Stay and Savor: Park Inn by Radisson Iloilo Brings You Into the Heart of Ilonggo Cuisine



Iloilo City’s recognition as the Philippines’ first UNESCO Creative City of Gastronomy sets the stage for Park Inn by Radisson Iloilo to shine as the premier gateway to the region’s authentic culinary heritage. More than a hotel, it has embraced the role of cultural advocate—inviting travelers to experience Iloilo not only as a festival capital, but as a world-class destination where history and flavor converge. Conveniently located in Mandurriao and directly linked to SM City Iloilo, Park Inn is the natural starting point for any true Ilonggo food journey.


Strategically located in the Mandurriao district and directly connected to SM City Iloilo, the hotel serves as the essential first stop for any definitive Iloilo food crawl. 


"Iloilo’s soul shines brightest through its food and its history, but its future is carried by its people," says Rouel Guanzon, General Manager. " With the launch of “Beyond the Plate” program alongside our 'Ilonggo Heritage Menu Series,' we are honoring the storied legacies of Ilonggo families while simultaneously upskilling the local talent that will sustain our city as a global culinary landmark."


This commitment to the city’s global standing is solidified through "Beyond the Plate," a strategic collaboration with the Iloilo MICE Center. Launched in 2025, the program establishes Park Inn by Radisson Iloilo as a key driver for upskilling Ilonggo talent.

Complementing this focus on talent is the "Ilonggo Heritage Series" at the signature Ani Restaurant. This curated program transforms dining into a storytelling experience. The menu draws creative inspiration from the stories that have shaped the region’s identity, bridging the gap between the spirit of intimate family kitchens and the global stage.

Guests can savor the Adobado nga Lukon, which pays homage to the seafaring heritage of the Varona family, or experience the Bibingka, inspired by the festive warmth synonymous with the Gorriceta-Jalandoni family. The series also features Pancit Molo, a dish that honors the soul-warming, iconic tradition of Kap Ising. 


Adobo nga Baboy sa Istiwitis


Building on the success of this series, Ani Restaurant will soon introduce themed dining packages designed for guests to forge a deeper connection to the province’s defining flavors. These upcoming offerings represent the hotel's commitment to being more than just a place of rest—it is a space where Iloilo’s storied past meets its vibrant future.
