For travelers, loyalty today is no longer just about collecting points. It is about access, flexibility, and experiences that feel personal. Marco Polo Plaza Cebu takes a decisive step in this direction as it opens its doors to GHA DISCOVERY, the global rewards program of Global Hotel Alliance, bringing Cebu into a worldwide network of distinguished independent hotels.
With this integration, guests staying at Marco Polo Plaza Cebu become part of a community that spans more than 950 hotels across over 40 international brands. Whether traveling for business, leisure, or special occasions, members are rewarded not only for staying but for how they choose to experience each destination. From the first visit, guests can begin earning DISCOVERY Dollars (D$), a rewards currency designed for real-world use rather than future promises.
Unlike traditional loyalty schemes, DISCOVERY Dollars function like spending credit within participating hotels. Guests may apply them toward room charges, dining experiences, wellness treatments, or carefully curated activities. Members earn up to seven percent back on eligible transactions, while also enjoying privileges such as preferential rates, possible room upgrades, and flexible arrival and departure times when available. The program reflects a growing shift in hospitality toward rewarding engagement, not just frequency.
At Marco Polo Plaza Cebu, this global program is thoughtfully paired with local characters. The hotel introduces experiential offerings that invite guests to engage with Filipino flavors and culinary creativity. Hands-on activities such as an Adobo pizza cooking class for two or a dim sum making session with lunch at Hai Shin Lou Seafood King offer more than dining. They provide stories, skills, and shared moments that guests can take home with them.
This balance of international reach and local immersion reinforces Marco Polo Plaza Cebu’s identity as more than a city hotel. Perched in the hills of Cebu, the property has long been known for its panoramic views and refined service. Through GHA DISCOVERY, it strengthens its role as a gateway, connecting Cebuano hospitality to a global audience while giving guests meaningful reasons to return.
By joining GHA DISCOVERY, Marco Polo Plaza Cebu underscores a clear message: memorable stays are built on experiences, cultural connection, and rewards that matter in the moment. It is a move that positions the hotel at the intersection of global travel and authentic local discovery, offering guests the best of both worlds in one seamless journey.
