Living the Picasso way
MANILA, Philippines - Amid the hustle and bustle of Makati city, the Picasso Serviced Boutique Residences basks in unique artistic genius and great visual mastery. The Picasso transforms the look and feel of serviced residences, offering guests the ambiance of a five-star hotel with friendly and personalized service that makes one feel right at home. It targets the young professionals and those who are always on the go. It is an escape from the chaos of the city.
It all started with Ardent Property Development Corporation’s vision to use modern concepts to transform an old apartment building into a unique residence that caters to contemporary businessmen and travelers. As the name suggests, The Picasso was inspired by one of the most renowned visual artists of the 20th century, Pablo Picasso. The designer serviced residences boast an artistic theme that plays around the concept of Cubism, which the renowned Picasso himself founded.
The Picasso media launch brought a night of relaxing music. Guests were also given a tour around the serviced boutique residences to take a peek into what they have to offer. Many were in awe, as The Picasso has proven itself to be very much different from the countless contemporary hotels that can be found all around the city. The night ended on a successful note as the guests and media left impressed by the distinctive charm and beauty of The Picasso.
A delightful canvas of lines, stunning patterns, and eclectic palettes surround the property. The studios and one-bedroom units are very luxurious with a 45- and 88- square-meter space, respectively. The Picasso’s art theme reaches its full expression in its art program. Positioned to be not just another property with art but as an engine for art, the lobby and common areas exhibit works by modern and avant-garde Filipino artists. There is also an art gallery space on the third floor that hosts openings, workshops, and art talks. The Picasso promises a diversion from the noise of the passing cars and the heat of the gray pavement.
In addition to its stylish exteriors and luxurious designs, the Picasso offers guests all the amenities they need to ensure a relaxing whilst exciting stay by providing plasma televisions, room service, housekeeping, personalized concierge services, and more. This fine art of living is managed professionally by Hospitality International Incorporated (HII).
Also found in the serviced residences is the Qi Wellness Spa which specializes in treatments that relax the body and mind; Studio 119 which offers hair pampering at its finest; a function room which is complete with equipment, such as projector, flip charts, and sound system; a two-floor gym that showcases a breathtaking view of the city; and a WiFi lounge which is open 24 hours to guests.
On top of it all, The Picasso also has a delicious treat for every palate. The Brasserie Boheme, by Cebu’s favorite The Gustavian, captivates taste buds with their eclectic menu and turns into a bar at night for those looking for a cocktail to cap their evening.
