Somerset Valero Makati Offers a Relaxing Escape in the Heart of the City
MAKATI CITY — Amid the fast-paced environment of Makati’s central business district, where towering office buildings and busy streets dominate the landscape, Somerset Valero Makati introduces a quieter and more relaxing way to experience city living. Located along the calmer corners of Valero and Villar Streets in Salcedo Village, the serviced residence offers travelers a space designed for comfort, balance, and rest in the middle of the country’s premier financial district.
Operated by The Ascott Limited Philippines, Somerset Valero Makati features 182 modern residences thoughtfully designed for both short and long-term stays. Accommodation options range from compact studio units to spacious three-bedroom suites, giving guests more room than what is typically found in traditional city hotels. Studio units measure around 37 square meters and are ideal for solo travelers or professionals, while one-bedroom residences offer approximately 73 square meters of living space suited for extended stays or remote work arrangements. Larger two- and three-bedroom units, ranging from 111 to 124 square meters, are designed for families or guests seeking a more spacious home-like environment.
Wellness-Focused Living in the City
Rather than offering the usual hotel experience, Somerset Valero Makati places strong emphasis on wellness and mindful living. One of its standout accommodations is the WellTech Suite, a specially designed one-bedroom residence equipped with wellness-focused features such as a massage chair, eye massager, scent diffuser, and fitness ball. The suite was created to provide guests with a calming retreat after a busy day in the city.
The focus on wellbeing continues throughout the property. Guests have access to a fully equipped gym, a swimming pool, and a Kids Club for families traveling with children. The property is also exploring partnerships with nearby wellness providers such as SAMA Wellbeing for activities including yoga, breathwork meditation, and other mindfulness sessions.
Pet-Friendly and Designed With Sustainability in Mind
Recognizing the needs of modern travelers, Somerset Valero Makati also welcomes pets, making it one of the few pet-friendly serviced residences in Makati. Guests may bring pets of any size for an additional fee, with in-room amenities such as food and water bowls provided for convenience. Sustainability also plays a role in the property’s overall design. Interiors feature calming tones, locally inspired materials, and layouts that maximize natural lighting and airflow. Through these design choices, the property promotes a more environmentally conscious and comfortable stay.
Close to Makati’s Key Destinations
Its location in Salcedo Village places guests near some of Makati’s most popular attractions and lifestyle destinations. Ayala Triangle Gardens is within walking distance, while shopping and entertainment hubs such as Greenbelt, Glorietta, and Rockwell Center are just minutes away. Guests can also easily explore Poblacion, known for its cafes, bars, and nightlife scene, as well as the Salcedo Weekend Market, which features local food and artisanal products. For travelers arriving from abroad or other parts of the country, Ninoy Aquino International Airport is located approximately eight kilometers away and can be reached in about 20 minutes through the Skyway.
A Comfortable Stay in the Middle of Makati
