Business travelers to the Philippines can now look forward to international-standard luxury accommodations as one of the world’s leading serviced residence companies is set to manage a 116-unit serviced residence in the central business district of Makati City.
The Singapore-based Ascott Group, regarded as the pioneer in branded luxury serviced residences in the Asia-Pacific region, recently signed a multimillion-dollar contract to manage the prestigious Olympia Suites, an operational serviced residence along Makati Avenue.
This will make Ascott the largest international serviced residence chain in the country, with its 405 units dominating 47 percent of Manila’s four- and five-star serviced residence market.
The company has two other serviced residences in the city, namely the 138-unit Somerset Millennium in Legaspi Village and the 150-unit Somerset Salcedo in Salcedo Village.
The Olympia Suites will be upgraded to Ascott Group’s standards and relaunched as Somerset Olympia Makati by the second quarter of 2003, with the staff also trained in Ascott’s operational and service delivery systems.
The new Olympia will feature tastefully furnished, full-service studio, one-, and two-bedroom suites and a penthouse, along with a business center, conference rooms, fitness center, swimming pool, jacuzzi whirlpool, fine-dining restaurant, coffeeshop, basement parking, travel agencies and other amenities sought by business travelers.
"Our enriched living experience program for our guests in the Philippines has set new standards in how serviced residences can provide business travelers and their families with a nurturing home and support community," said Ascott Group chief operating officer Cameron Ong, who was in Manila recently for the contract signing.
The Ascott Group is now Asia-Pacific’s largest serviced residence chain, with 8,200 units found in 20 key cities across Asia, Australasia and the United Kingdom operating under its top executive Ascott brand and senior to upper executive Somerset brand.
