"The Picasso Boutique Serviced Residences", a Stylish and Amazing Boutique Serviced Residence in the Heart of Makati!


"Where art and passion live"...as The Picasso Boutique Serviced Residences would like to expect for their guest to experience upon stay. But, I actually felt and experienced it during my stay for 3 days 2 nights, which is for me I defined their property as a "unique, stylish-artsy-feels like home" boutique residence. This stylish-chic The Picasso Boutique Serviced Residences (also known as "The Picasso Makati") under the HII Hospitality (Hospitality Innovators Inc.) is in the main business district of Makati - the financial center of the Philippines;  it has the highest concentration of multinational and local corporations in the country. Major banks, corporations, department stores as well as foreign embassies are based in Makati.

After going back to The Picasso Boutique Serviced Residences, we visited the Free Pass- "Altro Mondo at The Picasso Art Gallery" in 4th floor which is really interesting especially if you love art and see a gallery!

Revel in the local contemporary Filipino art at our gallery operated by Altro Mondo Arte Contemporanea, our in-house curator. Devoted to cultivating fresh ideas and concepts via different media and committed visual artist exhibits that vary every 2 – 3 months.










In evening, I and my mom were able to relax ourselves in Qi Wellness Spa which is located at 4th floor and their 90-minute Qi Tranquility Massage Treatment that only cost Php1,180 nett (USD$23) is a really must-try.

After 3 days 2 nights stay at The Picasso Boutique Serviced Residences in Makati, we really enjoyed our Staycation here! With their spacious and stylish Mallorca, 15-30 mins. walk to all the nicest restaurants and shopping malls like Ayala and Greenbelt, as well as my amazing Spa treatment at Qi Wellness Spa for its very affordable amount, definitely, this hotel is a "spot-on" boutique serviced residence in Makati. And, definitely, one of my most recommended serviced residences to stay not only in Makati but all-over Manila!
