Dusit Thani Mactan, Nustar Cebu included in Michelin Guide 

The Department of Tourism (DOT) welcomed the inclusion of Dusit Thani Mactan Cebu Resort and NUSTAR Cebu in the prestigious Michelin Guide’s Recommended Hotels list, according to a report by Manila Standard.

“This global recognition reaffirms Cebu’s standing as a world-class destination and shines a spotlight on DOT-accredited properties that inspire more travelers to Love The Philippines,” the DOT said in a social media post.

The Michelin Guide said the two hotels set a new tone for luxury in Cebu and offer intuitive service.

“On a rising stretch of Cebu’s south coast, NUSTAR Hotel is part city hotel, part island escape, with high-floor views, bold interiors, and space to properly unwind. Rooms and suites are oversized, with deep soaking tubs and floor-to-ceiling windows that look out over sea or skyline. There is an ease to the place, but the energy picks up in the tasting room, lounge, and pool villas,” Michelin said.

It also recognized Dusit Thani Mactan for bringing together Filipino warmth and Thai hospitality, offering intuitive service and one of the most impressive infinity pools in the region. “Rooms are bright and comfortable, many with balconies made for sunset-watching,” the Michelin said on its website.

The addition of NUSTAR and Dusit Thani Mactan brings to 13 the number of Philippine establishments in Michelin Guide’s hotel recommendations list.

Previously listed were Amanpulo, Hotel Okura Manila, The Peninsula Manila, Admiral Hotel Manila – MGallery, Crimson Resort & Spa Mactan and the Nay Palad Hideaway Siargao, followed by Fairmont Makati, Manila Marriott Hotel at Newport World Resorts, Solaire Resort Entertainment City, Raffles Makati and Shangri-La The Fort, Manila.
