Raffles opens luxury hotel in Manila

Raffles Hotels & Resorts will expand its portfolio with the opening of Raffles Makati in Metro Manila this December.

The official launch, followed by a grand opening in February 2013, will bring the company to nine hotels and resorts, from the flagship, Raffles Hotel in Singapore, to China, Cambodia, the Seychelles, Saudi Arabia, Dubai and Paris. There are plans for further openings in Istanbul, Jakarta and China over the next 18 months.

Raffles Makati will be at the heart of a brand new, 30-floor tower, home to three very different areas in the one building: Raffles Makati, with 32 suites; Raffles Residences, with 237 one- to four-bedroom residences for private ownership; and Fairmont Makati, a hotel with 280 deluxe rooms.

They have been designed by Singapore-based Bent Severin & Associates, whose impressive portfolio includes Raffles Hotel Singapore, Raffles Beijing, the British Embassy in Copenhagen and the Peninsula in Hong Kong.
