LOCATION matters and Rogen Inn is in the heart of the city. Tucked in the corner of Mt. Apo and Lopez Jaena Streets in the downtown area, the newest hospitality establishment in Davao can be reached via several road options. Likewise, these roads offer the same convenient avenues for guests to reach a desired destination: the quickest route within the center, and towards the north and south of the city.
When you’re in Davao for business or leisure and staying at Rogen Inn, here is a quick guide to how far you are from the key hotspots and destinations in the city.
First, let’s get settled. Rogen Inn is 9.6 kilometers away from the Francisco Bangoy International Airport, a 21-minute drive. If you’re arriving from elsewhere around the region with a car, you’ll be happy to know that parking is not a problem at Rogen Inn. The wide parking area guarantees you a spot no matter what time of day you arrive.
Hungry and craving for some local food? Within the Rogen Inn compound are the best homegrown restaurants—Marina Tuna, Boiling Crab and Habi at Kape. A Craving for more? It’s a short walk to the other well-loved local restaurants, like Papa Chings, Dencia’s and Cecille’s.
If it’s a medical trip that brings you to town, a prominent health facility is not too far away. Davao Doctors Hospital is 350 meters away, one minute drive and four minutes on foot, Brokenshire Medical Center is a 4-minute drive away and the Davao Medical Schools Foundation is 5-minute away by car.
Perhaps shopping is on top of your list. Gaisano Grand CitiMall is a two-minute walk 400 meters away. GMall is 1.3 kilometers away, five-minute drive or 16-minute walk; Victoria Plaza, 2.2 kilometers away, is an eight-minute drive; and Abreeza Mall is 11 minutes by car at 2.9 kilometers away. SM City Davao and SM Lanang Premier are both 18-minute drive away to the south and north respectively.
Rogen Inn is walking distance from the city center’s points of interests for tourists. The People’s Park is 600 meters away (8-minute walk); the San Pedro Square, where the Davao City Hall, Rizal, Osmeña and Quezon parks, and San Pedro Cathedral are, is only a 15-minute walk away. But if it’s a holy mass you need to hear, St. Jude Parish is a closer 2-minute walk. or the Assumption Parish is also an option a kilometer away, 18 minutes on foot or a 2-minute drive.
The new city spots like the Poblacion Central Market (the new version of the Aldevinco Shopping Center in a new home) is only a 12-minute walk away. In the same area is the Roxas Night Market, should you want some street food and do flea market shopping.
Fruits you say? If it’s not peddled on the streets, then Bankerohan Public Market is the place to go. It’s only 900 meters away or a quick 9-minute walk. Or you can opt to head to Magsaysay Park where the fruit stands offer a street side “dining” on local fruits. You might as well explore the area, too. The Chinatown Arch is the gateway to the largest Chinatown (by area) in the country, and Magsaysay Park is where the Tribal Village is for a peek of the 11 tribes of Davao,
Need to relax after a full day of exploring the city or transacting business? Rogen Inn, your home in the city, houses Elements Salon within its compound. The salon also offers day spa services. Drop in or book for a pampering service.
Rogen Inn is a wise choice for its location, dining options and most importantly, its budget-friendly rates that offers a hotel vibe.
