Cagayan de Oro City is dubbed as the “City of Golden Friendship”.

CDO City, as it is informally called, lies within the business corridor of the mainland and is known to be the Gateway to Northern Mindanao. The city is a melting pot of different regional cultures that bonded into a strong, uniquely talented and ingenious population.
If you are visiting CDO for the first time, you will experience a marked difference in the way Kagay-anons welcome visitors in this city. More so in places where you can feel right at home, in hotels dotting the city and beyond.
In recent years when CDO became a convention capital in Mindanao, the business community started to build hotels and pension houses to keep up with the rising demand for affordable, clean and comfortable room and board.
