With a mere 30-minute drive from the domestic and international airports, Seda Central Bloc is a prime location that puts you within reach of all the city offers. It’s near Cebu’s best attractions – Magellan’s Cross, National Museum of Cebu, Casa Gordo Museum, Temple of Leah, Tops Lookout, and more.
For foodies who want to dive into the local food scene, there’s the Sugbo Mercado food market (a 5-minute walk from Seda!), Larsian for a selection of grilled meat and seafood, or the Taboan market for local delicacies you can take home.
But for those whose preferences lie within the convenience of airconditioned buildings, Seda Central Bloc has direct access to Ayala Malls Central Bloc via a short walkway from the hotel lobby. After a day of seeing the sights, enjoy a well-deserved retail therapy session, a movie night, or sate your hankering for a good meal.
Premium comfort
Seda Central Bloc Cebu boasts 214 rooms, a combination of hotel rooms, suites, and serviced apartments for every type of traveler. Whether you’re in the city for a quick weekend getaway or an extended stay, there’s a room to suit your needs.
Seda’s Deluxe Room provides all the essentials—a twin or king bed, a private bathroom, LED HDTV with cable, complimentary WiFi, and a minibar. But for those who want to enjoy a longer stay, the Serviced Residences go beyond a hotel room for that ‘home away from home’ experience.
Choose from studio, one-bedroom, two-bedroom, or even three-bedroom apartment-style suites, offering ample living space – up to a generous 90 square meters. Enjoy the convenience of a separate living and dining area, master bedrooms with king beds, and even a washer and dryer for longer visits. Serviced Residences also have a dedicated fully-equipped kitchenette for whipping up meals at your leisure. Each has cutlery and essential appliances like a microwave, toaster, and rice cooker.
With all these options, Seda Central Bloc Cebu can comfortably accommodate solo travelers, couples, groups, and families of all sizes.
Champion of environmental sustainability
Your Cebu escape doesn’t have to come at the expense of the environment, and Seda Central Bloc makes sure of that. Beyond the comfort and convenience they provide, the hotel is deeply committed to environmental sustainability. It’s a chance to make a positive impact, even while you travel.
They go beyond words with impressive initiatives like ditching single-use plastic water bottles in favor of refillable glass ones. This simple switch significantly reduces plastic waste, and it’s just one of the ways Seda Central Bloc Cebu is working towards a greener future for Cebu’s beautiful island.
Seda Central Bloc also implements energy-saving measures, water conservation, and responsible waste management. They go above and beyond with their impressive “The Green Initiative” project, which covers 100 sqm of roof space with a cutting-edge 53 KWP (kilowatt peak) solar panel system. This state-of-the-art Japanese technology significantly reduces the hotel’s carbon footprint by offsetting harmful emissions from traditional power sources.
It offers a culinary adventure
Who says staying at a hotel puts a limit on your inner foodie? Seda’s Misto restaurant begs to differ. Inspired by the Italian word ‘Misto,’ which means ‘mixed,’ the all-day dining restaurant has all sorts of dishes for adventurous taste buds.
Indulge in fresh rolls at the sushi bar, or ask the chef to whip up a mixed seafood plate on the spot. Slurp a satisfying bowl of flavorful noodles or create your own healthy dish at the extensive salad bar. Misto even boasts a signature dish—a whole Cebu lechon, perfectly grilled to crispy perfection using the kitchen’s state-of-the-art griller.
No meal is complete without dessert, and Misto doesn’t disappoint. From the decadent candy and chocolate fountain to an enticing array of cake bites, a halo-halo bar, and an ice cream station, there’s something to satisfy every sweet tooth craving.
Mornings are just as delightful. The breakfast spread transforms to offer a tempting selection of cereals, comforting arroz caldo (chicken porridge), an extensive bread basket, and all your classic Filipino breakfast favorites.
It’s perfect for relaxing at night
End your day on a high note at Straight Up, Seda Central Bloc Cebu’s premier rooftop bar – the only one within Cebu I.T. Park. It’s the perfect destination for a much-needed nightcap. Unwind and soak in the beautiful Cebu skyline as you sip your favorite beverage (from mango shakes to the hardest liquor). It opens from 5 PM to 1 AM and welcomes guests of all ages. Straight Up is the perfect place to unwind, socialize, or simply admire the city lights.
There are so many things you can do in Cebu City, but the key to an unforgettable visit is staying at a hotel that offers the perfect blend of comfort, convenience, and sustainability for your island adventure.
Its prime location places you just steps away from must-see sights and the vibrant Ayala Central Bloc. Whether you crave a cozy hotel room, a spacious suite, or the comfort of a serviced apartment (complete with a kitchenette!), Seda Central Bloc caters to every travel style.
