The Picasso Boutique Serviced Residences, or simply The Picasso Makati, is one of our favorite hotels in the Makati Central Business District (Manila, Philippines), especially during weekends when the area is void of its usually high volume of cars and dense population of office workers, thus providing guests with the luxury of fresher air to breath and more space to move around.

| Hotel Lobby | The Picasso Makati |
The Picasso Makati is managed by Hospitality Innovators Inc (Hi!), the same group behind Azumi Boutique Hotel in Alabang and Y2 Residence Hotel in Makati. We have stayed at The Picasso Makati for two times already, and customer service was consistently outstanding. Check-in was effortless and very convenient since guests can seat on the couch while the receptionists process the check-in. Note that an incidental deposit of P1,000.00 (~US$22.00) per night will be collected upon check-in.

| Elevator Lobby | The Picasso Makati |
The Picasso Makati is a one of a kind boutique hotel in Metro Manila where the interior is filled with art pieces and walls serve as blank canvases splashed with stark colors of reds, blues, yellows, and violets. The hotel is named after Pablo Picasso, a Spanish painter and sculptor who pioneered the Cubism art movement, and from whom the design of the hotel took its inspiration. The Elevator Lobby, for instance, is filled with elements of Cubism such as the checkered floor and the rectangular patterns of the furniture pieces.

| The Barcelona Suite | The Picasso Makati |
The Picasso Makati has a total of 136 guestrooms and suites which are classified into four room types: Studio, Premier Studio, Suite and Loft. The rooms are then further divided into room categories with names based on various Spanish cities where Pablo Picasso spent significant chapters of his life. The room categories also come in different color themes that reflect the topography and geography of the city after which they are named.
FEATURED ROOM The Madrid Studio The Studio Room is one of the four room types of The Picasso Boutique Serviced Residences in Makati City (Manila, Philippines). Although its the most basic room type, The Studio Room is luxuriously spacious at 45 sqm which, in Makati City standards, is much bigger than the average size of similar hotel guestroom types in the area. Studio Rooms are ideal for couples or small families looking for an affordable weekend staycation in the city. |
FEATURED ROOM The Barcelona Suite The Suite Rooms at The Picasso Boutique Serviced Residences in Makati City (Manila, Philippines) are perfect for families or groups of friends looking for more room space for their weekend staycation. Measuring at 88 sm, the Suite Room is twice the size of the hotel's Studio Room. It has a separate bedroom and living areas, as well as an ensuite bathroom with a bathtub and walk-in shower. |
All guest rooms and suites are equipped with a kitchenette with a mini-refrigerator, an electric stove, a microwave oven, and an electric kettle, as well as a rice cooker, cooking utensils, dinner plates, spoon & fork sets, glassware, iron, and ironing board available upon request. These residential amenities make The Picasso Makati an ideal Staycation hotel for couples or families who prefer to cook their own meals during their stay.

The Picasso Makati also has a Function Room which can be configured in various set-ups to accommodate any corporate or social gatherings. It can play host to business meetings, training, seminars, and parties. During our stay, the hotel hosted a weekend film showing inside the Function Room where couches were arranged to provide us a comfortable viewing experience.

Having an in-house Art Gallery is another feature that sets The Picasso Makati apart from other hotels in Metro Manila.

Located on the ground floor of the hotel is Pablo Restaurant, the all-day dining restaurant of The Picasso Makati.

The wood parquet flooring and the warm lights provide a cozy and elegant atmosphere, while tastefully selected chill-out tracks playing at the background give a relaxed yet classy mood to the diners.
