Admiral Baysuites: Iconic hotel reinvents as an upscale address

MANILA, Philippines - The redevelopment of Admiral Hotel, once the beacon of seafarers and the hub of the Philippine elite during the pre-war era, is well underway.

Situated at the premier side of Roxas Blvd, it is now being renovated as an European-inspired luxury boutique hotel and a 53-story residential condominium called the Admiral Baysuites.

The landmark hotel, which once catered to some of the world’s most prominent figures such as Gen. Douglas MacArthur and Lord Mountbatten,  has become symbolic of the elegance and romantic charm of Old Manila.

As Admiral Baysuites, the structure will fuse timeless designs with ultra-modern amenities, making it both a classic and a cosmopolitan residence along the picturesque waters of Manila Bay.

The new Admiral Baysuites will impress with its spectacular views, extraordinary white glove service and, at the top of the list, its much-anticipated premier club amenities.

Covering an area of 4,716 square meters, the club development features two floors of premium amenities meant to enthuse and impress.

The function room is not only elegantly furnished; it also comes complete with a bar and food preparation area. It is large enough to seat 120 people and is lit by ornate chandeliers, with deep floor carpets and an outdoor view.

The northern end of the East Tower elevator lobby connects directly to a gallery of contemporary and classic paintings and sketches showing how life was in colonial and post-colonial Manila – a very apropos and thoughtful addition to the property given that Admiral Baysuites is a historical masterpiece in itself.

Admiral Baysuites comes loaded with game rooms, a KTV room,  mini-theater, music room,  gym with state-of-the-art equipment, 25-meter lap pools, a children’s pool and a juice bar. Other amenities in the property include a poker room, billiards room, poolside lounge, spa, VIP lounge and piano bar, cigar room, al fresco dining area, wine cellar, and English garden at the roof deck.

But the opulence doesn’t stop with the amenities. Residents of Admiral Baysuites also have access to the rare, ultra-personalized, white glove level of service offered by its hotel, which includes concierge, security and housekeeping services.
