Luxury Without Compromise

 

Project Overview:  

Fairmont Makati and Raffles Makati were developed as the hospitality centerpiece of Ayala Center, introducing two internationally recognized luxury hotel brands alongside branded residences within Makati’s premier business district. The development broadened the district’s mixed-use offering by combining hospitality, residential living, dining, wellness, and event spaces in a single destination. 

Project Context: 

World-class business districts rely on hospitality destinations matching international expectations. By bringing globally recognized hotel brands to Makati’s commercial core, the development strengthened the city’s appeal to business and leisure travelers while reinforcing its standing as one of Southeast Asia’s leading financial and lifestyle destinations.

Project Scale:  

  • Approximately 7,000-square-meter site within Ayala Center, Makati  
  • 30-storey mixed-use development  
  • 280 guestrooms and suites at Fairmont Makati, and 32 suites at Raffles Makati  
  • Includes Raffles Residences Makati, approximately 1,700 square meters of meeting and event facilities, and eight restaurants, bars, and dining venues 

Project Features:  

  • International luxury hotels and branded residences within one development  
  • Prime location in the Makati Central Business District  
  • Comprehensive hospitality, wellness, dining, and event facilities 

Project Takeaway:  

Luxury hospitality depends on far more than exceptional service. Behind every refined guest experience are building systems, structures, and environments designed to perform with quiet precision. Through multidisciplinary consultancy services spanning civil, structural, building systems, façade, vertical transportation, traffic, lighting, and acoustics, Meinhardt Philippines contributed to a destination where operational excellence supports an internationally recognized standard of hospitality. The project further establishes Meinhardt Philippines as a trusted engineering consultancy for sophisticated mixed-use developments serving internationally recognized hospitality brands.
