One Pacific Place at your service

MANILA, Philippines - Living in a serviced residence is becoming an increasingly popular option, considered by many to be superior to a conventional hotel. Such is the appeal of serviced residences to visitors staying in a destination for extended periods of time who naturally crave for a place that reminds them of home. This is where serviced residences like One Pacific Place in Makati come in.  

“Serviced residences are a trend primarily because there’s an expanding market for this product. People get to see the benefits in staying in fully equipped rooms. Guests now, whether they are travelers for business or for leisure, still want the amenities and comfort in a more homey setting,” says One Pacific Place Serviced Residences general manager Bernie Corpus.  

When the management says comfortable, they are serious. Fully operational since July last year, One Pacific Place Residences is home to a wide variety of room types appointed with the familiar comforts one would find at home. A second home as it were, with larger space, attractive pricing and services necessary for a relaxing visit.  

“What sets this residence apart from other accommodations are the full amenities both within and outside of the rooms. You can complete that important business transaction or simply unwind here, as our apartments are equipped with living, dining and cooking facilities. In short, it’s more than just a room, but a place to work or play,” says Corpus.

One Pacific Place specially takes pride in the available room sizes, which offer ample elbowroom should you decide to entertain people.   

“Each of our apartments or suites, if you compare it to the traditional or average hotel room, is self-contained for those that may wish to stay in,” says Corpus, adding that their array of rooms range from studio, one-bedroom to two-bedroom suites.

And outside of your apartment is a variety of amenities. Corpus adds: “Our guests can use the 25-meter lap pool and surrounding pool deck, a two-story gym fully equipped with professional equipment and exercise space, the day care area, four separate function rooms for business meetings and social events, and the ground floor F&B outlet, the Strand Café & Restaurant, for a la carte and buffet featuring Filipino and international food options for breakfast, lunch and dinner.”

Complementing the staff’s efforts to make guests feel as comfortable as possible is the high level of privacy and security within the building. “We are equipped with CC-TVs on all floors, in the elevators and parking areas and full electronic security for the elevator and all rooms.”

Another plus factor is the great location — strategic because of nearby restaurants surrounded by the Makati Central Business District and a concentration of major corporate offices. Yet not far away is the extensive variety of dining and shopping establishments that make Makati the center of Metro Manila. A few steps away is the famous Salcedo market which opens every Saturday, selling and serving organic food and local delicacies with a wide variety of cuisines.

Because serviced residences combine a sense of being in a private apartment parallel to a sense of a well-served hotel guest, Corpus says, “Our service staffers want guests to feel that they have come to the right place the instant they set foot on the lobby.”

Corpus says, “We take pride in our service. We give extra attention to it. We are very flexible.”

And what about the cost of enjoying all of this? Corpus proudly notes, “Our rates are very competitive. That’s why our guests see the advantage of staying here with us because we have addressed the requirements of what is truly defined as value for money.” 

One Pacific Place is the latest property development of the ACI Group and Cactus Realty Corp., which have developed many projects around Metro Manila. Quantum Hotels and Resorts, which specializes in serviced residences throughout the city, is the management company of One Pacific Place Residences.
