07 Sep Seda Hotel Centrio: The Perfect Epitome of Class, Elegance, Modernity and Known to be the Best Business Hotel in Cagayan de Oro
A rising star city and the validly recognized gateway to Northern Mindanao deserves only the best 4-star hotel that feels like 5 stars, and Seda Hotel Centrio is the first and the best with this 4-star recognition; in fact, 4.5 stars to be exact as accredited by the Department of Tourism.
In fact, its great location, outstanding customer service, and superior hospitality experience along with its world class quality facilities and rooms are the reasons why after only opening in December 29, 2013, Seda Centrio Hotel has garnered:
- Winner of the 2014 World Travel Awards, Philippines’ Leading Hotel Group, and,
- 2014 Certificate of Excellence from Trip Advisor.
These two awards alone in such a short span of time shows the superior quality as all Seda Hotels in the Philippines tend to give out.
The hotel uniquely shares its building structure with the Ayala Centrio Mall below it, thus, the Seda Centrio’s main entrance and lobby area begins only on its 4th floor, accessible only by an exclusive private entrance.

The front desk and lobby area is unorthodox in its design with its contemporary layout leading into its e-lounge and the Misto Restaurant and bar.
Further inside are the meeting rooms and “al fresco” dining room eventually leading to the “Infinity Pool” area.
Seda is Smooth as Silk
Seda Hotels are under the umbrella of Ayala Land Hotels and Resorts Corporation, aside from owning Raffles Makati and Cebu Marriot. The Seda line was an idea for owning and managing a homegrown Filipino hotel rather than franchising international names, thus, establishing a Philippine name for international hotel recognition.
Unique Chess Board
“Seda” is an old Filipino word meaning “silk.” It can also be a sweeping word to mean “cocoon” or “woven silk.” Thus, the word Seda aptly describes all Ayala hotels bearing the name Seda that they can run “smooth as silk.” Seda Centrio is another in a line of Ayala Hotels along with Seda Abreeza, Seda Nuvali, and Seda Atria.
The concept of Seda Hotels is a commercial community based on convenience, comfort, and accessibility equally based on a trio of hotel-mall-condominium, all three almost connected to each other or near to each other in just one location. All Ayala hotels carrying the Seda name already carry out this common concept.

Misto Restaurant at Seda Hotel Centrio
About Cdo Team with Ms. Angela Pupos
Misto Restaurant and bar is a unique dining experience and medley of international dishes with a different perspective compared to other hotels since it is not just a restaurant only for hotel guests.
Misto Restaurant Buffet
Misto is a restaurant and bar that can stand alone from the hotel, offering dining services for even non-hotel guests due to their unique chef’s choice buffets.
The business lunch buffet from Monday to Friday features international dishes at only P499. In the evenings their buffets are at P599; Mondays and Tuesdays is chef’s choice buffet; Wednesday and Thursdays is Mid-week International buffet; Friday is Seafood Fiesta buffet, Saturdays is barbecue buffet, and Sundays is family brunch buffet.
One of Misto’s Specialties – The Clubhouse
Aside from Seda Centrio’s international chefs, they also have a “chef’s exchange program” wherein different chefs from the different Seda Hotels come to cook at Seda Centrio.

The two meeting rooms are capable of accommodating up to 14 persons, while its two “Sinamay” function rooms can accommodate between 80 persons. When both Sinamay rooms are opened, a total of 160 persons can be accommodated. The function rooms can be converted into a reception hall, banquet hall, theatre, classroom, or boardroom.
The “al fresco” area can also be opened or connected to the function rooms to accommodate some 150 persons for really big functions. Being a business hotel, Seda Centrio focuses more on special business functions like business meetings, seminars, workshops, and the like.
