The Crown Regency Hotel and Towers is a hotel complex in Cebu City, Philippines. The main building, the 45-storey Fuente Tower 1, is one of the taller hotel buildings in the country at about 160 meters (520 feet). It used to be the tallest building in Cebu City[2] until it was eclipsed in 2015 by the first tower of Horizons 101, which stood at 178 metres (584 feet).
The top 38th of the hotel tower feature an amusement facility which includes a roller coaster that runs around the edge of the building, and a stroll around the edge of the building with the protection of safety harnesses. There is also an elevator going from the 18th floor (Sky Lobby) all the way to the 38th floor and providing a great view of Barangay Capitol Site, Cebu City.[3]
