Ascott Makati

Scene

An upscale business hotel with stylish serviced apartments and a pool

Housed in a glass and concrete tower built directly on top of renowned Glorietta 4 shopping mall, the Ascott Makati is a natural pick for business travelers and expats who want the comfort of their own home but with all the services of a hotel. The lobby is elegant and classic. High ceilings and huge windows make the space appealing, while plush armchairs and couches with lots of pillows are inviting and stylish.

Location

Within walking distance of shopping, dining and nightlife in central Makati

The hotel is located directly above Glorietta 4, a shopping and entertainment center in central Makati chock-full of restaurants, stores and movie theaters. There are several other malls within walking distance, and Makati Avenue’s famous nightlife scene is also a short walk away. While this location is convenient for business travelers and those looking to go shopping, travelers interested in seeing the historic sights of Manila may want to note that major attractions such as Intramuros, Fort Santiago, University of Santo Tomas, Rizal Park, and the Manila Cathedral are all about a 20-minute drive from the hotel. The airport can be reached in 15 to 30 minutes depending on traffic conditions.
