Raffles Makati

About this hotel

General information

Raffles Makati is an intimate all-suite hotel in a 30-storey tower in Makati's business district, the financial heart of Manila. There are just 32 suites, and every guest is looked after by a Raffles butler, from in-suite registration on arrival to packing the shopping on departure. Floor-to-ceiling windows frame the city, while the interiors pair wooden floors and marble bathrooms with pieces from the hotel's own art collection.

The day follows familiar Raffles rituals: breakfast for suite guests, afternoon tea and evening cocktails in the Writers Bar, a signature sling in the Long Bar. The ninth floor holds an open-air pool reserved for hotel guests and the Provençal restaurant Mirèio, with a rooftop bar one level up for sunset. For longer stays, Raffles Residences offers apartments with fully equipped kitchens.

Location

The hotel stands in Makati's business district within Manila, a short walk from office towers and a city museum. Manila's international airport is about 15–20 minutes by car from each of its three terminals; the concierge arranges transfers both ways on advance request, and taxis are easy to find.

Spa

Fairmont Spa, around 1,200 m² on the fourth floor, has five treatment rooms, spa suites, a Great Room, a eucalyptus steam room and a relaxation room. The menu covers massages, scrubs and facials with Aromatherapy Associates products; the two-and-a-half-hour Fairmont Spa Experience draws on traditional Filipino techniques, and there is a side-by-side massage for two. A hair salon sits alongside. The spa is open daily from 8am to 10pm.

Sports & leisure

The fitness centre, with modern equipment, a stretching area and city views, is open around the clock (attended 6am–10pm); the 26-metre open-air pool on the ninth floor is open from 6am to 10pm. Butlers arrange a tour of the hotel's art collection, afternoon tea and spa treatments, as well as outings into Philippine culture and the country's natural landscapes.

For children

Raffles Residences guests staying five nights or more have access to an indoor children's play area.
