Philippines: Seda Hotels has opened the Seda Residences Makati, the first serviced apartments in the hotel group’s portfolio.
Located at the northern end of Ayala Avenue, the new project is part of the Ayala North Exchange complex, which has a mall and two towers. The apartments occupy the top half of Tower 1, from the 19th to the 35th floor.
“It’s compact, unlike other hotels that are so sprawling and spread out. Here, it’s so easy to get to one thing to another. We’re in the lobby, the pool is here, and gym. You go up to the guest rooms and the top floor is the restaurant and bar. Everything is all in one nice box,” said Seda Residences Makati general manager Marc Cerqueda.
As the first serviced residences of the hotel brand, the property targets long staying clients coming from the corporate sector.
“We use the term residences because all the rooms here are suites. Meaning, all the rooms have kitchens; some of the rooms have washer and dryer. We are perfect for long stays and we are perfect for short stays. We provide full amenities like utensils, pots, etc., which other regular hotels would not. So we consider ourselves an all-suite hotel in that sense. Every singe room, from the smallest to the biggest, has a kitchen,” said Cerqueda.
The hotel has 293 keys divided into four room types: studio (deluxe and premier), one bedroom (deluxe and premier), two-bedroom (deluxe and premier), and three-bedroom premier.
Seda Hotels is owned and operated by AyalaLand Hotels and Resorts Corp., the hospitality arm of Ayala Land Inc.
