Luxury living with heritage at Raffles Residences

MANILA, Philippines - Raffles Residences Makati can boast of its being a true luxury residential property due to its pedigree belonging to the iconic Raffles brand. Raffles’ heritage began in 1890 with the opening of Raffles Singapore and continues to grow worldwide in select locations.

Coming into its own after a year of opening, the tower that houses the 280-room Fairmont Makati, 32 all-suite Raffles Makati and 237 Raffles Residences has already been gaining accolades such as the Best Hotel Architecture Design at the recent Philippine Property Awards.

One- to four-bedroom fully furnished posh apartments with modern interiors but with an old-world feel are available for short-term or extended stays. Only a limited number of these residences are left for ownership. Aside from concierge and butler service and an impressive Residence Lounge overlooking the city, guests at the Raffles Residences can enjoy the first-class facilities and services of two grand deluxe hotels, namely the Fairmont and Raffles Makati.

Resident owner Gary Lauber can attest to impeccable living at Raffles Residences. “Owning a single family dwelling in Rancho Bernardo, California, we continue our pride of ownership into the Raffles Residences Makati.  It is our pleasure to welcome and showcase our Raffles Residence to our family and American and Filipino friends. We anticipate many safe, secure, tranquil and happy years within the Makati community and the convenience of location within the new Ayala Land development.”

David Collis, another resident, further states: “We are very pleased that Raffles Residences’ unique design encompasses the highest quality fixtures, fittings and finishes. The great attention to detail, the timber flooring and the floor-to-ceiling windows throughout translates into a spacious floor plan that enhances all aspects of the apartment that sets it apart. Having access to all the five-star facilities of both Raffles and the Fairmont Hotels in a premier location, combine this with the professional, friendly and efficient service of the Raffles Management and staff, provides for a truly luxurious living.”

To add to the graceful lifestyle Raffles Residences provides, world-class hotel facilities are at the disposal of residents. Spectrum, an all-day dining restaurant, offers a well-curated breakfast, lunch and dinner buffet as well as an a la carte menu of well-loved favorites and creative dishes.

The Long Bar has all the charm of its Singapore counterpart with its Malayan plantation feel complete with ceiling punka fans, monkey nuts and the famous Singapore Sling. The Writers Bar, with its library setting, provides the perfect ambience for a traditional afternoon tea. It is also the venue of readings and book signings of invited authors.

For those who wish to satisfy their sweet-tooth cravings, Café Macaron is a pastry boutique offering heavenly delicacies. Another place to unwind is the Fairmont Lounge where light meals, coffee, tea and cocktails are served in a vibrant setting.

Not to be missed are the two outdoor swimming pools: the exclusive Raffles pool at the ninth floor and the Fairmont pool overlooking the Greenbelt shopping complex. Willow Stream Spa provides an oasis amid the hustle and bustle of the city with its relaxing and rejuvenating treatments done in any of its five treatment rooms. A mineral pool is a welcome addition to the spa facilities. For those who prioritize their health through exercise, the Fitness Center offers modern Techno gym equipment, various exercise activities, and personal training.
