Raffles Makati

Raffles Makati is an architectural masterpiece set in the heart of the financial district in a striking 30-floor tower that is home to Raffles Makati, Raffles Residences Makati, and Fairmont Makati. Each of Raffles Makati’s 32 large suites has floor-to-ceiling windows, fabrics in a neutral colour palette and high ceilings. They are timelessly elegant, finished off with hardwood floors, luxurious velvet, damask and satin to match the antique furniture. On the ninth level is Mirèio, an elegant Provençal-inspired brasserie that has consistently been voted as one of the top restaurants in the country. One floor up, the Mirèio Terrace is a great spot for sundowners with views over the Makati skyline. You will find the Long Bar and the Writers Bar styled after the original outlets in Raffles Hotel, Singapore.

Art is a focus with more than 1,600 commissioned works on display throughout the rooms and common areas, mostly by Filipino artists. If you’re interested, you can take a tour with the in-house Art Concierge. There are two swimming pools, one is exclusively for Raffles guests, while the lap pool is shared with the adjacent Fairmont Hotel. There’s an excellent fitness centre and a Willow Stream spa. To those travelling and staying in Manila for a longer period, the residential units of Raffles Residences Makati are the ideal place to come home to.
