Where Legendary Elegance Meets Manila's Beating Heart

Occupying the crown jewels of a stunning 30-storey glass masterpiece, Raffles Residences Makati represents the pinnacle of sophisticated living in the Philippines' premier business and lifestyle district.

Raffles Residences Makati: A True Urban Sanctuary in Manila's Central Business District


Standing as an architectural triumph in the heart of Makati's Central Business District, Raffles Residences Makati introduces an unprecedented standard of luxury living to the Philippines. This extraordinary 30-storey glass tower houses 237 exclusive private residences across its upper 20 floors, each serviced by the legendary Raffles hospitality that has captivated discerning travelers for over a century. Designed by internationally acclaimed Arquitectonica with interiors by Bent Severin Design Group, every residence embodies the perfect marriage of timeless elegance and contemporary sophistication.

Below the residences, a 32-suite Raffles hotel creates a seamless ecosystem of five-star amenities, world-class dining, and impeccable service. This is more than an address; it's a lifestyle statement, offering residents the rare privilege of experiencing Raffles' renowned grace and refinement within the sanctuary of their own homes. From breathtaking city views through floor-to-ceiling windows to the attentive care of 24-hour butler service, Raffles Residences Makati transforms everyday living into an endlessly enchanting experience.

Bringing the Essence of Raffles Beyond Hotel Doors into Your Home


The vision behind Raffles Residences Makati transcends conventional luxury—it reimagines what it means to live exceptionally in a modern metropolis. Drawing inspiration from the storied legacy of Raffles Singapore, this development brings the ethereal quality of legendary hospitality into permanent residence. The architectural design creates a vertical sanctuary where glass and light dance in harmony, framing mesmerizing views of Makati's dynamic cityscape while cocooning residents in serene elegance. Each residence becomes a private haven where the bustling energy of Manila's financial heart feels both intimately close and pleasantly removed.

This is a place conceived for those who believe in living life extraordinarily, individuals who appreciate that true luxury lies not merely in opulent materials, but in the seamless choreography of exceptional service, thoughtful design, and privileged access. The architects envisioned residences that would enrich lifestyles by offering something unprecedented: the ability to live within the embrace of Raffles' world-renowned hospitality while maintaining the privacy and permanence of home. Here, every sunset becomes a private viewing, every evening a potential celebration, and every day an opportunity to experience the extraordinary as ordinary. This is urban living elevated to an art form, where colonial elegance meets contemporary sensibility in perfect balance.
