Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Ayala Avenue sits outside the doors, with Greenbelt and Glorietta shopping centres a short walk down the street.
The rooms
Suites are laid out like private apartments, with floor-to-ceiling windows, Italian marble baths, and dedicated pillow menus.
Pool, hammam and gym
Bring a swimsuit.
A 20-meter heated infinity pool overlooks the city, steps from a marble Turkish hammam and a 24-hour gym.
The spa
Terazi Spa draws on traditional Filipino Hilot bodywork, set along fluted-wood corridors and quiet treatment suites.
Dogs stay too.
Restaurant
Tapenade
Mediterranean dishes and stone-baked pizzas come from an open kitchen, alongside a dedicated salad room.

On the sixteenth floor, Josper-charcoal grills and open marble counters look out across the Makati skyline.
