When in Cebu, are you looking for a place to leave your baggage, go for a clean toilet, buy a ticket and take a cold shower? You dont need to check-in in a hotel but this all can be done at SM Travel Lounge. This is SM’s service specially for transit travellers who just want to roam around the mall to eat and have a last minute shopping while waiting for their flight.
The first Travel Lounge I’ve been to was at SM Iloilo, conveniently located beside the Airport terminal van and the last time was at SM City Cebu. This is perfect for seabound passengers because of its close location to the pier. For a minimum amount of P100, one can leave their bags and take a refreshing cold shower (shampoo, soap & towel not included).
At SM Travel Lounge Cebu, there’s also a coffee shop inside, telephone booth although its not working yet.
yes it has been a good marketing strategy of SM Malls to have this kind of services, most SM malls i’ve been have transport terminal or close to terminals like in cebu, iloilo, bacolod and davao.
so far, not all SM have travel lounge.

Posted by Lilay at October 17, 2009, 5:46 pmi didn’t see any travellers lounge at SM Bacolod. They should put one coz its very close to the pier for those waiting transit to Iloilo.

Sounds like a novel idea from a mall, something I’ve never heard elsewhere. Is this available at all SM branches? Hope they have departure monitors for flights/sailings to make it easier for passengers.
