First Look Inside the Newly Renovated Grand Regal Hotel Davao Rooms and Suites

There’s something refreshing about seeing a familiar Davao landmark evolve with time. During my recent visit to Grand Regal Hotel Davao, I had the chance to personally tour their newly renovated rooms that now embrace a more refined and contemporary hospitality experience. 

Long recognized as one of Davao City’s iconic hotels for weddings, business functions, and large-scale events, Grand Regal is entering a new era through thoughtfully upgraded interiors that balance modern elegance with everyday comfort. From the stylish Premier Rooms to the expansive Presidential Suite, each space feels brighter, more elevated, and intentionally designed for today’s travelers. 

Located along J.P. Laurel Avenue in Lanang, the hotel remains highly accessible to major business hubs, shopping centers, and the airport, making it ideal for both business stays and weekend staycations.

Premier Room — Modern Comfort with an Elevated City View

The newly redesigned Premier Room immediately introduces a polished modern-classic aesthetic, moving away from the hotel’s previous traditional style. 

One of the room’s standout features is the dramatic dark teal and charcoal textured accent wall framed with clean white crown molding. At the center sits a tall arched leather headboard in a warm brown tone that instantly becomes the focal point of the space.

The plush white bedding is layered with terracotta colored pillows and an elegant patterned bed runner, adding warmth against the darker tones of the room. Soft ambient lighting from the sleek rectangular bedside lamps creates a calm and upscale atmosphere, especially during nighttime. 

The room also includes light wood side tables, a vanity console with mirror, and comfortable accent seating that make the space functional for both leisure and work. 

Positioned on the higher floors of the tower, the Premier Rooms offer relaxing panoramic views of the Davao skyline and portions of the Davao Gulf. Something guests will especially appreciate during sunrise and evening city lights. 

Executive Room — Refined and Spacious for Business or Leisure 

Located on the hotel’s 14th floor, the Executive Room is designed for guests looking for additional space and upgraded comfort. 

The layout provides generous legroom along with a dedicated sitting area, making it suitable for longer stays or business travelers who need a more relaxed environment. 

This room features twin beds accented with deep olive-green and black runners paired with custom pillows that complement the room’s elegant palette. Behind the bed is a rich teal-blue feature wall softly illuminated by warm bedside lighting.

Following the hotel’s recent room refresh, both the Premier and Executive Rooms now include upgraded essentials such as high-speed Wi-Fi, flat-screen televisions with digital cable, individually controlled air conditioning, minibars, in-room safes, complimentary bottled water, and complete bathroom amenities including dental kits and hot-and-cold shower facilities.

Premier Suite / Bridal Suite — Designed for Wedding Preparations and Luxury Stays 

One of the most impressive spaces I toured was the Premier Suite, also known as the Bridal Suite, located on the hotel’s 12th floor suite level.

The suite feels intentionally curated for wedding mornings and intimate luxury stays. The separate lounge area features deep charcoal velvet Chesterfield sofas, marble tile flooring, premium accent lighting, and a textured dark wall complemented by metallic floral wall décor. 

At the center of the lounge sits a stunning mirrored dual-tier coffee table that adds glamour without overpowering the space. 

The bedroom area is separated from the lounge and includes a king-sized bed framed by an oversized padded headboard, along with a workspace and vanity setup beside expansive panoramic windows overlooking the city. 

Floor-to-ceiling sheer curtains paired with blackout drapes provide excellent lighting control, making the suite ideal for bridal preparation photoshoots and relaxed mornings before major celebrations. 

The suite also serves as one of the hotel’s premier preparation venues for weddings hosted at the newly renovated Grand Pilipinas Ballroom and The Glass House.

Executive Suite — Classic Luxury with Modern Updates 

The Executive Suite continues the hotel’s transition toward a more contemporary luxury experience while still maintaining the warmth of classic hotel living.

Positioned on the 12th-floor executive level, the suite features a fully separated living and bedroom layout that instantly gives a more residential and premium feel. 

The living room showcases Chesterfield sofas and matching armchairs upholstered in a soft neutral fabric palette. The newly upgraded glossy marble-pattern tile flooring helps brighten the entire suite while complementing the warm lighting elements throughout the space. 

For guests planning extended stays, business meetings, or intimate hosting setups, the Executive Suite offers both functionality and elegance in one space. 

Presidential Suite — Grand Regal’s New Flagship Luxury Experience 

The newly redesigned Presidential Suite is arguably the hotel’s most expansive and most luxurious accommodation.

Located on the 14th floor, the suite embraces a practical luxury concept with spacious layouts, modern finishes, and carefully curated furniture selections. 

The main living area is anchored by a large cream-colored sectional sofa placed over a statement abstract-pattern rug atop pristine marble flooring. Floor-to-ceiling windows framed with layered charcoal gray drapes and sheer curtains provide beautiful skyline views over the Lanang and Buhangin districts. 

Inside the separate master bedroom is an oversized super-king bed paired with tufted accent headboards and custom bedside lighting that gives the room a luxurious hotel-suite atmosphere. It also features a spacious dressing room that extends into the bathroom with separate shower and bathtub.

One of my favorite details inside the suite is the dining area. Olive-green leather dining chairs with brass stud detailing surround a dark glass-top dining table supported by a ribbed wooden pedestal base in a warm honey-oak finish. 

Above the space hangs a crystal-fringe chandelier softly illuminates the space and adds an elegant focal point that ties the entire suite together beautifully. 

Hotel Facilities & Location Advantage 

Beyond the room upgrades, guests staying at Grand Regal also have access to the hotel’s indoor swimming pool, fitness gym, sauna facilities, restaurants, and function spaces. The property continues to be one of Davao City’s most established venues for conferences, weddings, and corporate events. 

Its Lanang location also places guests close to: 

• SM Lanang Premier 
• Damosa Gateway 
• Davao International Airport 
• Major corporate offices and business districts 

For travelers looking for accessibility without sacrificing comfort, the location remains one of the hotel’s strongest advantages. 

This was my first time personally touring the hotel’s rooms, so I may not fully compare them to their previous designs, but I was genuinely pleasantly surprised by the quality and direction Grand Regal Hotel Davao is now offering through these renovated spaces.

After experiencing the walkthrough firsthand, I’m definitely looking forward to booking a proper stay soon and experiencing the upgraded accommodations beyond the tour itself.
