As Iloilo City celebrates its status as the Philippines’ first UNESCO Creative City of Gastronomy, Park Inn by Radisson Iloilo is positioning itself as the premier gateway to the region’s authentic food heritage. The hotel has evolved into a dedicated cultural advocate, ensuring that travelers experience Iloilo not just as a festival hub, but as a world-class destination where flavor and history converge.
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.
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.
Whether through an inspiring shared meal or the professional development of the community, Park Inn by Radisson Iloilo stands as the ultimate gateway to the region
