The new Robinsons Galleria Cebu sets itself apart with a well- planned Traveler’s Lounge, which provides efficient and convenient shuttle service to and from the Port of Cebu every half hour, giving the mall unmatched access to the rest of the Visayan region. This Traveler’s Lounge also provides travel

ticketing, baggage depository, and concierge services. A Lingkod Pinoy Center will also open at the Cebu mall.

The new Robinsons Galleria Cebu also offers its main atrium where the Cebuano’s passion for musicality is symbolical­ly captured through a grand foliage sculpture of its world- famous icon: the guitar. This at once speaks of the mall’s dedication to offering the Filipino brand of entertainm­ent in a worldclass stage and setting, where the central hall is expected to play host to many concerts, celebrity mall tours.

Robinsons Galleria Cebu Movieworld opens with six cutting-edge cinemas, employing only the most advanced screen projectors and surround sound technology. One is set to feature a VIP cinema, installed with 3D large screen format, Dolby Atmos, a full- service lounge that accepts online booking, its own snack and refreshmen­t counters and rest areas, as well as wide, reclining seats. Another cinema features the same superior 3D technology, best enjoyed with the influx of foreign animated films and epics, while the other cinemas feature innovative digital theaters.

The new Robinsons Galleria Cebu is designed with the main goal of sustainabi­lity in mind, setting a new green-print for responsibl­e commercial structures to come. Heeding the concerns of climate change and environmen­tal sustainabi­lity, the mall only utilizes energyeffi­cient lighting and air-conditioni­ng system throughout the mall, as well as water-conserving plumbing fixtures among its restrooms, and extends this thoughtful approach to its architectu­re. With tinted clerestory windows figuring prominentl­y at the mall’s expanse, the Robinsons Galleria Cebu invites ambient natural sunlight in while keeping the harmful UV rays and the heat out, thereby minimizing the use of light fixtures throughout the day. The mall also only utilizes innovative LED lighting technology. Its innovative approach to climate control use only the newest air conditioni­ng systems that utilize less energy, while keeping the mall pleasantly cool and refreshing throughout the day. Its rest areas only feature water-saving fixtures such as non-flush urinals and automatic faucets, and its plumbing design limits waste water through strategic water recycling. Solar panels will soon be installed in the roof deck of the mall.

By bringing the lush, verdant growth of the outside in, with its landscaped green zones replete with vertical gardens, refreshing water features, public rest spaces, and natural stone pathways, the mall’s environmen­tal design makes going through your shopping errands seem like a walk in the park. Its generous use of foliage greatly reduces carbon emissions in the area, be it in its lush outdoor spaces, or in the rest spaces indoors, where planters and pocket gardens are prominentl­y figured throughout the mall.

The new Robinsons mall will have the Galleria Residences, a taste of expansive high-rise living right at the heart of Cebu’s most progressiv­e front. With over 6,600 square meters, the Galleria Residences will feature three ultra-modern residentia­l towers that will offer spacious living areas, world-class leisure amenities, and contempora­ry convenienc­es.

Robinsons Galleria will also be complement­ed by the Summit Hotel Galleria Cebu, a hospitalit­y landmark with 220 well- appointed guest rooms, invigorati­ng resort-style amenities, function rooms and ballrooms, with direct access to Robinsons Galleria Cebu .
