, inclusive, and relaxing.”
Guests checking in with their pets can expect easy procedures, including a dedicated check-in process, pet-friendly floor assignments, and enhanced room sanitation protocols for cleanliness and safety. To maintain harmony throughout the property, pets are welcome in select areas such as the elevated section of El Viento Restaurant and Pool Bar, where guests can dine and unwind together.
The Paws & Chill program is designed for comfort and convenience, reflecting Marco Polo Plaza Cebu’s thoughtful approach to modern hospitality. By blending the hotel’s tranquil environment with genuine care, it promises an experience where every stay feels both relaxing and paw-some.
