Manila’s Creative Crib: The Picasso Boutique Serviced Residences
The slick neighborhood of Salcedo in Makati has recently seen some major creative facelifts in the last couple of years. From just being a home to thousands of working professionals and businessmen who walk and drive pass by the district’s busy streets, Salcedo Village has embraced this ‘millennial generation’ with its artsy transformation and its global move towards everything cool.
From speakeasy bars, hipster cafes to weekend markets, buzz here is almost never-ending.
And speaking of art, a myriad of beautiful visual reveries have happily found their way in the heart of Makati at The Picasso Boutique Serviced Residences. Inspired by the Spanish abstract artist Pablo Picasso, this 136-key boutique residences/hotel aims to provide a vibrant yet homey vibe that defies traditional hotel layouts.
With studio rooms ranging from 45 square meters (Malaga and Madrid Studio) to lofts at 93 square meters (The Picasso Loft), The Picasso provides various options for solo travelers and even families/groups.
The hotel also offers complimentary Wi-Fi, gym, an in-house art gallery, and access to an upscale spa (The Qi Wellness Spa).
Around the Neighborhood:
To kick-start your morning, get a cup of coffee at Toby’s Estate (L.P. Leviste St.) and order some Squid Ink Spaghetti at Wildflour Cafe + Bakery (L.P. Leviste St.) for lunch. If you are looking to shop for unorthodox craftsy items, head down to Craftsmith (H.P. Dela Costa).
If you are in the neighborhood for the weekend, nearby the hotel is the Salcedo Weekend Community Market with over a hundred stores piled up selling a variety of food, drinks and even household items.
