Fairmont Hotel Raffles Makati Launch Party

ย 

When in Manila, make sure to stay at the two newest hotels in Makati – The Fairmont Hotel and Raffles Makati. The exclusive launch party of the Fairmont Hotel Raffles Makatiย was held last ย February 7, 2013. ย It was one of the most memorable parties we have ever been to with free flowing Veuve Cliquot and Billecart Salmon Champagne, Santa Victoria still water, a gourmet buffet spread at the ballroom and Spectrum. We finished our evening at the Long Barย  where it was customary to throw peanut shells on the floor. At the buffet were fin de claire oysters, spanish and italian charcuterie, gourmet cheese selection, sashimi including salmon roe, angus ribeye steaks etc. Learn more after the break.

At the corner of Makati Avenue and Pasay road glistens a 30 story tower that is home to two famous brands Fairmont and Raffles but take note there are three distinct properties, the 280 room Fairmont Hotel Makati, the 32 suite Raffles Makati, and 237 serviced apartments of the Raffles Residences. Makati real estate has taken the next step forward in luxury living. Raffles Residences units currently sell for a minimum of PHP 280,000 ($US 7,000) per square meter, more than double the price they were pre-selling just a few years ago.ย  ย 

While the Fairmont and Raffles brands may share the same edifice, food outlets and ballroom, they are managed independently and have a different vibe.ย  The Fairmont brand has its roots in Bermuda with a North American sense of service while the Raffles being Singapore based has an Asian approach to hospitality. Two global brands = two presidents, Jennifer Fox at the Fairmont and John Johnston for the Raffles.
