Seda is the Spanish word for silk, and it is the name of the
Ayala chain of hotels that have opened in key cities in the Philippines. I'm
going to write here about the one I stayed in for two nights in Cagayan de Oro.
Seda Centrio is a development by the Ayala Land Hotels and
Resorts and the Floirendo's Anflo Group. This boutique hotel opened only last
December 2012, and features a sleek, modern design -- with Paco Guerrero
paintings adorning its walls, and a lobby designed by renowned architect Conrad
Onglao.
1. Location
It's right smack in the heart of the city, just 30 minutes
away from the airport. It is right beside the upscale Centrio mall. Though it
shares space with the mall, there's a private entrance that takes guests up to
the 4th floor front desk.
Down the road from the hotel are several dining options, as
well as nightlife spots.
2. Rooms

There is a complimentary wifi, but it was rather slow.
Faster wifi could be availed of for a fee.
I checked into a deluxe room on the 11th floor, which has a
nice, big comfortable bed and a nice city view of Cagayan de Oro from the
window.
The bathrooms have toiletries that are environmentally
friendly -- these containers are fully biodegradable.
3. Executive Lounge
There's an Executive Club Lounge that's for exclusive access
to those who check into the Club or Premiere Rooms. Their lounge offers all-day
refreshments and cocktails, and splendid night-time views of the Maharlika
highway.
4. Other amenities
Misto restaurant serves buffet breakfast from 6:30-9:00 am, and
the spread is yummy but quite basic. There's an adults and children's pool,
plus a gym.
