Character and identity
Rising 30 storeys above Makati's central business district, Fairmont Makati is a sleek modern tower designed by Arquitectonica with interiors by Bent Severin International. The 280 contemporary rooms feel polished and citified, with floor-to-ceiling windows pulling the skyline indoors, while Filipino textures and references thread through the public spaces. The fourth-floor outdoor pool functions as an urban escape with sun terrace and loungers, and the 13,000-square-foot Willow Stream Spa anchors the wellness offer with a eucalyptus steam room, mineral pool, five treatment rooms, salon and adjacent fitness centre. The building is shared with Raffles Makati.
Who's it for
Best for:
Business travellers and shoppers who want to be at the centre of Makati without ever stepping into the heat: the private underground passageway delivers you straight to Greenbelt Mall, and the Philippine Stock Exchange is a short walk. Event planners get 18,000 square feet of function space and a 720-guest ballroom. Fairmont Gold guests get the most polished experience.
Should look elsewhere:
Travellers chasing resort atmosphere, beach access, or a quiet retreat will find this firmly an urban business hotel. Design pilgrims looking for a strong sense of place may find the contemporary interiors more corporate-international than distinctively Filipino.
Bottom line
The pitch here is location and logistics: a connected, comfortable base in the heart of Makati with a genuinely impressive spa attached. Book it if you're in town for meetings, shopping, or a city stopover, and pay up for a Fairmont Gold room to unlock private check-in, pressing service and the all-day lounge with skyline views. Leisure-only travellers should pair it with a beach leg elsewhere.
