CEBU — A new hotel brand has already welcomed its first guests. But the real party is just about to start. Cebu Landmasters Inc. (CLI) is setting the stage for a vibrant public unveiling of Radisson RED Cebu Mandaue, the first Radisson RED property in the Philippines. Mark your calendars for May 6, 2026, at 10:00 a.m., when the doors of Astra Lifestyle Centre in Mandaue City will swing open for a "Hotel Opening Event" that promises to be anything but ordinary. With the teaser phrase "Unlock the Red," the celebration will showcase the property’s bold, art‑inspired, tech‑forward spirit—and invite everyone to experience a fresh take on hospitality.
Beyond the Soft Launch: The Grand Reveal
The hotel has been quietly operational since April 22, 2026, when CLI announced the ₱1.99‑billion Radisson RED Cebu Mandaue as its fifth operational hotel property. But the May 6 celebration is positioned as its true coming‑out party. Mathias Bergundthal, First Vice President for CLI Hotels and Resorts, called the entry of Radisson RED “a market with strong and growing demand,” adding that the project reflects CLI’s focus on “well located, thoughtfully designed developments that respond to evolving and diverse travel and lifestyle needs”. The event will be held at Astra Centre along A.S. Fortuna Street, a mixed‑use hub that already houses a lifestyle mall, residential condominium, and office spaces.
A Tour of the Senses: What Awaits on May 6
Stepping into Radisson RED Cebu Mandaue feels less like checking into a hotel and more like entering a curated art space with a social pulse. The centrepiece of the lobby is a life‑size jeepney installation—a custom artwork created by renowned Cebuano artist Vito Selma—which serves as a cultural anchor, grounding the global “RED” lifestyle brand in local Cebuano heritage. The 144‑key property offers five room categories, from Superior and Deluxe to Family rooms, Junior Suites, and Executive Suites, each blending contemporary design with practical features such as high‑speed connectivity and streaming‑enabled smart TVs.
Food and beverage facilities include OUIBAR+KTCHN, a Mediterranean‑inspired restaurant; RED Deli for Asian takeaway; and The RED Deck, a poolside bar for cocktails and bar chow. The hotel also features a 24‑hour fitness center, a full‑service spa, a swimming pool, and flexible event venues such as The Studio, The Loft, and the RED Room, which are designed for meetings, social gatherings, and private functions.
Cebu Landmasters’ Hospitality Push
Radisson RED Cebu Mandaue joins Citadines Cebu City, lyf Cebu City, The Pad Co‑Living, and Citadines Bacolod City in CLI’s growing hospitality portfolio. The opening supports CLI’s strategy to diversify beyond its core residential business, expanding a recurring‑income base through hospitality assets. CLI currently has 10 hotel projects with 1,719 room keys, of which 827 are operational. Upcoming developments include Mercure Cebu Downtown (slated to open by the end of 2026) and Citadines Paragon Davao (expected in early 2026). Bergundthal noted that CLI “continue(s) to see opportunities to grow our hospitality footprint in key cities across Visayas and Mindanao,” with this new property “strengthening our presence in the region as we expand our hospitality portfolio alongside urban growth”.
‘A New Vibrant Stay Experience’
For early birds, the event is a chance to experience what Radisson RED brand promises: a hotel that functions as a social hub, works as a remote‑work space, and plays as a nightlife destination. The event runs from 10:00 a.m. at Astra Lifestyle Centre, which is easily accessible from key business hubs such as Cebu IT Park, Cebu Business Park, and Mactan‑Cebu International Airport. Between the jeepney art, the rooftop views, the Mediterranean‑inspired menu, and the promise of weekend events, Radisson RED is expected to become a magnet for the young, design‑conscious traveler and the business professional alike. As the event invites the public to “unlock the red,” Cebu’s hospitality scene is set to get a lot more colorful.
