Serviced Residences at Ascott International’s Somerset

Posted by Lauren on Jul 30, 2009 in Travel | 0 comments

Staying at a five star hotel for long periods of time may not always be a good thing. Despite the luxurious amenities and extra services, it just doesn’t have the warmth and feel of a home – not to mention that it can be pretty expensive. If you’re staying in Manila for weeks or months and are accustomed to fine surroundings and top-notch service, consider staying at a serviced residence instead. A serviced residence is what you get if you cross a fully-furnished designer apartment and a five star hotel. At Ascott International Somerset serviced residences, guests can bask in the luxury of their fine furniture, enjoy room service, and the convenience of being located right in the middle of the city for as long as they want.

Currently, there are three Somerset serviced residences located right at the heart of Makati. Each one has a unique set of amenities that caters to different needs. All provide the same upscale lifestyle and features anyone can expect from a five star serviced residence.

Somerset Salcedo

Somerset Salcedo provides spacious living at a convenient location. Not only is the building a stone’s throw away from Makati’s business offices, financial establishments, and shopping districts; it’s also within walking distance of the Salcedo Saturday Market. Guests can enjoy sampling and buying homemade good, local delicacies, and make meals out of fresh produce and meats using the kitchen facilities of each room.

Somerset Olympia

Most hotels are iffy about letting four-legged critters run about, but not the Somerset Olympia. This serviced residence is the only Ascott property in the country that allows guests to bring in any furry companions they might have. Besides the comfort of knowing that your pets will be well taken care of, you can also enjoy 24-hour room service from a household name for authentic Swiss food – The Old Swiss Inn. A selection of concessionaires are also available within the property’s four towers like Zunic Slimming Spa, Cava Bar and Restaurant, Hertz Rent a Car, Todavia, and San Francisco Coffee.

Somerset Millennium

Somerset Millennium provides the ultimate retreat in the city, without taking you too far away from the pulse of the metro. Its spacious interiors and comprehensive living amenities are nothing like you would find at five star hotels. Somerset Millennium is also located within walking distance of the Greenbelt malls, providing you with so many leisure options and dining choices. If you’re in town for business, you need not worry about adjusting to the pace of Manila life because Somerset Host will help you acclimate to the city and the country itself. Extended stay residents can partake in city tours, quarterly parties, and a monthly WOW gift, a simple token that will remind you of Filipino culture.
